The Hair Clip, Three Ways

A single flower clip does a surprising amount of work. Here are three ways to wear one, from a five-second morning to a dressed-up evening.

1 · The half-up

Gather the top half of your hair, twist loosely, and clip at the crown. The clip sits like a small bloom where everyone can see it — the easiest lift for a plain day.

2 · The twist

Sweep one side back from the temple, give it a half-twist, and pin the clip just behind your ear. Asymmetric, a little undone, very French.

3 · The chignon

Coil your hair into a low knot and anchor the clip where the twist meets the head. It dresses a bun for a wedding, a dinner, an evening out.

One clip, three moods — flat hair to finished in seconds.

Our clips come as a small garden — buttercup, peony, dahlia, thistle and iris. Meet the clips →
