Do you remember the butterfly hair clips of the 1990s? Well, they have made a comeback. The once humble butterfly clamp is now worn by stylish women everywhere, as a classic hairpiece with a modern twist.

This simple hair accessory has been transformed from something you used to quickly clip your hair back with into one of the most elegant ways to style your hair.

The claw clip is still a firm favourite because it makes a quick, casual up-do so easy. However, claw clips are also a lovely way to transform your hairstyle.

4. Ponytail

Use a hair claw to create a chic ponytail, a gentler option for your hair than a tight hair elastic.

5. Messy Up-Do

You can have fun with this hairstyle. Why not try this: part your hair into two halves, brush each half backwards from the crown and secure with two small claw clips.
