How to Style Large Ginger and Mustard Hair Claw Clips

Quick answer

Treat the clip as the warmest point of your outfit: prep hair so the claw can grip, place it where it balances your head shape, then echo its ginger or mustard tone once in your clothing or makeup. The steps below turn that into a repeatable routine.

Your step-by-step styling routine

1. 1. Prep hair for grip: Start with dry hair and add a light texture spray or dry shampoo at the roots if your hair is fine or freshly washed. For thick hair, gather hair into a low ponytail first and twist it once before clipping. Common mistake: clipping slick, product-heavy hair, which lets the claw slide out within an hour. If the clip slips when you shake your head gently, add more texture before continuing.
2. 2. Choose your placement: For a lifted look, place the clip at the crown with the teeth pointing down and the hinge facing outward. For a calmer, low-maintenance look, place it at the nape with the teeth pointing up. Common mistake: placing a large claw directly on top of a smooth bun, which can look like an afterthought. Check the clip in a mirror from the side; the clip should sit parallel to your part, not tilted.
3. 3. Build the outfit around one warm accent: Pair a ginger clip with cream, olive, rust, or denim. Pair a mustard clip with navy, white, chocolate brown, or grey. Keep the rest of your accessories neutral so the clip is the only warm statement. Common mistake: wearing both ginger and mustard near your face at once, which can compete rather than complement. If you want to wear both clips in one week, switch your outfit palette between wears rather than stacking them.
4. 4. Finish with makeup or a scarf: Echo the clip color once: a terracotta lip with the ginger clip, or a mustard scarf with the mustard clip. Skip matching eyeshadow, which can look heavy. Common mistake: adding a second warm accessory at the same scale, such as a large statement necklace. One echo is enough; if you add a scarf, remove other neck accessories.
5. 5. Test the hold before you leave: Turn your head side to side and tilt it forward. If the clip shifts more than a centimeter, re-twist the hair and re-clip. For thick hair, use two small claw clips at the sides to anchor the large clip. Common mistake: assuming a large claw clip will hold all day without a test. Carry a spare elastic in your bag in case you need to re-secure mid-day.
