Claw clips seemed to be everyone’s go-to hair accessory in the 90’s, and they’re back in style today.


Add a modern twist to the beloved hair accessory while ensuring that your hair stays in place as well, with this claw clip bun hack.


Let me show you how it’s done!

Tools and materials:

  • Claw clip
  • Hair elastic
Low ponytail

1. Make a low ponytail

Start by tying your hair in a low ponytail, securing it with a regular, hair elastic.


2. Begin a topsy tail

Pull the ponytail holder down a bit lower and poke a hole above it.

Then, to start the topsy tail, flip your ponytail through that hole, but don’t pull it all the way through.


Instead, just create a loop with the ponytail when pulling it through the hole.

3. Twist, lift and clip

Now, twist the ends of the ponytail and lay them flat against the back of your head.

Then, lift the loop bun on top of the twisted ends.

Securing hair with claw clip

Finally, secure all the hair with the claw clip.


If you have longer hair, like mine, you will definitely need a large claw clip to hold these layers of hair.

    Looks great, but won't work for those of us who have thin hair. That clip is huge and heavy. Great job though.
