5 Ways to Style a Claw Clip for Every Occasion

in FAQ & Tutorials

The claw clip is the most versatile hair accessory you own — and most people are only using it one way.

Here are five looks that take under a minute each, work for most hair types, and go from Monday morning to Saturday night without missing a beat.

1. The Classic French Twist (Office-Ready)

Best for: Work, meetings, professional settings
Works with: The Kendall

Gather all your hair and twist it upward in one smooth motion, then clip at the top. Let the ends fan out slightly above the clip. The result looks intentional and polished — like you spent time on it, even if you didn't.

Pro tip: Leave two small pieces loose at the front to frame your face.

2. The Relaxed Half-Up (Everyday Casual)

Best for: Weekends, errands, WFH days
Works with: The Kendall

Take just the top half of your hair, twist loosely, and clip at the crown. Leave the rest down. It keeps hair off your face without committing to a full updo — effortless and relaxed.

3. The High Bun (Thick Hair Hero)

Best for: Gym, busy days, thick or heavy hair
Works with: The Taylor Jumbo

Gather all your hair high on your head, twist into a loose bun shape, and secure with The Taylor. The high-tension spring holds the weight of thick hair without slipping — even through a workout.

Pro tip: Don't pull it too tight. A slightly undone bun looks more stylish and puts less tension on your scalp.

4. The Low Twist (Evening Elegant)

Best for: Dinner, events, date night
Works with: The Kendall

Gather hair at the nape of your neck, twist once, and clip low. Pull a few pieces loose around your face. The low placement feels more dressed-up than a high updo — and the acetate finish of The Kendall catches the light beautifully in the evening.

5. The Messy Claw Bun (The "I Woke Up Like This" Look)

Best for: Any day you want to look effortless
Works with: The Kendall or The Taylor

Flip your head forward, gather hair loosely, flip back, and clip wherever it lands. Don't fix it. The imperfection is the point — and a quality acetate clip makes even a messy bun look like a deliberate style choice.
