Trying to find new hairstyles can feel like a chore sometimes.
If you want to try something that is simple yet casual and even elegant, consider the banana clip.
When closed, these hair clips are shaped like their fruit namesake.

To achieve this look, fire up the clip and start at the top of your hair.
Comb the clip over your hair until you’ve caught the entirety of the section you want pinned up.
Then, end the clip at the bottom.

Be sure the ends of the clip connect before you remove the scrunchie or elastic.
This leaves you with a bouncy, fun ponytail secured by the banana clip.
Leave a few extra curls or wisps of hair out of the ponytail to frame your face.

Then, wrap a patterned headscarf around your hair.
Cross the two ends of the scarf underneath your ponytail and then tie them above it.
The result is a stylish ponytail with a little extra oomph.
Ponytail with a bow
Banana clips come in various sizes, colors, and styles.
However, you should be able to find a simpler bow if desired.
For a really sleek look, consider a clip adorned with a silky black ribbon.
Then, take the extra hair in back and pin it with the banana clip.
The result is a super short, super fun ponytail with lots of volume.
They have also matched the color of the clip to the color of their outfit for a cohesive look.
The hairstyle itself is a nice half-up, half-down to keep the hair out of their face.
For this hairstyle, you will want the ponytail to practically sit at the very top of your head.
The final result will look chic and glamorous.
First, use a pencil (not too sharp!)
Repeat this action on the other side of your head.
Then, use your banana clip of choice to create a ponytail with the rest of your hair.
you’re able to make this ponytail high or low, depending on your preference.
The result is a look that is very sporty and stylish.
First, clip a ponytail with the banana clip.
Then, wrap the ponytail around the clip itself.
Finally, pin your hair in place using bobby pins.
It’s a very simple hairstyle to do but looks incredibly elegant.
This up-do would work for day-to-day life or for a fancier event.
