Duckbill clips, also known as beak clips, are one of the most useful little tools you can have. They are lovely for sectioning hair, adding volume and holding a style in place. Here is how to make the most of them.
What Does a Duckbill Clip Do?
A duckbill clip has two long, slim arms that close together to hold a section of hair flat and secure. They are often used to section hair while styling, but they also make a neat, simple accessory on their own.
How Do You Use Duckbill Clips for Volume?
Gently backcomb the section of hair you would like to lift, add a little hairspray for hold, then secure the section with a duckbill clip. It is a simple way to add volume and texture to your style.
How Do You Section Hair With Clips?
- Part the crown straight down the middle of your head and clip each half with a duckbill clip.
- Use the remaining hair at the back for the nape sections.
- Extend the centre parting down to divide the nape into left and right sections.
This keeps everything neat and in control, whether you are creating a French pleat or simply keeping your hair back while you do your make-up.
How Do You Wear a Duckbill Clip?
Press the sides of the clip near the spring to open it, take a section of hair with your other hand, slide the clip into place and release. It gives a secure hold that keeps your hair in place throughout the day.
Whether you are a professional stylist or simply enjoy styling your hair at home, duckbill clips are a lovely, practical addition to your collection.
