Layered hair can be both stylish and versatile, but sometimes it can be tricky to style with a claw clip. Follow these steps to achieve a chic and secure look using a claw clip, perfect for layered hair:

Step 1: Gather Your Hair

Start by gathering all your hair at the base of your head. Use your hands to smooth it down, ensuring that all layers are included. This will help you manage your layers and keep them together as you style.

Step 2: Tie a Low Ponytail

Using a hairband, tie all your hair into a low ponytail. Position the ponytail at the nape of your neck. Make sure it's tight enough to hold the hair but not too tight, as you'll need to loosen it in the next step.

Step 3: Loosen the Ponytail

Gently pull the elastic band down a bit to loosen the ponytail. This will create some slack, making it easier to create a hole above the ponytail in the following step.

Step 4: Create a Hole Above the Ponytail

Using your fingers, carefully pull apart the hair just above the elastic band to create a small hole. This hole will be used to flip the ponytail through, creating a neat twist.

Step 5: Flip the Ponytail Through the Hole

Keep the hole open with your fingers and pull the ponytail through it. Gently pull it all the way through so that the ponytail now sits against the back of your head. This creates a stylish twist and helps to secure the layers.

Step 6: Secure with a Claw Clip

Take your claw clip and clasp it over the twisted ponytail, securing it against your head. Ensure the clip is gripping the hair to keep it in place. Adjust the clip as needed to ensure it holds all layers securely.

Final Adjustments

Once the clip is in place, adjust any loose strands or layers that may have escaped. You can use a bit of hairspray to set the style and keep it in place throughout the day.

By following these steps, you can easily use a claw clip to style your layered hair, achieving a secure and elegant look. Whether you're going for a casual day out or a more polished appearance, this method will help you manage your layers and keep your hairstyle in place.
