Y2K is the modern day fashion. Today baddies everywhere are channeling their younger selves in their outfits with brands like Baby Phat and Von Dutch or with accessories like bucket hats, bandannas and butterfly clips. Butterfly clips are an affordable must-have for any baddie trying to slay looks today from back in the day.
You can find butterfly clips at your local Beauty Supply stores. (No, Sally’s Beauty does not count) The Beauty Supply stores that sell butterfly clips are usually in urban neighborhoods. You can thank the system for that. If you don’t have these stores in your area you can always order them online. I’ve listed a couple of options below. I would suggest getting a larger quantity because the clips break easily.
100 pcs of Butterfly Clips, Random Colors
50 pcs of Butterfly Clips, 14 Assorted Colors
200 pcs of Butterfly Clips, 8 Assorted Colors
Keep scrolling for ways to slay with Butterfly Clips.
Braids in the Front
This look was probably most popular in the late 90s and early 2000s. Two braids that stop just before the midway point of your hair accessorized with butterfly clips at the end of each braid. You can also try this look with four to six braids or braid the entire front of your hair. This style looks good with all hair types and hair colors.
Butterflies and Ponys
Instagram influencer and designer @meikajoi_ wore butterfly clips randomly placed throughout her ponytail. This style is good for the baddies with ponytail inches or with naturally long hair. You can easily add your own twist to your ponytail by changing the bubble style to a braided style or changing the butterfly clip colors ( ie. different shades of pink or red and blue) .
Butterfly Freestyle
Can’t forget a look for the baddies with natural hair. Accomplishing this look is simple, clip butterflies to your hair. That’s literally it. This hairstyle is best on natural 3 and 4 type curly hair.
A Butterfly Bob
This hairstyle is a straight bob with a middle part. Two single braids are on each side of the head where the butterfly clips were placed. This style also works on curly or longer hair.
Butterflies in a Bun
The next time you want to through your hair up in a bun add a little y2k aesthetic by adding butterfly clips. This hairstyle works on all hair types and can be accomplished with a neat or messy bun.
