Here are four fresh ways to wear your claw clip that will take your hair game to the next level: 

1. The French Twist 2.0

A sleek and effortless take on the classic Parisian hairstyle. A lifesaver on busy days when you need a look that screams “put together” with minimal effort.

How to Get the Look:

Step 1: Gather your hair at the nape of your neck and twist it upwards, tucking the ends neatly.

Step 2: Secure the twist with Mermade’s Claw Clip in Pink, placed near the base for a snug hold.

Step 3: Finish with a spritz of light hairspray to keep everything in place all day long.

2. Half Up, Half Down

For those moments when you can’t decide whether to wear your hair up or down, the half up, half down style is the perfect in between. It’s stylish, functional, and incredibly easy to pull off.

How to Get the Look:

Step 1: Section off the top half of your hair and gather it at the crown.

Step 2: Secure with Mermade’s Claw Clip in Pink to add a pop of colour.

Step 3: Leave the bottom half natural, or create soft waves with the Double Waver for a touch of texture.

3. The Claw Clip Pony tail

Effortless and sleek, the claw clip ponytail is a game changer for anyone looking to achieve a stylish look without the hassle. Perfect for both straight haired beauties and wavy haired babes, this look creates a ‘polished’ or ‘messy’ ponytail without the dreaded kinks.

How to Get the Look:

Step 1: Start with straight hair or add some texture with the Mermade Pro Waver to create soft, beachy waves or voluminous curls.

Step 2: Sweep all of your hair back into a ponytail at the height that feels most comfortable, smoothing out any bump along the way with the Styling Brush. Or leaving the bumps if you're wanting to achieve an ‘undone’ look.

Step 3: Twist the pony tail and hold upwards, then secure with Mermade's Clear 90's Claw Clip at the base. Allowing the rest of the hair to flow over the clip.

4. The Messy High Twist

Need a quick go to for busy mornings? Get the Pamela Anderson messy high twist that creates a 90’s chic, undone look.

How to Get the Look:

Step 1: Gather your hair into a high ponytail and loosely twist it upward.

Step 2: Secure the twist with the Claw Clip in Clear, letting strands fall naturally

Step 3: Add texture with a spritz of dry shampoo.
