Elevate Everyday Day Hair With These Clips And Hairstyles This Summer

Add some dimension to your twisted updo by using two clips to secure it. Crown Affair’s two-piece set of handcrafted claw clips are medium in size making them suitable to hold a wide range of hair types in this compelling hairdo. Vegan, cruelty-free, and eco-friendly, The Clips ($54) are made from a non-plastic plant-based acetate that’s built to last. Their tortoise pattern matches well with every hair color and is soon to be your new go-to hair accessory.

Create a romantic hairstyle in seconds with a half-up half-down + claw clip combination. Simply use both pointer fingers to gather hair away from the face directly above each ear and secure it with Machete’s Grande Heirloom Claw Clip ($42). This clip can handle large volumes of hair whether it be long, short, wavy, straight, curly, etc. Constructed using Italian acetate with double-walled reinforcement, this clip was made to last, and an array of trendy patterns makes it hard to purchase just one.

When your clip isn’t occupied by hair twists and top knots, fasten it onto the strap of your go-to bag for a fun pop of color. Home of the Big Effing Clip ($34), Emi Jay has a variety of collections that make the perfect finishing touch to any tote bag or crossbody. Stay neutral with a solid color, celebrate your big day with the bridal clip, or make a statement with sparkles. Emi Jay also customizes their best-selling clip for an extra cost using 100% Swarovski crystals which make a great personalized gift for a friend, or even yourself.

Founded by Tracee Ellis Ross, Pattern aims to cultivate products for curly, coily, and tight hair textures that previously did not have much representation in the hair accessory space. Thankfully, their Hair Clip ($10) was designed with this in mind. This sturdy clip is great for sectioning off curly hair allowing users to cater to one section at a time while conditioning or co-washing. Allow the Hair Clip to be the third hand you wish you had to hold back hair while applying styling products that will have your curls looking right.

Clips don’t have to be strictly reserved for twists. Instead, let your hair waterfall down with a claw clip ponytail. To recreate the above look, loosely gather hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck and use Kitsch’s Eco-Friendly Marble Claw Clip ($10) to hold it in place. Pull face-framing layers free with fingers or a wide-toothed comb. This glossy, marbled clip ties the whole look together by offering simple sophistication you can feel good about due to its construction from recycled acrylic.
