Every woman at least once wants to tie her loose hair into a beautiful hairstyle. A variety of accessories can help with this. One of them is the banana clip. It got its name because of its similarity with the fruit of the same name and is an elongated “crab” that fastens like a pin. With it, creating a beautiful hairstyle for long and short hair is as easy as shelling pears.
How to make a beautiful hairstyle with a banana clip?
Using a banana clip, you can create an elegant or casual hairstyle in a matter of minutes. Its use is advisable when there is very little time left before going out, but you need to pull your hair back. Let's look at some options for quick and beautiful hairstyles.
Ponytail
The simplest hairstyle option is a ponytail. To create it you need:
- carefully comb and lightly tease the strands at the roots so that the end result looks more voluminous and elegant;
- gather your hair in a bun at the back (adjust the height yourself);
- attach a hairpin to the bun with the teeth firmly secured so that your creation lasts longer. Mount the banana vertically or horizontally at your discretion;
- If desired, you can let out a few front strands to give your hair a casual look.
Advice! A ponytail can be done not only from the back, but also from the side. The hairpin can also be disguised with hair or other decorations such as flowers, rhinestones, etc.
French braid
To create a romantic look in your hair, it is better to use beautiful weaves. The “French braid” is perfect. It starts at the top of the head and can be braided using 3–5 strands. Perform this hairstyle on medium to long hair. To do this you need:
- comb your hair and braid it to your liking. You can do this yourself or ask your mother or friend for help;
- attach the banana vertically on the top of the head so that the braid is sandwiched between its sides;
- make the braid openwork: pull out some strands. Be careful not to let your hair come loose;
- bend the free part of the braid upward and secure the end with bobby pins at the base of the hairpin. The sides of the braid also need to be secured;
- Sprinkle with varnish.
Tourniquet
The “bow” hairstyle can be worn both at home and when going out. Collected curls will not interfere even at the most active party. For this it is important:
- comb your hair for volume on the crown;
- twist them from behind into a tight rope;
- Hook the banana on top with a hairpin so that the ends of the hair are at the top, as in the photo.
Next, you can release a few strands near your face and fix your hair with a special product.
Shell
In the likeness of a plait, another hairstyle is created - a shell. The manufacturing technology is as follows:
- Apply styling mousse to clean, damp hair and dry, adding root volume;
- carefully comb the strands back without spoiling the created volume;
- gather your hair in a ponytail from the back, but unevenly in the center, and moving it 3-4 cm to the side;
- then slowly curl your hair from the bottom up to the crown in a clockwise direction;
- Secure the resulting shell with a banana pin and several bobby pins. Correct the volume at the roots and spray with varnish.
Banana
A festive version of the hairstyle of the same name with a hair clip. Used on long hair. To create, first wrap the strands on a curling iron or curlers. Next, follow a series of simple steps:
- gather your hair at the back at the height where you are planning your tail;
- secure the banana over the curls;
- distribute all loose strands and pin them around the accessory so that it is not visible. Use varnish or gel to fix it. If desired, complement the look with flowers, hairpins with beads, etc.
