Prep Your Hair for Natural Hold

Freshly washed hair is often too silky to stay anchored inside a hair clip all day long. Spritz a light dry shampoo or texturizing spray through your mid-lengths to create grit and subtle volume. This gives the teeth of the clip something solid to grip onto throughout your daily routine.

The Twist and Gather Technique

Gather your hair at the nape of your neck as if you were making a low ponytail. Twist the hair firmly upwards toward the crown of your head, keeping the roll tight against your scalp. Fold the remaining tail of hair down into the center of the twist before securing the clip over the fold.

Pull Out Soft Face Framing Tendrils

Once your clip is firmly in place, gently loosen a few soft pieces around your hairline and temples. This softens your facial profile and gives the hairstyle its coveted Pinterest aesthetic. Finish with a micro mist of flexible hairspray to lock in the volume without adding stiffness.
