A simple twist on a classic ponytail. Use silk ties to section off your pony and gently tug each piece for that bubble effect.

4. Double Bun for Short Hair

Two buns are better than one! Split the top half of your hair and twist each section into a mini bun, then secure both buns together with a scrunchie. This look helps add the appearance of fullness, making it a go-to for short or fine hair.

5. Hat with Clip

Difficulty: Medium
Best for: Medium to long hair
Time: 1 minute
Featured Product: Dad Hat + Refined Claw Clip

The perfect pairing for hot, sunny days. Toss on your hat, pull a bit of hair through the loop and twist your hair into a french twist. This hairstyle keeps your hair off your neck and gives that effortless, cool-girl vibe.

6. Sleek Half Up Bun

Difficulty: Easy
Best for: Long + short hair
Time: 2 minutes
Featured Product: Square Clip
🎥 Watch the Reel

This is one of my favourite hairstyles - it’s simple, polished, and suits all hair types. Start by pulling the top half of your hair into a ponytail. On the last loop of your hair tie, don’t pull it all the way through - this creates a soft bun. Then, secure it with a claw clip to finish it off. Perfect for the office, date night, or anytime you want to feel effortlessly put together.

7. Messy Half Up Hairstyle

Difficulty: Medium
Best for: Medium-long hair
Time: 1 minute
Featured Product: Triangle Clip
🎥 Watch the Reel

This one’s a little tricky to explain but pretty easy once you see it. It’s a casual, effortless half up hairstyle that you loosely clip in place - no need to be precise. Perfect for second-day hair, or when you want that effortless, undone look.

8. Twisted Half Up Hairstyle

Difficulty: Easy
Best for: long + short hair
Time: 1 minute
Featured Product: Triangle Clip
🎥 Watch the Reel

A super easy go-to when you want to feel put together. Gather the top section of your hair, twist it around, and secure with a clip. It’s quick, polished, and works with pretty much any outfit or occasion.

9. Bun with Hidden Clip

Difficulty: Medium
Best for: long hair
Time: 3 minutes
Featured Product: Silk Hair Ties + Claw Clip
🎥 Watch the Reel

Would you believe there’s a clip hidden in the bun? Start with a ponytail, then place the claw clip in front of the hair tie. Flip your ponytail up and over the clip, then twist the ends around to form a bun and secure in place. It’s sleek, secure, and feels a little more elevated than your everyday bun.
