Do you remember the banana clip from the 80's?


Before the popular claw clip and the butterfly clips from the 90s' there was the beloved banana clip. A banana clip is a concave U-shaped accessory with two plastic sides that come together in the middle with stretchy teeth that hold the hair in place. To use a banana clip for a ponytail, you merely unhinge one end of the clip, the whole thing takes about thirty seconds.


Well the banana clip is making it's comeback so I thought it would be great to do a tutorial.

Snap the clip back closed



What do you think? Is the banana clip making a come back? Do you want it to? Let me know your thoughts!

    if you do the banana clip right you will never see the top or bottom of it. That is a large part as to why some women flip their hair over
