Narrow Hair Clip by TEGEN

Gripped back short hairstyles for women

Hair grips and small clips, with their secure hold, are ideal for adding a touch of sparkle to a shorter style. Try layering them up, or grip back flyaways and fringes with a single statement clip or some mini hair claws. The Narrow Hair Clip is lovely for pinning back small sections, and you can stack a few together.

These short hair accessories are easy to use: just hold back the hair where you want the clip to sit and slide it firmly into place.

Headbands

For the simplest style update, a headband is the obvious choice, whatever your hair length. Just slide it behind your ears and that is it. There is no need to worry about heavy clips sliding out of short hair, or teeth that need a little more length or volume to sit snugly.

For special occasions, a sparkling headband such as the Crystal Studded Velvet Headband adds a lovely touch of glamour.

For a chic everyday look, our French Handmade Narrow Headband is made from a strong yet flexible cellulose acetate that moulds to the shape of your head for a comfortable fit, made to last for years.
