If you've been having trouble rocking the claw clip trend, this is for you.

Keeping up with the latest trends is always hard&ndash;especially when they seem like they aren't made for you. Currently dominating hair TikTok is the resurgence of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/updo-hair-trend-y2k-claw-clip" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Y2K hair accessories</a>, specifically the claw clip. While the claw clip is cute, if you don't have pin-straight hair, this trend seems impossible to try. From thin hair to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/everything-to-know-about-curl-patterns-how-to-take-care-of-curly-hair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thick, coily hair,</a> here are some ways you can style the claw clip and make this trend work for you.

Using a claw clip on fine hair seems like a challenge. The clip keeps slipping and does the opposite of what it's made to do. Here's a suitable solution for you. It's all about the type of claw clip. Metal clips or clips with rubber linings are the best for holding up thin hair.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/curly-hair-trends-2021-zendaya-rihanna" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Curly-haired</a> girls, this tip is for you. Styling naturally curly hair comes with an endless amount of possibilities. It's just managing it that can be tough. A claw clip is one of the best accessories for a curly mane, here's how to style it. A cute half-up-half-down moment is always a great look. It requires less hair in the clip and still adds a chic look to your thick locks.&nbsp;
For those days when you just want to throw your hair up, try a large clip. Large claw clips work best on thick hair. The longer the claws, the more it holds.&nbsp;

All <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/magazine-deletes-hair-on-lupita-nyong-o-cover-without-authorization" target="_blank" rel="noopener">natural</a>-haired girls know that styling coily hair is a struggle. Finding a quick and easy hairstyle that isn't a wash-and-go (which is still never really quick) can be strenuous. But here's a step-by-step hack, so you can try this cute summer style.
Step 1: Split your hair into three sections. Two parts at the top and one to the middle back of your head. You can style it into a middle or side part&mdash;it's your preference.
Step 2: Slick back the parts you made in your hair into ponytails. Start with the back section of your hair. The goal is to get your hair as flat as possible. Next, slick back the top sections of your hair. These sections are going to be tied around the already made ponytail in the back, making one whole ponytail.&nbsp;
Step 3: You should now have a flat slicked-back ponytail. This is an optional step, but if you want your hair flatter, you can tie your hair down with a scarf. Leave the scarf on for a bit for the best results. After this, it's on to the clip. Twist your hair left out up and then clip. It's best to situate where you want the clip to make sure it is secure and then you're done!
