5 Easy Claw Clip Hairstyles for Thick, Fine or Short Hair
A claw clip makes it easy to create hairstyles that feel both effortless and elegant. Discover five claw clip hairstyles for thick, fine or short hair, from a classic ponytail and messy bun to a half-up hairstyle, French twist and folded ponytail.
The size of the clip must also be adapted to the density of your hair. Check out our guide to choosing a clip based on your hair type.
Claw Clip Ponytail
The classic ponytail becomes instantly chic with the addition of a claw clip. For this look, start by tying your hair into a classic ponytail. Then, choose a claw clip of the appropriate size (such as the Knot M clip) and insert it horizontally through the base of the ponytail. Be sure to let some hair poke out through the clip for a relaxed and elegant effect.
Messy Bun with a Claw Clip
The messy bun, a symbol of nonchalant elegance, is even easier to achieve with a claw clip. Gather your hair into a loose bun at your desired height. To keep it in place, use a claw clip diagonally through the bun, allowing strands to fall out casually. Smaller clip sizes, like the Eyelets Only S clip here, are recommended for this style. This relaxed hairstyle is ideal for a casual everyday look.
Half-Up Claw Clip Hairstyle
The half-up, a revisited classic, becomes an elegant choice with a claw clip. To create this hairstyle, separate a section of hair from the top of your head and tie it into a half-ponytail. Secure it with a claw clip, preferably a small or medium size if you have thick hair, by placing the clip at the base of the half-ponytail for a discreet yet secure hold.
French Twist with a Claw Clip
The iconic hairstyle that perfectly lends itself to the use of a claw clip is the "French twist." To create this look, gather all your hair into a ponytail and twist it delicately upwards. Secure the ends in place using a claw clip, ensuring an elegant hold. For a touch firmly rooted in the 90s, don't hesitate to release two thin strands on each side of your face. Our Eyelets L-size clips, the largest size at Mauliébris, are perfect for this hairstyle.
Folded Ponytail with a Claw Clip
The tucked ponytail is a simple and elegant hairstyle for fine or short hair. It gathers the hair into a small loop at the nape of the neck, with the ends poking out above the clip.
Gather all your hair into a low ponytail, then fold the lengths onto themselves to form a loop, keeping the ends pointing upwards. Secure the hairstyle with an XS clip where the ends meet the base of the ponytail.
You can smooth the strands around your face for a sleek result, or leave them slightly loose for a more natural look.
The suitable piece: a Mauliébris XS size clip to hold the loop and highlight the hairstyle with a precious detail.
