One of the classic styles with a banana clip is to pull back all the hair and secure it with the clip. The hair looks like a ponytail, but more like a horse’s mane. It gives more volume and flair to the classic ponytail.
2. French Twist:
The French twist is another hairstyle that you can easily try using a banana clip. First, pull the hair to make a loose ponytail and twirl it in a clockwise direction. Pull the ponytail up in a manner that the tip of the hair is facing upward. Next fold over the ponytail into half and push in the ends of the hair. Turn round the folded ponytail in one way to form a tight twist. Secure this with bobby pins, now slide the banana clip in from the bottom and secure it in place.
3. Classic Updo:
Pull the hair back and hold it at the back of your head with your hand or use pins. Slide the banana clip from the bottom and lock the clip at the top. In this hairstyle, you can pull the hair up, back, and allow it to fall naturally. This classic banana clip updo suits medium to long hair that is wavy or curly.
4. Modern Banana Updo:
It is a modern updo, where you can use the clip to form a pile of curls on the crown of the head. You will be able to style your curls like a Rihanna-style fauxhawk.
- Open the clip wide and gather the hair tightly at the top.
- Use a comb to ensure your hair is neat. Hold the hair in one place with one hand and pile the curls on top. With the other hand, place the clip.
- The turning point of the clip should be at the zenith of the skull. Ensure the clip does not point out.
- Now arrange the curls around the clip and cover it. You can also use bobby pins to secure the curls in place.
5. Banana Braid:
Tie a loose French braid starting from the peak of the skull to the nape of the neck. Leave the tail of the braid loose. Now insert the clip from down in such a way that the end of the braid falls over the hinge and sticks out of the clip. Close the banana clip, after lifting the braid a little. Loosen the hair at the top a bit to ensure that the clip is not visible.
6. Banana Clip Bun:
Use a small banana clip to gather your hair in a ponytail. Now rather than rolling the hair around into a bun, fan the hair over the banana clip in a 360-degree arrangement. Then, roll sections of hair away from the center of the ponytail and tuck it near the base of the clip with the help of bobby pins, to form a doughnut like bun.
7. Side Ponytail:
With all the hair in a neat bunch on one shoulder, the side ponytail looks chic. Pull all the hair onto one side. Comb it so that it looks neat and use a banana clip to secure the hair tightly. Use a fancy clip for this style. The accessory will add style and glamour to the hairdo.
