Hair Clips for Fine Hair: 3 Easy Styling Ideas

My hair is so fine! What can I do to have a good hair day?

Hello my fellow fine-haired Queen - I know how you feel!

I have fine hair, and I've styled myself and thousands of other fine-haired women at my Pop Up Shops. You are in good hands! Hair Clips and barrettes could be just the thing to give your fine hair a boost. They are quick and easy, and QueenMee hair clips are adorned with sparkles too, for a mood as well as a hair boost!

When I launched QueenMee, I struggled to wear the hair clips I was designing as my hair is fine, and I love statement sparkle (this is me in the photo above, so you can see my love of sparkle here!) 

Large hair clips can look very beautiful, but they can be tricky for fine hair, as they tend to be heavier.

Can Hair Clips work in my fine hair without slipping?

As a fine-haired Queen, you're probably familiar with the frustration of not being able to find hair clips that stay put and don't slip! Alligator hair clips like the ones I am wearing above, or any small hair clips that have teeth, can become your good-hair go-to.

Small hair clips tend to be most effective for fine hair, as they are lighter and won't weigh the hair down. 

Teeth have the added benefit of gripping fine strands of your hair to avoid slippage. 

Each of our 3 Easy Hairstyles for Fine hair features a small hair clip, which will hold your hair back securely. Here at QueenMee, we do like to add a touch of sparkle. If you're going to wear a hair clip it may as well be pretty as well as practical!

 

1) Half up Half down bun with a Mini Hair Claw

When you are in a rush but still need your hair to look fabulous, then a half up half down bun is perfect for the Queen with fine hair! 

This is such an easy hairstyle to create and is made even easier when using a Hair Claw.

Hair Claws are the best hair accessory when you're in a rush, as they work with the Messy Bun look, and adding a luxe claw elevates the look in a flash. 

All you have to do to create this hairstyle is gather half of your hair near the top of your head - it can be as high as you like. 

Then start twisting the hair into a mini bun shape at the top of your head and secure with a Hair Claw! It's so simple!

Hair Claws are a great way to create this style, as they allow you to add volume in the hair too - you can push the hair at your crown up slightly with a hair claw. 

We have used our small hair claw in tortoiseshell, which is perfect for a delicate pop of shimmer to your hair! 

Don't forget the idea here is to keep the look casual, and not worry too much about perfection. You're aiming for a relaxed look, and having a few strands loose from the bun will whisper laid-back chic. 

2) Twists on each side with Mini Flower Hair Claws 

This is the perfect hairstyle for the days when you want your hair out of your face- while still looking fabulous!

Mini hair claws are perfect for fine hair as they are light, and don't weigh your hair down, and allow you to create volume. 

You can get very creative with mini hair claws, and the styles here are a couple of suggestions to get you started. Do try out different hairstyles and experiment - they are a lot of fun to play with!

To create the twisted hairstyle we've put together here, take a strand of your hair from the front on one side and start twisting it. 

You then pull the twisted strand to the side or back of your head and secure using your hair claw. Then repeat this process on the other side to perfect your twisted hairstyle.

We have used our mini hair claw pink hair clip flower set which come in both Pink and White. These are the perfect hair claws to unleash your inner Flower Queen.

You could also style both your mini claws on one side of your hair like we have below. Just take 2 small sections on one side and clip them above your ear. It's a pretty hairstyle, which is great if you like an asymmetric look - with your hair loose and flowing on one side, and pinned back on the other. Grecian Goddess vibes aplenty. 

To get even more creative take another set of mini hair claws in pink and repeat on the other side to give you the ultimate floral sparkle to your hair!

 

3) Hair pinned on one side with a small barrette

An asymmetric hairstyle oozes movie-star chic and is also perfect for fine hair!

There are many hair clips that will look lovely with this hairstyle - whether you choose a small hair clip, vintage hair clip or maybe even some Hair Slides. The possibilities are varied, and once you get into this style, you can choose different hair clips to match your outfit.

To create this hairstyle all you need to do is take one section of your hair and smooth it down at the side, then take your favourite clip to add some sparkle to your hair and keep it in place.

We have used our vintage hair clip small leaf it's a good choice for fine hair because it's light, and the small barrette mechanism grips the hair well. Despite the hair clip being small, it's delightfully sparkly. 

Wear with red lips and a twinkle in your eye...It's definitely a good hair day with this hairstyle!

p.s. if you'd like to try some bigger clips, I do have some tricks for your hairstyles for fine hair. How to wear hair barrettes that will stay in place is the question on every fine-haired Queen's lips!

It is simply a matter of back-combing the area first, and then adding some hair spray - before then putting the bigger clip in place.  Whilst these smaller clips in this blog are a great place to start, if there is a large hair clip you'd love to wear, then don't let your fine hair hold you back!
