24. Pixie Cut
Yup, even the shortest of hair lengths can wear hair clips! It’s also a great trick for taming your growing short hair, especially when it’s at its awkward stage. Just wear them on the side to neatly tuck your hair behind your ear for a sleek, chic hair clip hairstyle.
25. Low Messy Bun
When you’re having a lazy day, hair clips can effortlessly elevate your ‘do. If you’re due for a formal affair but got no energy to glam up, you can just wear elegant accessories on your underdressed hair—say a messy low bun—to match your outfit.
26. Wavy and Long with Metallic Clip
A low ‘do looks great with a hair clip. Give body to your hair by adding huge waves using a wide-barreled curling wand, then part it in the middle or at the side, depending on how you want it.

Wavy hair is nice to flaunt and wear in a low ‘do. But if you don’t like the feeling of your hair falling all over your face, then, this half updo is the best hairstyle for you.

There are actually no hard and fast rules when it comes to wearing these accessories. Whatever works for you is fine, so go ahead and mix and match your favorite pins, clips, and barrettes. Have fun!
