The Hair Clip Trend
The hair clip game is happening BIG TIME, friends! If you haven’t tried it out yet, what are you waiting for? And yes, you’re probably seeing the pearl hair clips absolutely everywhere. I feel like they sparked the movement, but they are not the only option. There’s so many wonderful hair clips out there to fit any style.
You all know I’m not really a pearl kind of a gal, but I had to try it. I don’t HATE it. But it’s definitely not my favorite. Plus, paired with a sleek bob and a simple tee, it feels more me for sure. However, since this trend is in full swing, there are so many clips and barrettes to choose from. First, let’s chat how to wear them!
How To Wear The Hair Clip Trend
You don’t have to be a hair expert to wear this fun trend. They’re simple to add to any and all hairstyles. Whether you go simple like I did with these pearl ones by placing them on the side of your part. Or go more fancy by adding them to a messy top knot. You can add them to the side pulling a few pieces back, or even clip up all your baby hairs below the bun. It’s a fun take on a topkont and makes even the girliest of clips feel more badass.
If you’re into a braid, you can always add these instead of doing a bobby pin holding pieces back. I love a simple fishtail braid pulled back like this. Swap bobby pin for a fun trendy clip. Or just take a piece of hair and do a simple twist and secure!
