3 Banana Clip Styles You Can Master Easily (Even with Thick Curly Hair)

Watch out ladies, the banana hair clip is back in a whole new way. Banana Clips were incredibly popular for waterfall hairstyles in the 80’s, now, one of the most popular hair accessories is finally back, and in a whole new way. 

The best part is, this new and improved stretch version works even better for thick, curly natural hair as well as it does thin, sleek fine hair. 

Which is great, because traditionally, these banana clip accessories have only been able to produce a cascading or waterfall ponytail, at most. Thick manes haven't quite had the luxury simply because that's now how thick curly hair works.

Versatility Matters

You have had the longest day at the office and are heading to an early dinner date breathless with anticipation. Perhaps you are heading from a meeting straight to the gym to work off some carbs. 

The only issue here? More than likely, you will not have enough time to change your hairstyle. 

You are also probably tired of wearing the same all-purpose ponytail with a slight variation. HairZing provides amazing solutions to this predicament. After adding their accessories to seemingly simple hairstyles, you will receive compliment after compliment. After all, you are a professional, yet fashion forward diva who loves, and deserves, her options.

Lucky for you, HairZing is here with gorgeous, comfortable new stretch banana clips to solve your hair woes and change your look. 

Here are three beautiful banana clip styles you can easily master, appropriate for your transition between any functions.

1. Hair Poof - Elegant & Practical 

This chic, simply re-created hairdo is the epitome of a beautiful, versatile hairstyle. The hair gathered and showcased neatly at the crown of the head is stylishly stately, but professional at the same time. 

With your ravishing HairZing banana clip featured at the front, you will be prepared to handle any daily office antics, accompanied by a mile long run afterwards, with ease. Here are the steps to recreating this versatile, classy updo:

1. Comb/brush your hair and gather it as though you are making a ponytail. (You may decide to use a light, nourishing, organic hair gel or hair lotion to smooth down and help gather flyaway strands of hair, but this step is not necessary.)
2. Roll and tuck the end of your hair until you have reached the top of your head and it resembles a bun.
3. Take your HairZing banana clip and place it horizontally on the crown of your head with the bun resting in the middle. Secure the combs so that the bun stays still. (The front of the HairZing banana clip should be showcased in front of the bun. The back of the banana clip should be behind the bun.)
4. Use a styling gel or edge control to swoop and style your edges. (optional)

Creating a bun has always been simple and painless. With the help of HairZing’s heavy-duty (but lightweight!) banana clips, this hairstyle is taken from a simple, plain bun to an elegant poof with featured versatility. 

You will not have to worry about your bun slipping and falling or having to use other hair accessories that are uncomfortable. You will have this beautiful banana clip hairstyle mastered in no time!

2. Bantu Knots - Bold & Beautiful

This stately, traditional African hairstyle has been turning heads and earning admiration for over a century. Derived from ethnic groups within southern Africa, these mini buns have been recreated time and time again, becoming a statement in hair couture. 

Head straight from your weekend brunch to yoga class without missing a beat. Recreate this daring, versatile hairstyle while using the one of a kind stretch banana clip with the following steps:

1. Comb/brush your hair and gather it vertically on your head as though you are making a mohawk. (You may decide to use a light, nourishing, organic hair gel or hair lotion to smooth down and help gather flyaway strands of hair, but this step is not necessary.)
2. Start at the front, or back, of your head, and part your hair horizontally into 4 or 5 sections until you reach the other side.
3. Twist each of the 4 or 5 sections into small, mini buns and tuck the end of the bun within itself.
4. Take a HairZing banana clip and insert one side of the banana clip vertically at the front of your head so that the first two or three Bantu knots are in the middle. Take the side of the clip and insert it vertically at the back of your head, pushing the teeth under the bantu knots and toward each other, so that the remaining Bantu knots are showcased in the middle as well. Be sure not to interlock the teeth of the banana clip, or this will cause damage.
5. Use a styling gel or edge control to swoop and style your edges. (optional)

Bantu Knots are making their way back to the forefront of fashion yet again. Bantu knots are an excellent, protective banana clip style for natural hair. Using HairZing’s stunning banana hair clips, you can turn this bold hairstyle into your own charming masterpiece. 

The best part? Hairzing guarantees the stretch banana clip will hold this style all day and will not need adjusting. 

You will not have to worry about maintaining your hairstyle while trying to conquer the world. Normal, unreliable plastic clips will not work well for natural hair. If you can actually get the plastic clip on without breaking it, it will most likely be uncomfortable and will require adjustments and re-styling throughout the day. This beautiful banana clip hairstyle can be easily mastered by any natural-haired diva. 

3. Faux Hawk - Fierce & Ready

Since the late 1930s, different variations of the eccentric and sporty Mohawk hairstyle have been spotted as a creative form of expression through hair. 

Nowadays, you can rock this unique hairdo from the boardroom to the jazz lounge with a flirty flair. Make your own versatile Fawk Hawk featuring your HairZing banana clip using the following easy steps: 

1. Comb/brush your hair and gather it vertically on your head. (You may decide to use a light, nourishing, organic hair gel or hair lotion to smooth down and help gather flyaway strands of hair, but this step is not necessary.)
2. Use your HairZing banana clip to secure your hair in the middle of it. 
3. Fan and feather your hair as desired. (Optional: Use a sculpting gel for re-creating a coil-out mohawk. If you want to showcase defined curls, use a sculpting gel to shape your curls however you desire. For more of a twist-out, use a crème serum.) 

With HairZing’s beautiful banana hair clip, just as comfortable as it is fashion-forward, you can have this voguish hairstyle adorn your crown with a stylish grace. 

You will not have to worry about having to groom flyaway pieces of hair throughout the day, and you can rest assured that your hair is not under any stress or strain.

With these dynamically different, but equally beautiful and functional hairstyles, you can conquer your everyday tasks, which are already arduous on their own, without having to fuss with your hair in the process.
