The heat is on and your hair deserves accessories that work as hard as you do. Whether you're heading to a rooftop terrace, a weekend festival, or simply navigating the daily commute in the sun, the right hair accessory can elevate your look in seconds. Here's how to style your hair this summer with THOC Collective's edit of claw clips, scrunchies, and hair pins.
1. The Effortless Claw Clip Up do Your Summer Non-Negotiable
When temperatures rise, getting your hair up fast is everything. A well-placed claw clip does the heavy lifting no pins, no fuss, no heat damage.
How to style it: Gather your hair loosely at the nape of your neck, twist once, and clip. Let a few face-framing pieces fall naturally for that undone, editorial finish. Works beautifully on second-day hair.

2. The Scrunchie Ponytail — Elevated, Not Basic
The scrunchie has earned its permanent place in the summer hair accessories canon and for good reason. It's gentle on your hair, adds texture, and looks intentional rather than thrown together.
How to style it: Pull hair into a mid or high ponytail and secure with a THOC scrunchie. For a polished finish, wrap a small section of hair around the base to conceal the band. Pair with a low bun for evening.

3. Half-Up, Half-Down with a Claw Clip
The half-up style is the summer sweet spot hair off your face without committing to a full updo. A smaller claw clip keeps it looking considered rather than casual.
How to style it: Section the top half of your hair from ear to ear, twist lightly, and secure with a smaller claw clip at the crown. Leave the rest loose or add a wave with a diffuser for texture.

4. Pinned Back and Polished — The Hair Pin Edit
Hair pins are the quiet achievers of summer styling. Subtle, secure, and endlessly versatile they're the finishing touch that makes a look feel complete.
How to style it: Use two or three THOC hair pins to sweep one side of your hair back behind the ear, or to secure a French twist. Layer them for a more decorative effect, or keep it minimal for a clean, modern finish.

5. The Claw Clip Bun Beachside Ready
The claw clip bun is the ultimate beach-to-bar style. It takes seconds, holds all day, and looks effortlessly put-together whether you're salt-sprayed or freshly washed.
How to style it: Flip your hair forward, gather into a loose bundle, and clip at the crown. Don't overthink it the more relaxed, the better. Finish with a light-hold spray to tame any flyaways.

6. The Scrunchie Braid Tie —Texture Meets Function
Braids and plaits are a summer staple, and swapping a standard elastic for a THOC scrunchie at the end transforms the whole look.
How to style it: Plait loosely a three-strand or fishtail works beautifully and secure the end with a scrunchie that complements your outfit. Pull the braid apart gently for volume and a relaxed finish.
