7. The Voluminous Top Knot Base
Want a messy bun with some serious height? Gather your hair high on your head. Twist it into a loose, voluminous bun. Secure the base of the bun with a large claw clip, letting the ends spill out. Gently pull at the hair around the crown before clipping to add even more volume.
6. The Half-Up Messy Bun
This is a classic for a reason. Take the top half of your hair, from your temples upwards. Twist this section into a messy bun on top of your head. Secure the bun with a medium claw clip. This style works well for different hair lengths. I love leaving out some face-framing pieces for a softer look.
5. The Twisted High Bun
For a chic and quick updo, try this. Gather all your hair into a high ponytail position. Start twisting your hair upwards, wrapping it around itself to form a bun. Secure the twisted bun with a strong claw clip. This gives a lovely, effortless appearance. Make sure the clip is large enough to hold all your hair securely.
4. The Classic Messy Bun
This is probably the most popular way to use a claw clip. Gather your hair at the back of your head. Twist it loosely from the ends upwards. Wrap the twisted hair into a bun shape. Secure the bun with a large claw clip, letting the ends poke out. The key to the perfect messiness is not overthinking it; just twist and clip!
3. The Low Twist and Clip
This style is all about effortless elegance. Gather your hair loosely at the nape of your neck. Twist the hair upwards from the ends. Secure the twisted hair against your head with a medium or large claw clip. Let some pieces fall out around your neck and face for a soft, polished finish.
2. The French Twist Clip
A quicker take on the classic French twist. Gather your hair as if making a low ponytail. Twist the hair upwards, keeping it flat against your head. Continue twisting until you reach the top of your head. Fold the twisted hair over and secure it in place with a medium or large claw clip running vertically up the back of your head. If you have shorter layers, use bobby pins to help keep them secured before clipping.
