Sometimes, no matter how fresh outta the pack or tightly crimped hairclips are, they insist on slipping down through your locks. Which is a nightmare for updos – not to mention full-on helmet hair! – and wicked annoying too for anyone just trying to keep a few wayward strands out of their eyes.
Freshly-washed gruaig is often a key offender, but rather than fill it full of Batiste or wait for a bit of grease to build up, try this easy tip that will help hairclips stay put without taking the lovely lustre off your hair. Give them a shot of hairspray, wait a minute for it to get slightly tacky, and bung them in.
Et voilá – clips that won’t slip!

Great tip, everything always slides out of my hair unless it is a bit gunky!
wow love that hair clip thing in the pic. anyone know where to get something similar?
Great idea and the clip in the pic is gorgeous!! I have the slipping problem with the hair bands that are worn like Alice bands but the go all the way around your head if you know what I mean? Like a big circle of material? I try to use little pins to keep them in but it never works so I think I am going to give your hairspray tip ago!
