Secure your hair with a jaw clip to save your time and your hairstyle. Although it only takes seconds to try any of these styles, your hair will look great and stay out of your face all day.
Steps
Put up a French Twist
-
1Brush your hair. Get rid of any knots or tangles first, or the clip may get stuck. This is especially important for long hair. Once your hair is tangle-free, continue to the steps below to create a voluminous head of hair with a tasteful spray covering the clip.[1]
-
2Place the palms of your hands underneath your hair. Place one hand on either side of your head.Advertisement
-
3Gather all of your hair. Keep your hands in this position, with your palms upward and your thumbs on top of the gathered hair.
-
4Twist the hair as your raise it up against the back of your head. This can be a quarter- or half-twist for thin hair in a loose style, or several full twists for thick hair in a tight style.
-
5Secure the twist. Secure the bundle of hair with the jaw clip, letting the ends cascade over it.
- If you want a larger spray of hair, hold the ends and open the clip slightly with your other hand. Gently pull your hair upward, then close the clip again.[2] Repeat until satisfied.
Ponytail Twist
-
1Form a ponytail. Bring your hair back into a comfortable ponytail. Secure with a hairband.[3]
-
2Twist the ponytail into a coil. Point the ponytail at the ceiling and twist it into a tidy coil, starting from the base.[4]
-
3Tuck the tip under the base. Bring the ponytail tip back down and tuck it under the base of the twist.
- If you have long hair, you may need to fold and tuck your hair several times as you twist.[5]
-
4Secure in a jaw clip. Secure the whole thing in a jaw clip.[6]
Quick Jaw Clip Style
-
1Pull your hair back. For a quick, basic style, take the hair near your face on both sides, one in each hand. Bring this hair all the way to the back of your head.[7]
-
2Lift and secure. Lift your hair slightly to increase volume, and secure with the jaw clip. The handle of the jaw clip should point directly away from your head.[8]
Using Two Clips
-
1Secure the back of your head. Place the first claw clip against the back of your head, securing just the hair that grows in that area.
-
2Gather the rest of your hair below the first clip. Gather the rest of your hair and clip it with the second clip, beneath the first one.[9]
Community Q&A

QuestionCan anyone describe what the hairstyle looks like from the front?
Community AnswerThe front of your hair will look like you put it in a tight pony tail. It will not look very different because of the twist.
