MESSY BUN CLAW CLIP HAIR TUTORIAL

If you’re new to using claw clips for messy buns, here are some extra pointers that helped me perfect this look. Choosing the right size of claw clip is essential — I found that medium to large clips work best to hold most hair types securely without slipping. Before clipping, lightly tousle your hair with your fingers to add volume and texture; this prevents the bun from looking too tight or flat. If your hair is especially smooth or silky, you might want to use a bit of texturizing spray or dry shampoo to create grip. Start by gathering your hair as if making a ponytail, then twist it loosely and secure it with the claw clip. Don’t worry about making it perfect — the charm of this style is its relaxed, undone vibe. Let some strands fall naturally around your face to soften the look. For added style, you can pull out a few pieces near your neck or ears, or gently tug at the bun to create a fuller shape. This casual updo works for various occasions, from casual outings to more polished events when paired with your favorite accessories. Finally, practice makes perfect! It might take a few tries to find the right twisting motion and clip placement that feels comfortable and secure for you. I’ve found that once you get the hang of it, this messy claw clip bun becomes your go-to hairstyle for busy mornings or quick touch-ups during the day.
