Have you been thinking about trying a new hairstyle? Determined to master the classic chignon? You are in luck: we have put together this video showing how to wear some of our most popular French clips.
First, the video shows how to create a French twist with one of our lovely side combs. Simply twist the hair up tightly and tuck in the ends. Then turn the comb so the curve faces away from the head and push it through the very top of the twist. Lastly, flip the comb and push it firmly back into the hair so the teeth sit close to the back of the head. Easy.
If your hair is thick, a comb with longer, stronger teeth such as our 12cm French Pleat Comb may suit you, or you can create easy French twists with our hair claws or chignon pins.
Next is a pretty updo created with an arched barrette. First gather the hair into a ponytail at the nape of the neck and twist it a few times. Fold the ponytail back up on itself and hold it against the head. Then simply open the barrette and secure it over the folded ponytail, making sure the metal clasp is as close to the end as possible to keep it secure.
Lastly, there is a classic half up, half down look with a bow barrette, perfect for special occasions. Simply take two small sections from the front of the head, draw them together at the back and secure them with the barrette.
Our Ooh La La! French Handmade hair accessories are made from beautiful, flexible cellulose acetate, made to outlast throwaway plastic hair accessories by years. Because the design is created inside the sheets of acetate rather than painted on afterwards, the clips have a wonderful depth of colour that stays beautiful for years.
