Crab is a popular hair clip

The crab hairpin is a popular hair accessory that can be used to make both the simplest and the most original holiday hairstyle. This simple design is versatile and is equally suitable for both a strict business woman or a teacher, and a teenage girl, and an ordinary housewife.

Until recently, the crab was an attribute of an exclusively children's cosmetic bag.

However, today it has become a real trend among fashionistas around the world.

The indisputable advantages of a hair clip include:

• simplicity and ease of use;
• a huge variety, among which you can find an option for every occasion, taste and wealth;
• versatility, allowing you to use the clamp both "on the way out" and at home.

The variety of crabs knows no boundaries. Their main differences from each other relate to:

• Material of manufacture. The most common are metal and plastic products. The former are distinguished by their massiveness and significant weight, and are used for beautiful and festive styling. The second - the simplest and most affordable, are great for daily use.

• Size. Clips can be very small - these are used for decorating hairstyles and can only fix individual small strands. Medium - suitable for medium strands. And large - for thick long curls.

• Decoration and decoration with decorative elements. It all depends on the purpose of the crab. Metallic ones, for example, are often decorated with rhinestones and stones, laying out all kinds of patterns from them.Plastic ones most often differ in color.

As wide as the range of hair clips is, so is their application in different conditions and for different purposes. With their help, you can quickly collect curls so that they do not interfere with household chores or make a chic styling.

For quick home hairstyles, the most common plastic crabs are suitable. The easiest way to fix the curls is to collect them in a bun, twist them in one direction and pinch them with a hair clip. Alternatively, instead of twisting, you can use weaving - braid the strands into a braid, lift it up and pull it off with a crab.

For more originality, you can use more than one piece of jewelry.

You can also divide the curls into two equal parts and, tying from the back with a knot, secure with an accessory turned horizontally. Leaving the ends of the strands hanging down, you can stop there, or you can continue to show your imagination and curl them with a curling iron or braid them into several thin braids.

To make a styling for an evening out, it is enough to take a beautiful accessory with a decor of fabric flowers and asymmetrically fix it on loose curls.

A bunch of smooth strands fixed with a metal crab with crystals or stones will also look great.

This accessory can be used not only for fixing hair, but also as a beautiful decoration. So, for decorating Afro-braids and dreadlocks, small crabs of various colors are perfect.

Often hairstyles with small crabs are done for little girls. They are also in demand among teenage girls who want to stand out, show their individuality.

In addition to simple and familiar forms, hair clips can take the most amazing and unusual shapes.

For example, one of the original Subastus hairpins has a spiral shape and helps to create numerous creative styles of different styles and types.

The homeland of this unusual hair clip is France, a country that is a trendsetter not only in clothing, but also in the use of stylish additions to it.

Any woman will be transformed with an exclusive crab from the famous elite French brand Alexandre de Paris in the form of a mother-of-pearl flower, decorated with a scattering of Swarovski crystals.

Or no less stylish - crab hairpins from Janeke - an Italian manufacturer of all kinds of accessories for curls.

To style and decorate the strands, it is not necessary to look for unusual models of hairpins and purchase expensive branded accessories.

You can make a stylish and original crab with your own hands, decorating it with flowers from ribbons using the kanzashi (kanzashi) technique that came from Japan. It will be a great addition to a light romantic look and will definitely draw attention to its owner.

A hairpin made of foamiran, a foamy decorative material that can be easily processed, will also help to create a unique image. From it you can create whatever your heart desires: from flowers to futuristic figures and patterns.

Another way to radically change your hairstyle with the same crab hair clip is to use a model with false hair. In this case, the artificial "tail" should be matched to your own strands. By attaching this, you can amaze friends and acquaintances in a completely new way and with your thickened and regrown curls.

So that your favorite crab does not lose its appearance (mainly for models with kanzashi ornaments and foamiran decor), they must be properly stored.

Here, every fashionista decides for herself how convenient it is to store, ideas can be very diverse: from simple boxes and drawers to special decorative buckets and organizers for hair decorations.
