THE TREND: HAIR CLIPS

15:56:00

90S BARRETTES AND NOVELTY CLIPS ARE BACK

Hair clips are with out a doubt one of the biggest beauty trends at the moment.  As a 90s kid, I loved hair accessories, and I couldn’t be more excited to see the revival of hair clips, barrettes, scrunchies, hair bows, headbands, and hair pins.  With hair clips dominating both on and off the catwalk and seen on just about everyone from fashion editors to bloggers and Instagram influencers — from pearl-embellished ones to more subtle slides — this faithful hair staple isn’t going anywhere. Hair clips and barrettes are a super easy way to update your look.  While these hair accessories do have a practical function like keeping your hair out of your face, it’s more about the way they look, like jewellery for your hair.

HOW TO WEAR HAIR CLIPS


The hair clip isn't new in any sense of the word, it just disappeared for a while and is now back and what you see on the runway is usually not a realistic representation of how that trend will be worn, but it does give us a good base to try the trend with a less dramatic approach and it is extremely easy that anyone can wear hair clips, no matter how short or long, curly or straight your hair is, there is also no big investment in buying hair clips and it gives you a polished and glam look with little to no effort.

Keep your hair style simple and try not to do too much styling with your hair if you will be adding accessories.  Hair clips and barrettes look best when they are the star feature and the rest of the hair is low-key.  You can wear as many as you want or try to mix & match different sizes and materials.  Feel free to use your imagination to create geometric shapes such as “X” or “V” with barrettes or even bobby pins.


PART AND CLIP

When it comes to nailing the look, simply part your hair, choose a side (or both sides, if you're feeling bold - think a sleek middle part with one by each ear) and clip your hair back with your brand-new clip.

UP AND CLIP

Try a sleek low bun with a few pins towards the back of the head, or tuck one side behind your ear and you can totally get away with wearing it with three day unwashed hair - winner!

HALF UP, HALF DOWN AND CLIP

An effortless chic look would be to secure half of the hair at the back with a large barrette.

STACK THEM

Going heavy on the accessories is nothing new and because in fashion, one is never enough, you can do the same for this hair trend. Stack barrettes, clips or a combination of both on any hairstyle.  It is a bold, daring look, yet it’s still super wearable and anyone can pull it off, for sure.
