The stacked barrette look
Stacked bobby pins have been a trend since the ‘80s and ‘90s, but resin barrettes like these ones from Aplipop put a polished twist on the style. Whether you stack your barrettes on one side or two, the pop of color gives neutral and monochromatic office looks the perfect amount of personality. The best part is this trend works for any hair length or texture: Just imagine how cute a pastel barrette stack would be on a curly pixie cut. Too cute!
The french girl half updo
Bouffant hair, bedroom hair, whatever this look is called—the ‘60s French girl vibes are impeccable. The key to this style is ever-so-gentle backcombing at the crown and a few face-framing layers left free around the hairline.
Here’s how to backcomb without doing damage:
- Start by applying a texturizing spray or volume powder for a natural lift.
- Then use a fine tooth comb to backcomb once or twice in single strokes (no back and forth teasing motions).
We love a claw clip for this style, but you could also use a tortoise shell barrette or classic black ribbon.
The headband tiara
Your curls deserve a crown, and outside of an actual diamond tiara, we can think of no better way to convey that sentiment than with an aptly placed headband. You can use any size headband—from super slim to ultra-thick—for this style and it comes together in seconds. It’s lazy-girl hair for royals.
The model ponytail
The deep side-part ponytail is not a new hairstyle, but models put it back on the map in 2019 and the trend is still going strong. Though it looks complicated, it’s really just a high ponytail with a deep side-part and a thick section of hair (kind of like a long bang) wrapped around the hairline and secured at the nape of the neck. You can check out a YouTube tutorial inspired by the exact high fashion hairstyle that went viral here.
To achieve the look, you’ll need a:
- pintail comb
- boar bristle brush, bobby pins
- hair tie
And remember: This look isn’t limited to long hair! You can do the deep parted side-swoop with or without the ponytail and it can be pinned closer to the earline if you have shorter hair.
The classic claw twist
Timeless and simple, the claw twist has joined the hair echelons of the chignon and the top knot. The most important part of making this style work for you is choosing the right clip. It should be wide enough to comfortably wrap around all of your hair without feeling loose or like it’s pulling on your strands. Simply pull your hair back, twist it upward, tuck lengths under the twist, and secure with a claw. Twist accompli!
