HOW TO USE
The difference between waves that drop in an hour and waves that last all day. Clip while warm, release when cool.
- STYLE
Curl, wave, or blow-dry your hair into your desired shape while it is still warm.
- CLIP
While the hair is still warm, take each styled section and secure it in a pin curl or wave using a setting clip, pressing the clip closed flat against the head.
- SET
Leave the clips in place until the hair has completely cooled — this is what locks the shape in. For maximum hold, allow 10 to 15 minutes.
- RELEASE
Remove the clips gently by opening them fully before pulling away from the hair to avoid disrupting the set. Finish with a light-hold spray if desired.
FAQs
Setting clips are used to hold sections of hair in place while waves, curls, or a blowout are setting and cooling. Applying them while the hair is still warm and leaving them in as the hair cools locks in the shape more effectively than leaving the hair loose. They are also useful for keeping hair sections out of the way during makeup application or styling prep.
Yes. They are particularly useful for clip-in extension wearers who want to set waves or curls that blend across both natural hair and extension pieces. Using setting clips on the finished style helps both the natural hair and the extension hair hold their shape for longer after styling.
Setting clips are designed to hold the hair without creating a harsh crease at the point of contact, unlike kirby grips or toothed clips. Using them on dry, fully cooled hair and removing them gently gives the smoothest release. Avoid leaving them in for extended periods on wet hair, where a deeper impression can form at the clip line.
The pack contains eight clips, which is sufficient for most full head styling sessions. Eight clips allows you to work across multiple sections simultaneously, whether you are setting a full wave pattern or just pinning back sections for a blowout finish.
