How to use a claw clip on curly hair

Anyone who has curly hair knows that the hunt for hair accessories that hold everything together is a daunting task. You see, the key here is not to fence your hair into submission but rather, to gently hold curls in place without crushing its texture. And here’s where claw clips come in. Their wide coils make for a handy tool, and you’ll be able to create a wide array of hairstyles—from a high half-up hairdo to the classic French twist. If you are looking to let your curls free, gather your hair for a high ponytail as you normally would and replace the hair elastic with a claw clip for a freer interpretation of the hairstyle. A light touch of hair mousse and you are good to go.
