The past year brought us a ton of sleek, polished hairstyles which we absolutely adored.
However, in 2025 we are expecting to see a switch up in the super precise hairstyles and we will be exposed to a lot more natural-looking updos. Think messy Rachel Greene buns or Serena Van der Woodsen on a casual day. French combs are coming back into fashion and we are SO in love.

So what exactly is a French comb? Essentially a French comb is a classy and elegant-looking claw clip. They help hold the hair in buns, half up half downs, French twists and overall just more volume and to get your hair out of your face.
Unlike a traditional claw clip, the French comb lies super closely to the scalp allowing for an extra secure updo. They are also much less likely to break or snap on you like a claw clip.

Here’s how to use them:
It’s best to follow along with a video tutorial (which we have linked below) to help you get the hang of this hair accessory. But it’s very easy once you get the hang of it.
Tiktoker Ashley Paige recommends “taking the portion of hair that you want out of your face, twist it towards the back, then take the inside of your comb and scoop it towards the front and push forward for a little extra volume”.
These combs hold so well that you shouldn’t need to redo your hair throughout the day.
