If you’re torn between running letting your curls run wild or taming them, this twist-back curly lob is one of the best butterfly clip hairstyles that can give you the best of both worlds.
Just simply leave your curls loud and bouncy as they are but take a few thin sections at the front, twist them, and use a butterfly clip to pin them back.
3. Accessorized Braided Hairstyle
Go the chic and fancy schmancy way and use your butterfly clips to elevate your braided hairstyle. You can do this by braiding your hair from the crown to the ends and strategically placing clips all over the braided areas.

Just take a look at how the small and brightly colored clips transformed the fun and playful high pigtails into a charming and picturesque hairstyle.
5. Bubble Pigtails
For a fun, flirty, and cool vibe, this bubble ponytail is one of the butterfly clip hairstyles that you should try. You can form the bubble-like shape by gently tugging at the sides of each section. Leave a few strands to achieve that much-needed face-framing effect.
6. Multiple Clips on Mermaid Hair
Make your mermaid hair look extra whimsical with a few multi-colored butterfly clips. For best results, place the clips at the back, so you can get to keep your hair in place and show off your beautiful hair color and gorgeous waves at the same time.
7. Loose and Messy Orange Updo
If you think orange hair is as eye-catching as it can get, think again. You can make this attention-grabbing hairstyle the apple of everyone’s eye by adding realistic-looking butterfly clips.
8. Box Braids with Curly Ends
Box braids and curls are a winning combination for a high-spirited little girl, but butterfly clips can make this hairstyle extra playful. Since there are already many things going on in this look, use just a few clips and stick to only two colors.
9. Braids and Waves on a Bridal Half-do
Butterfly clips and floral accessories can turn a simple bridal hairstyle into a fabulous one. For a romantic and whimsical look, we suggest going for pastel or gold-colored clips instead of the bright plastic ones.
10. Low Bun
A large butterfly clip is the only thing you need to instantly transform a simple updo into an elegant hairstyle. With this simple look, you don’t need styling mousse and a whole lot of hairpins. The butterfly clip can hold the bun in place in the most fabulous way possible.
11. High-contrast Blonde Peekabo Highlights
There’s no better way to show off your head-turning peekaboo highlights than pinning back your hair. But instead of using the usual hairclips, go for simple and small butterfly clips to take your look to a whole new level.
You can make this cute look a bit edgier by adding wispy full bangs that sits just right above your eyebrows, so they will frame your face beautifully.
12. Pigtail Buns
Afro buns already look striking, but you can make them even more stunning by adding butterfly clips. Opt for clips in brighter shades to make them stand out and add some oomph to the fuzzy buns.
13. High Cornrow Ponytail
Give the classic cornrow ponytail a playful twist by adding a few butterfly clips to them. Not only will the clips add a pop of color to this protective hairstyle, but they will also give it a fun retro vibe.
14. Top Half Ponytail + Bubble Braids
Show off your curls and get them under control at the same time with this unique butterfly clip hairstyle. Gather the upper half of your hair and tie them into a top ponytail then divide them equally and distribute them to the sides to achieve this voluminous look.
On the other hand, tie the front strands into a bubble ponytail for a unique take on face-framing strands, and finish them off with butterfly clips for a fun touch.
15. Pinned Back Bangs
A bad hair day doesn’t have to be so bad, and that’s because butterfly clips are here to your rescue. A pinned-back hair is the go-to hairstyle for hiding unwanted bangs. For a snazzy look, use butterfly clips instead of regular clips.
16. Afro Bun
An afro bun is the simplest and easiest way to keep your coils under control, but it doesn’t have to look plain and boring. Add a few butterfly clips into your bun to give it a nifty and chic update.
17. Crown Braid
With a crown braid, any little girl can surely feel like a princess. But for a feisty young woman, you need to give this hairstyle a fun and quirky twist, and adding butterfly clips around the crown is the best way to do that.
While it’s true that this ’90s trend is not for everyone, these chic butterfly clip hairstyles are perfect for those who want to walk down memory lane and give this nostalgic hairstyle another try.
