Types of hair clips and their names

Modern designers offer beautiful ladies a huge variety of different accessories that can be used when creating their hairstyles. Some hair clips, types, names are familiar to almost all women, while others, on the contrary, look so bright and unusual that fashionistas don’t even understand how to use them. Thanks to the wide variety of options, every young lady can choose the one that suits her liking.

Twister hair clip

Fashionable twister hair clips appeared in the fashion world in the 1990s and immediately gained unprecedented popularity among owners of long curls. This device is a frame made of thick wire, covered with fabric and, if necessary, supplemented with a foam insert. The material to create such an accessory must be dense and of high quality; in most cases, designers give preference to velvet or natural cotton.

Twister hair clips are extremely convenient and easy to use - in a matter of seconds they allow you to manage and style even the longest and most unruly strands into a neat hairstyle. So, with the help of these devices you can easily create a beautiful and elegant bun, an exquisite “shell” or a high ponytail. In addition, the “twister” can also be used to create festive looks - some models of these accessories are decorated with stones, rhinestones, lace and other similar elements, making them look luxurious and incredibly impressive.

Banana hair clip

The original banana hair clips have been known in the world of accessories for over 30 years. These decorations are an ordinary comb, which is fastened like a pin. Thanks to their unusual appearance, reminiscent of a banana, they got their name. The simplest products are made of wood, plastic or metal and are not decorated with anything.

Bright and catchy designer models, on the contrary, are decorated with flowers, fabric, feathers, rhinestones or stones. Using a banana clip is incredibly easy, however, with smooth curls you may have some difficulties, so before creating your hairstyle, it is recommended to do a little backcombing.

Crab hair clip

A simple and convenient crab is known to most girls. With its help, you can very easily create a beautiful hairstyle, both for and for a special event. At its core, a crab clip is a curl clip that can be used to secure strands or decorate hair. Thus, representatives of the fair sex do all kinds of hairstyles with hairpins for medium hair, decorated with miniature crabs in the front of the head, or they use one large product to collect and fix all the curls in the back of the head.

Heagami hair clip

Stylish heagami hair clips have appeared in the fashion world quite recently, so not all representatives of the fair sex are familiar with them. Meanwhile, those girls who decided to purchase or received this interesting and original thing as a gift can no longer refuse it, because doing a hairstyle with it is incredibly easy and simple.

Heagami consists of two metal plates covered with thick fabric. Depending on what kind of hairstyle the owner of this accessory is going to do, it can be twisted into a figure eight, a ring or a “pretzel”. It’s not at all easy to use - almost no one succeeds the first time, and learning how to create beautiful hairstyles takes a lot of time. However, most fashionistas note that this thing is very interesting, and the results from its use are really worth it.

Hair bobby pins

In everyday life, young ladies and older women use the simplest and most laconic invisible hairpins, which are practically invisible in their hair. They are used to fix thin strands that can get in the way, falling into the eyes, or simply get out, giving the hair an unkempt appearance.

Invisible hair clips do an excellent job - they remove unruly curls, making your hairstyle neat and elegant. Meanwhile, these simple and laconic accessories also have a place in a formal look. To complement a festive hairstyle, gold and silver hair clips decorated with pearls or other precious stones are often used.

Hair clip

Simple hairpins for long hair in the form of a clip, or “crocodile clip,” as some fashionistas call it, very often play the role of an auxiliary tool when creating a hairstyle. Meanwhile, there are also richly decorated options that young ladies wear for a long time. Using this clip, you can fix an unruly strand from the side or secure all the curls at the back.

Hair clip

Some girls are upset because their hair is naturally too thin. Meanwhile, there are special hair clips for volume hair, among which the donut plays a special role. Such a product is completely hidden in the hairstyle - the ends of the tail are wound onto it, which are subsequently wrapped tightly and secured with hairpins. As a result, even the thinnest strands form a voluminous and very pretty bun.

Hair clip "stick"

Japanese hair clips in the form of a stick or knitting needle are extremely popular among young girls due to their ease of use. Today you can use only one such product to create a beautiful and neat hairstyle, whereas in ancient times it was necessary to stick 22 such objects into your hair to complete the look. Sticks can look different - both simple plain models and those richly decorated with hieroglyphs and other decorative elements look good.

Hair comb clip

The comb can be considered the very first accessory for combing and fixing strands. Women have used it since ancient times, although subsequently the appearance and stylistic design of such accessories changed noticeably. Modern designers do not skimp on the rich festive design of such products - they often make them from precious metals and decorate them with natural stones. For example, a gold hair clip in the form of a comb, encrusted with pearls, will be an excellent choice for a young bride.

Hair pin

The classic hairpin, or bun hair clip, is used to create most complex hairstyles. The decorative function is not included in its tasks, since this little thing is used exclusively for fixing the strands and adhering them to each other. Meanwhile, modern designers have also developed richly decorated hairpins - they are decorated at the ends with pearls, rhinestones or flowers, which coquettishly peek out from the collected hairstyle, giving its owner a charming appearance.

Wedding hair clips

As a rule, young ladies pay special attention on the eve of their own wedding. On this day, every girl wants to look amazing, so in most cases she turns to a professional. Often, when decorating the image of a newlywed, French hair clips and other types of accessories are used. All of them are richly decorated with rhinestones, pearls and other stones. In addition, among the wedding items, a flower hair clip stands out clearly, giving the young lady’s image unique femininity, tenderness and charm.

Beautiful hair clips turn even the most common everyday hairstyle into a masterpiece of hairdressing art. They look great on loose curls too. But there are also types of hair clips that help you create a fairly complex hairstyle while remaining invisible. With their help, you can create a hairstyle that will surprise others. These hair clips are simply irreplaceable for long hair. Of course, the division of accessories into functional and decorative is conditional. For example, hair clips such as bobby pins or hairpins can also be decorative if they are made in an original color or decorated with decorative elements.

Invisible hair clips

We won’t mention hairpins and bobby pins, since these types of hair clips are available in every girl’s arsenal. There are interesting hairpins that not everyone knows about:

1. Spiral hairpins. These hairpins differ from ordinary ones in their spiral shape. If your hair is heavy and long, then spiral hairpins will do an excellent job of fixing it.
2. Twister. The twister hair clip is good because it does not deform the hair, as it is made of wire covered with foam rubber and soft fabric. Thanks to this accessory, you can make buns and twist waves in different directions. There are also modifications of this type of hairpins - sophist twist (with holes at the ends that are fixed with a button) and French twist (a metal frame on which the hair is wound and then secured with hairpins).
3. Heagami. A great accessory for bun lovers! Heagami hair clips allow you to create this hairstyle in a matter of minutes. The hair is simply fixed between two connected plates and then twisted onto them. After this, you can form a bun, spiral or any other shape from your own hair.
4. Bumpit. These hair volume clips will eliminate the need to comb the top of your head when creating updos. Two connected headbands with teeth are fixed under the hair, lifting it and increasing volume.
5. Donat. This hairpin is called a “donut”. A soft circle of synthetic fibers is placed over the hair gathered in a ponytail, and then rolled up to the base (to the elastic band). All that remains is to straighten the hair, distributing it along the hairpin, and the bun is ready.

Decorative hair clips

The variety of these accessories is amazing! Thanks to beautiful hairpins, you can style any hairstyle, from everyday to evening:

1. Crest. A very popular and sought-after accessory, the history of its use dates back decades. A comb is a hair clip that allows you to style your hair by fixing individual strands. Plates of different shapes and sizes with teeth are decorated with stones, modeling, flowers, rhinestones and other decorative elements that turn the comb into a stylish accent of the hairstyle.
2. Montara. This is a type of comb. Consists of two toothed plates connected by elastic bands or plastic spirals. The hair is pinned with one comb, and this strand is fixed with the second.

A bun is a charming hairstyle, and is suitable for hair both long and not too long. The bun looks appropriate both in a formal office and at a chic evening reception. This is a universal option, so knowing how to do this styling is useful for any woman. Let's find out how you can quickly make a bun using a donut and other hairpins, and get acquainted with all the intricacies of creating this hairstyle.

General information and photos - how to make a bun of hair, what is the name of this hairstyle

Bun clips are hair securing devices. Hairpins can be as simple and basic as bobby pins or hairpins, or modern and quite complex - and they are called heags or bumpitas.

With the help of a suitable hairpin, you can fix a bun or an elegant shell of hair in any direction, giving your hairstyle elegance and chic. You can make it low, even from the side - there are no restrictions on the scope of your imagination if you have the necessary accessories.

Many of the hairpins remain invisible in an already assembled bun - for example, pins or pins are usually not visible, however, they are able to securely fix the hairstyle, preventing the hair from flying away. Some types of accessories such as bumpita should remain outside, serving at the same time as a decoration for the hairstyle. However, hairpins designed to secure the bun are rarely too elegant or decorative. As a rule, these are usually utilitarian accessories - reliable, stylish, but devoid of excessive “elegantity”. Next, we will consider in detail the types of hairpins suitable for creating a bun.

In the video - how to make a bun using a hairpin:

Spiral pins and invisible pins

In order for the twister to reliably fix the hairstyle, it is necessary that the hair is at least as long as the shoulder blades. On shorter strands, the hairpin does not hold well. It will also be difficult if the hair is cut in a cascade or a ladder - in this case the strands have different lengths and putting them in a bun is problematic.

Sophista twist

This is a variation of a twister, but with special ears at the ends. The accessory should be used in the same way as a twister, but at the end of creating a hairstyle, the ears need to be threaded into each other or tied. Thus, the sophist twist provides more reliable fixation of the beam. Sometimes there is also a button at the ends of this hairpin that is fastened.

A very convenient tool that can be used very easily

Typically, this hairpin is used to create formal and evening hairstyles. It is also indispensable for heavy, thick hair.

French twist

This type of twister is designed to create an elegant shell. The hairpin is a cone-shaped tube made of mesh that securely holds the hair together. To build a shell, you should fix the ends of your hair with a special clip, and then simply wind them onto a mesh pipe. The entire structure is secured at the end with ordinary pins - simple or elegant - at your discretion.

French hair twist is used most often by young girls

Heagami Hairpin

This hairpin came to us from Japan. The name of the accessory is similar to the word “origami” - and this is no coincidence: with the help of heagami, hair is also folded like paper into a certain structure - a bun, a bun, a shell. Heagami are two metal plates with a slightly springy effect. The plates are covered with fabric, so they do not come into direct contact with the hair. There are also versions of heagami made of fur or lace on sale - for special occasions.

Hair heagami can be of different shapes and colors

You need to use this hairpin in this way:

• open the plates, thread the hair between them;
• straighten the strands to make the hairstyle neat;
• stretch the plates to the ends of the hair;
• wind the strands onto the plates;
• Having reached the base of the hair, press the ends of the hairpin, after which it will curl up, forming a bun.

Unlike, say, a spiral, heagami does not add additional volume to the hair. But with the help of this device you can create a stylish, voluminous European bun at the back of your head, ideal for every day.

Spiral Bumpit - how to use this thing

An interesting thing from the fun 60s. The bumpit is a kind of headband that should be placed on the back of the head. On top of the headband, loose hair should be released, which is intended to form a bun. The headband has small teeth with which the device securely fixes the strands.

Forming a beam is very simple, the procedure takes only a few seconds

With the help of this device, hairstyles are no worse than those of the most chic Hollywood beauties - just as elegant and neat.

Bagel device for creating buns

One of the most common options for creating a bun. Foam rubber is more suitable for long hair because it has an impressive volume. And the bun created with the help of a donut will be truly royal - lush, elegant and flawless.

Can be of various shapes and colors, most often in light colors

The hairpin is essentially very simple. This is an ordinary ring made of hard foam rubber - flexible and elastic. The ring serves both as a support for the bun and as a kind of chignon, providing the styling with a perfectly round shape. Note that a donut (or) allows you to create a chic bun even on thin, weak and sparse hair. The bun can be either elegant, strict for evening outings and the office, or fashionably careless for romantic looks and walks.
The hairpin should be used like this:

• comb your hair and make a high ponytail;
• put a donut on the tail - all the way to the base;
• distribute evenly around the strands, remove their ends under a hairpin;
• To ensure that the bun is securely fixed and the ends of the strands do not come out from under the donut, the latter must be pinned with hairpins.

Bagels are usually produced in three color variations - light beige, brown and black. Choose the color that best suits your hair - this way the donut will be reliably camouflaged.

We learned what devices and hairpins you can use to quickly and conveniently form a beautiful bun. As you can see, the choice is quite good - you can use both simple devices like hairpins and “advanced” ones such as heagami and bumpit. It is best to purchase several options for accessories - to create any kind of buns in different variations or to think about being irresistible every day.

These include hairpins decorated with rhinestones, bows, flowers, ribbons, natural materials, multi-colored and plain, elegant and simple. The choice is huge and growing every day. To choose a suitable hairpin, let’s look at their varieties.

Types of hairpins:

1. The oldest and most popular are ridges, a flat plate with teeth, resembling a hand.

2. Automatic hairpins no less popular. These are two rectangular parts, one of which is fixed and has a fastening (latch) for the moving part.

3. Crabs. The name explains the principle of operation. Essentially, these are two combs fastened together by a spring, but the teeth of the hairpin do not tend downward, like a comb, but are curved inward and directed towards each other.

4. Banana clips. A variation of the crab in a more elongated shape.

5. Clamps. The two moving parts are connected to each other by a spring.

6. Click-clack or tick tock(the name comes from the sound the clip makes when fastened and unfastened). A curved metal structure with a thin part in the middle.

7. Invisible These are thin, tightly pressed plates.

8. Hairpins U-shaped thin metal plates.

9. Haegami. The frame of the hairpin is made of wire and covered with fabric. There is a hole in the strip for hair. The hairpin is designed to create buns.

10. Bumpits. The hairpin is a double headband. Useful for creating volume at the back of the head. The hairpin is covered with strands of combed hair on top.

It is clear that you should like the hairpin based on its external characteristics, match the image and occasion for which you are doing the hairstyle, and also suit the hairstyle itself. * For example, to make a bun, you can use a regular elastic band and a pair of hairpins, or you can make it with a hoegami. But you can’t make a bun out of a comb.

But in addition to external data, you need to choose a hair clip so that it does not harm your hair, is easy to use, reliable and holds your hair well.

How to choose a good, correct hair clip?

1. Hairpin size. To choose the right size of hairpin, first decide what hairstyles you will need it for, and how much hair you will pin with it. This way you will understand how large or small the chosen hairpin model should be. Too small may not capture the required amount of hair, and a large one will fall off. * If, for example, you need to pin up several thin strands that interfere with your work, then a click-clack or a small crab will do the job.

2. Material, from which the hairpin is made. It is important to assess the condition of your hair. The hairpin should not be heavy and metal, if you have weak and thin hair - it will constantly fall off and only harm your hair. Such a hairpin will not cope with its functions, which will also irritate you. And if the hair is heavy and thick, and the hairpin is thin and light, it will constantly come unfastened. Metal fasteners damage hair more than plastic or wooden ones.

3. Fastener rigidity. Too tight may cause hair to be pulled out during removal; too loose will cause the hair to come loose.

4. Teeth. If the hairpin has teeth, pay attention to the distance between them. The thinner your hair, the closer together the teeth should be. The thicker the hair, the sparser the teeth should be. This will allow the barrette to attach better.

5. Rounded ends. This applies to all hairpins, and especially hairpins and bobby pins. If the tips look like droplets, that's good. And if there is just an even cut on the edges, then there is a chance that you will scratch your head (Fig. 7, 8).

When choosing a hairpin, you can get confused in the variety of types and their decoration (bows, stones, beads, rhinestones, painting, etc.). It all depends on your taste. But the rules for selecting high-quality hairpins that are safe for hair and skin always remain the same. We hope that our advice will help you make a good choice.

Hair clips with metal fasteners are perhaps the most harmful. This is explained by the fact that as a result of contact of the metal with the strands, the cortex of the hair is scraped off. In addition, such products, as a rule, have quite a lot of sharp edges, and the metal fasteners squeeze the curls quite strongly, which can result in split ends and increased hair fragility.

Therefore, it is best to use hair clips made of plastic, for example, in the shape of a crab. Despite the fact that such products often look less original and beautiful, they are still more practical, convenient, and most importantly, safe for hair health.

Invisible

Bobby pins are the most common and popular hair clips. They are really very convenient, especially if you need to create a hairstyle with buns, all kinds of braids, etc. But at the same time, such products can seriously injure not only the hair, but also the scalp. Of course, not everyone is able to completely abandon the use of invisible people, and this is not necessary. The main thing is that they are of high quality, smooth, without any notches on the surface (which, by the way, is often found in Chinese products) and with rounded ends. All this will protect your hair from unwanted damage.

Hairpins

It’s a stretch to call this option for hair accessories a full-fledged hair clip. However, hairpins are often used to create a wide variety of hairstyles. The requirements for such products are the same as for good invisible ones. First of all, you should not buy cheap hairpins for 15-20 rubles per package, otherwise you can not only significantly damage your hair, but also get more serious health problems, for example, allergic reactions.

Hair clips with a special clasp or magnet

Such accessories are absolutely safe for hair, and they are also very easy and convenient to use. The main thing is that hairpins with a special magnet or a clasp clip are not made of metal, but of softer materials such as plastic, silicone, etc.

In addition, you can decorate your hair with various wooden, bone, plastic or stone combs without sharp edges or other jagged edges, which are guaranteed not to harm the health of your hair.

For thousands of years, women have been drawing attention to their hair with various ornaments. Loose hair flowing over your shoulders, what could be more beautiful? Only hair decorated with an elegant accessory. It helps in creating your hairstyle and completes your look.
Do not neglect this wonderful opportunity - to decorate your hair and attract caring glances, especially since now there is a great variety of accessories.

You can find the accessories presented in this material in the Loksa.Rf store:

1. Flowers for hair

Today, flowers are the most popular hair decoration. What kind of flowers you won’t find on store shelves! These include elegant orchids, lush peonies, delicate daisies, luxurious roses and many, many others.

Modern technologies make it possible to produce flowers so similar to real ones that sometimes they can only be identified by touch. Although recently a new technology has appeared that gives the petals a completely realistic surface. This technology is called “Real Touch”, flowers look and feel almost indistinguishable from real ones. Roses look especially luxurious. Their petals are cool and velvety and so pleasant to touch!

Flowers can be attached either to a hairpin or clip, or to a bobby pin, crab or elastic band. Everything is your choice. You can make a beautiful ponytail with a large flower, or capture a small strand with an invisible strand with a small neat inflorescence.

Flowers can create both the image of a fatal beauty and a romantic and gentle image.

Recently, headbands completely decorated with flowers have become very popular. This is the trend of 2013. Beauties who choose such a summer accessory look the most fashionable and relevant.

2. Automatic hairpins

Let's move on from flowers to more traditional decorations, such as automatic hairpins. They perfectly hold strands of any thickness due to convenient fastening. Pay attention to the design of the hairpins: the most fashionable now are plastic hairpins with geometric patterns and unobtrusive rhinestone or metal trim. Also relevant are embossed designs, hairpins with small bows and tartan style.

3. “Click clack” hairpins

Also among hairpins, clips in the “Click Clack” style have proven themselves very well. These little metal things are a big help in keeping unruly strands in check. Now they produce clips of various colors, shapes and textures, with and without decorations. Click clack is especially often used for children's hairstyles, because they are so comfortable, bright and cheerful!

4. Invisible

Decorative bobby pins: despite their name, they do not always aim to remain invisible. Often, bobby pins are equipped with very cute decorations. If you want to look sophisticated and elegant, smooth out unruly strands and secure them with one or two bobby pins with a small, unobtrusive decoration.

5. Hair ties

I wouldn’t want to lose sight of one of the most popular accessories – a hair tie. The elastic band should not only be dense enough, but also made of a soft material that glides well through the hair. And the design of the elastic should go well with the clothes.

However, do not forget that a hair tie is one of the decorations that can create a truly stunning look! Choose from a variety of prints to match your outfit, or even better if you purchase an embellished elastic band. Jewelry can be made of plastic or metal, rhinestones, beads, ribbons and much more. Think about what image you want to create? Luxurious and sophisticated? Then an elegant metal decoration with rhinestones on a black velvet elastic band would be a good choice.

It’s easy to create a youthful and romantic look using bright and stylish plastic jewelry. Plastic is one of the latest trends. Feel free to choose jewelry using this material.

Do you want to look discreet but elegant? Choose an elastic band with an elegant print, such as polka dots.

5. Crab clips

Let's think about crab hairpins. These wonderful devices not only hold the strands perfectly, but with their help you can create very stylish hairstyles.

Alternatively, you can curl your hair using modern curlers, such as Locks, and then use one large crab to grab the curls from the sides and secure them at the back of your head. This way you get a luxurious hairstyle in just one step. Video instructions on how to curl your hair with Locks - http://youtu.be/M1vOfor5WeE

One cannot help but remember headbands, one of the most beloved and revered hair accessories. Headbands remove bangs from the forehead, structure the hairstyle, or simply serve as a very attractive decoration. These accessories are very popular with both adults and little princesses, because it’s so convenient to just put on a headband and look like the first beauty!

We call on all girls: do not choose only black simple headbands!
