Surviving the Heat with Claw Clips | 3 Easy Styles

When the weather warms up, there is nothing nicer than lifting your hair off your neck. Claw clips are one of the easiest ways to do it beautifully.

These versatile, easy-to-use accessories keep your hair off your neck and offer a range of elegant, fuss-free hairstyles. Here are three of our favourite claw clip styles to help you stay cool.

1. The classic French twist

1. Gather your hair into a low ponytail.
2. Twist the ponytail upwards, keeping it close to your head.
3. Secure the twist with a claw clip at the base.
4. Tuck any loose ends into the twist or let them fall naturally.

The French twist is elegant and timeless. It keeps hair neatly off your neck and shoulders, which is perfect for hot days, and with the right clip it is easy to achieve. The Original Medium Hair Claw Clip is a lovely choice for all hair types. If you have really long hair, The Original Large Hair Claw Clip gives you even more space inside the claw.

2. Half up, half down

1. Section off the top half of your hair from temple to temple.
2. Gather this section and twist it slightly.
3. Secure the twisted section with a small claw clip at the back of your head.
4. Let the rest of your hair fall freely.

This style is ideal if you want to keep your hair out of your face while still enjoying the look of loose hair. It is a lovely way to stay cool while giving the impression of wearing your hair down.

The Original Small Hair Claw Clip is one of our favourites for half-up styles: small, sturdy and handmade in France.

3. Messy bun

1. Pull your hair into a high ponytail.
2. Twist the ponytail loosely and wrap it around itself to form a bun.
3. Secure the bun with a claw clip.
4. Pull out a few strands around your face for a relaxed look.

The messy bun is quick, easy and chic, perfect if you prefer an effortless look that still keeps your hair off your neck.

For very thick and long hair, our Octopus Thick Hair Claw Clip works beautifully. Its long teeth overlap tightly around the back of your bun for a secure hold all day.
