Here’s how to make thin and fine hair like mine look thick and full. It just takes a hair tie and a claw clip for a casual, flattering updo.

Keep cool thtis summer by picking your hair up with a claw clip. This pack comes with multiple clips that Amazon reviewers swear by!


Tools and materials:

Tying ponytail

1. Ponytail

Draw all your hair back into a ponytail. Don’t pull it too tight on top.

Securing hair

Secure it with a hair tie.

Thin ponytail

If your hair is like mine, your ponytail might look a bit thin and scraggy, but don’t worry! We’re not finished yet.

Pulling hair up

2. Pull up

Pull the top of the ponytail behind the tie up and forwards, to create more volume in the front.

Adding claw clip

3. Claw clip

Use a claw clip to fasten the tail of the ponytail to your head while continuing to push your hair up and forwards.

Loosening hair

4. Loosen up

Fan out the top of the loop. Aim for a slightly messy look.

    Absolutely beautiful. I have exceptionally thin hair, long, but 'sparse', and have a difficult time keeping even small clips on my head. 😒 However, I will try your technique to see if it works in my case. Thanks for posting. BTW you have gorgeous hair!
