Hair accessories are like the cherry on top: they add that little touch that makes all the difference. Whether you have a busy morning or simply want to change your look, hair ties and clips are there to simplify your life… while making you shine!
We're sharing six super easy hairstyles that will give your style the fresh, original look it needs. From a chic bun to a romantic braid or a charming half-up style, there's something for everyone.
Clips
Hair clips aren't just practical; they can also be very stylish. Whether you have a date, a meeting, or simply want to change your look, these three hairstyles with clips are quick, easy, and very versatile. Here's how to create them and how the right accessories can enhance them.
1. Classic Bun with a Large Clip
How to do it?
This hairstyle is ideal for warm days or when you simply want to keep your hair out of your face. Simply gather all your hair towards the back, as if making a low ponytail, then twist it around itself to form a small vertical roll, securing it with a large clip. You can leave a few strands loose around your face to soften the look.
Style tips:
Use a stylish claw clip in gold, tortoiseshell, or even pearl details. For a more sophisticated look, opt for metallic or rhinestone-embellished clips. This updo pairs perfectly with statement earrings or bolder makeup.
2. Half Updo with Two Side-Swept Bangs
How to do it?
This hairstyle involves taking two strands of hair from each side, near your ears. Bring them back and secure them together at the back of your head. Instead of using an elastic band, hold them in place with a medium or small clip. It's a delicate and feminine way to keep your hair out of your face while leaving the rest of your hair loose. Style Tips:
This hairstyle changes completely depending on the type of clip used. A flower or butterfly clip adds a romantic touch, while a minimalist clip in clear acrylic gives a modern effect. You can also cross two small clips for a more creative look.
3. Half Updo with Bun and Clip
How to do it?
This style combines the best of both worlds: the comfort of a bun and the freedom of loose hair. Take only the top half of your hair, as if you were making a half-updo. Twist this section into a small bun and secure it with a medium or large clip at the back. The rest of your hair remains loose, giving a relaxed and youthful effect.
Style Tips:
This look looks great with textured, pastel, or printed clips. You can also add small decorative clips to the sides for a more playful and original effect. If you have bangs or front sections, leave them loose for a more natural look. The wonderful thing about hair clips is that you can use them to express your personal style. Don't hesitate to experiment with sizes, colors, and shapes. You can even combine several types in the same hairstyle for a unique look. Plus, they're gentle on your hair and prevent the damage sometimes caused by elastics or clips that are too tight.
Hair Ties
Hair ties are a must-have in any beauty kit, but with a little creativity, they can become the real stars of your look. Whether you opt for classic black or more colorful and decorative versions, these three hairstyles will give you fresh ideas for looking great without any fuss.
1. High Half-Up Ponytail with Elastic
How to do it?
This hairstyle is perfect for a youthful look with plenty of volume. Simply take the top section of your hair (from your temples to the back), gather it up as if you were making a high ponytail, and secure it with an elastic. For added texture, you can gently loosen the roots or backcomb a little before securing your hair.
Style tips:
Choose a unique hair tie to add character to your hairstyle: velvet, shiny, or in a bright color. You can also wrap a strand of your hair around the tie for a more polished look. Pair it with natural makeup and glossy lips for a fresh effect.
2. Low bun with a hair tie
How to do it?
Ideal for more formal occasions or when you're looking for a clean and elegant style. Start by making a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. Then, wrap your hair around the hair tie to form a bun and secure it with bobby pins. You can also use a second hair tie.
