Butterfly clips were popular with kids in the 1990s and early 2000s. They became a favorite among celebrities, who wore them in pairs or scattered through their hair. They were seen on TV and red carpets for years.
And if you thought you could leave the butterfly clip trend behind with your jelly sandals and mom jeans, you were wrong. Butterfly clips are back, and they're better than ever. Teens and tweens on TikTok and the biggest celebrities and influencers are all bringing the retro trend back to life and making it feel fresh and new.
Like its first version, the clips can be worn in any way. You can cut them short or braid them long like Rapunzel. You can load a lot of different colored butterflies or just a few that are more artistic and modern. Whether the butterfly clips remind you of something from your past or are something new to you, they are instantly cute.Even though we miss all of our favorite hairstyles from the past, we're not crazy enough to buy everything from Claire's clearance bin just because it's back. That's why the retro hair accessories that come back around aren't the neon pink fluffy scrunchies and rhinestone-covered daisy clips that were everywhere, but the ones that feel a little more timeless, like the tortoiseshell claw clip and classic banana clip. They aren't here to scare us, but to remind us of simpler times before Dyson hair dryers and balayage hair color. We're talking about frosted tip times, and nothing will make you feel like a fool like looking back at those photos.
Butterfly clips were a popular hair accessory in the 1990s. We used to buy them in bulk at the mall. They're small, can be used in many ways, and have a lot of personality. Back in the day, they might have been used too much—no hairstyle should need ten butterfly clips—but we still think that the hair accessory can add a bit of fun to any boring hair day in 2020.
Butterfly clips were usually used to pull back sections of hair from the crown of the head. This kept hair out of your eyes and gave you about as much attitude as your aunt on the day HomeGoods puts up Christmas decorations. With just one or two butterfly clips, you can add a bit of nostalgia and fun to your day, which is something we can get behind right now. Use it to pull your hair into a half-up style, to make a braid look longer, or to keep your bangs out of your eyes.
