Hair 2022: the magic of TikTok is that an old trend becomes new again (banana clips)

When an old trend becomes new again, one wonders, why did we stop wearing it in the first place? OK, this rule doesn’t apply to everything. Low rise jeans can be relegated to oblivion forever. But when it comes to fun and comfy accessories like banana clips, or banana clips, many will be happy that they are back.

If 2021 was the year of pincers and scrunchies, 2022 will instead be the year of the great return of clip a banana, abandoned in the distant 80s.

It is about curved clips with small teeth which can be used to hold a hairstyle in place. They look a bit like two small, thin combs connected at one end. They can be used for a myriad of hairstyles, both for a fluffy ponytail for those with curly hair, and for those who want to prepare a ponytail that enhances impeccable straightening, and for a cascading semi-harvest.

Banana hair clips can be found in a variety of styles, with sparkling rhinestones or Swarovski, or fun animal prints. If you still have no idea what we are talking about here is an easy explanation for dummies. They are called clip a banana because, well, they are shaped like bananas. Unlike the round shape of a claw, these are ‘U’ shaped with two plastic sides joining in the middle. The springy teeth on the inside collect the ponytail and often make the hair look much fuller and longer. Banana clips were very popular in the late 80’s and 90’s. Not in the Y2K period, but more in the era of the American sitcom Bayside School, aired from 1989 to 1993 on the NBC channel. In Italy the series was broadcast by Italia 1 from October 1993 to January 1994 in the late afternoon slot.

You will surely have worn them in elementary school, trying to copy your mother. They require some practice to be used to their best advantage but obviously the TikTokers come to our aid. @vickynatashcha pulls her thick wavy hair back with a crystal-embellished clip, and There you go. It is a marvel!
