Stylish hairstyles with crabs come from the 1990s: simple solutions for hair of any length and density

Stylish hairstyles with crabs come from the 1990s: simple solutions for hair of any length and density

In one of our previous materials about the current trends of the season, we already talked about the return to fashion of hairstyles with a popular accessory in the 1990s-a hair crab. If you have already caught fire with the idea of diversifying your autumn image with the help of such hairpins, then our new selection will serve as an excellent guide to action. Musthub has collected ideas of stylish hairstyles with a crab from instadive and advanced tiktokersh. Such hairstyles are very easy to repeat at home-regardless of the length and density of your hair!

For long hair

For owners of long hair, there are a huge number of variations of hairstyles with the main accessory of the 1990s. In this case, the main thing is to choose a fairly large crab that can withstand the original design created by you on the head.

The simplest option is to twist the hair into a tourniquet and fix it on the back of the head with a hairpin, leaving the ends of the hair to fall carelessly. You can get confused and come up with a more complex hairstyle. For example, leave your hair loose and use a few small crabs to fix several strands on different tiers. In general, there are a lot of options — watch and be inspired!

For short hair

If you wear a square or a slightly elongated version of it, then you also have the opportunity to diversify your hairstyle with the help of a fashionable accessory this season. Just separate a few strands from the face and secure them with a small clip on the top of the head, leaving the rest of the hair loose. You can collect all the hair in a crab and fix it on the back of the head. In the second case, do not forget to straighten the strands from the hairpin a little and give the hairstyle volume. Stock up on original ideas from Instagram-divas and tiktokersh!

For medium-length hair

Owners of medium-length hair are probably the most lucky. They have so many variations of the original hairstyles with a crab that they can change them almost every day of the week without repetition. For example, you can not only collect strands on the back of your head with a beautiful hairpin, but also make a French braid or charming " buns "on the back of your head in the style of Princess Leia from"Star Wars". Everything is the will of your imagination!

For thick hair

Hairstyles on thick hair before fixing the crab, it is better to fix it with an elastic band — so you will be more sure that it will not disintegrate after some time. Therefore, first collect your hair in a careless ponytail, and only then pin your hair with a crab in any way you like, as already shown above!

For fine hair

But the trick of hairstyles on thin hair, on the contrary, is not to additionally use elastic bands, but to form the desired shape only with the help of fingers — so the design on the head will look more voluminous. You can peek at one of the ways to make a hairstyle on thin hair from a tictoker named Leah Malone.

For curly hair

Crabs look no less interesting on naturally curly hair than on straight ones. Social networks offer a large number of hairstyles with this accessory, suitable for owners of curls. Here, for example, is one of them: separate a few strands from the face, and twist the rest of the hair into a shell on the back of the head and fix it with a volumetric crab. Unruly hairs escaping from the hairstyle can be smoothed with a special styling gel or invisibles.
