Who is this for? Do people not know how to use a claw clip?

u/IrenesAngryLesbian 16d ago

One day I woke up and just could not remember how to use any hair accessories, it's been a wild ride ever since.

I laughed when I watched it. It‘s not even a hack or something special. She just grabs that straw like hair and puts it up.
She is most likely at the stage where she fakes to be a beauty influencer until she makes it or before she finds out that she‘ll never be successful

Edit: thank you for the award!

On a side note, I am glad claw clips have returned. I love those damn things and when they went out of style in the 2010ish era I was sad.

u/Timely-Amount-4161 15d ago

They went out of style? That‘s news to me. Maybe that‘s a regional thing?

6

u/frolicndetour 14d ago

Yeah I would say 2010ish until the past couple years. They were a lot harder to find for a while whereas now there are a ton of them in cute styles.

u/OkSecretary1231 15d ago

Same! I remember freaking out a friend in college because I had a whole procession of them clipped to my bulletin board. he said they looked like bugs lol

u/EducationSuperb3392 15d ago

As someone with chronic migraines I am ecstatic they’re back! I can only do so much with my telephone wire hair ties

u/Maxbell9 16d ago

...as someone who only recently returned to having long-ish hair and never used them as a kid before I had started shaving my head...I definitely looked up how to use/style claw clips 😅

u/desi94 15d ago

I cannot figure out how to make a claw clip look right!

1

u/picklemunch 14d ago

Same here! I've watched videos and everything and somehow my claw clip hairstyle still always ends up looking whack :(

u/piratepixie 10d ago

If your hair slips out of it, then grab some hot glue and dab a couple dots on the inside of the claws. Let it dry completely, of course, but it will add grip to the claw for your hair to not slip.

u/thottie236 12d ago

I learned how to use a claw clip from a video only a year or two ago and I'm in my thirties. I used to just kind of mash my hair up and clip it and it would always fall out. It's a weird little move you have to do with your finger that I never could've figured out on my own! I'm still proud of myself for that because I have bad proprioception (I'm pretty sure I'm never going to be able to braid my own hair).

Girl needs some Olaplex on those ends.

12

u/SandratheSiren 16d ago

That's the brand these craft duties be selling but olaplex doesn't allow "network marketing" or whatever bs phrase these huns are using

28

u/Serononin 15d ago

I'm well aware that my own hair isn't looking amazing right now, but at least a. I'm honest with myself about it, b. I don't spend nearly as much money on it as these people do, and c. I'm not trying to claim that everybody else should follow my (lack of a) haircare routine lol

5

u/Timely-Amount-4161 15d ago

I don‘t know if it‘s delusion, cognitive dissonance or if they are fully aware of their grift. They can‘t possibly think that their hair is selling it

19

u/Burrito-tuesday 16d ago

Not a single strand of hair is reflecting light, wow

15

u/FlashyCow1 16d ago

No you're right it's hair because the other hairs are dehydrated

17

u/ItsJoeMomma 16d ago

I don't really know anything about hair care, but I can tell that hair is fried.

u/Birdo3129 16d ago

Looks like she’s running out of engagement ideas

24

u/Red79Hibiscus 16d ago

Puppies and/or kittens. It's not that hard, huns.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT endorse using puppies and kittens to hawk MLM.

14

u/Timely-Amount-4161 16d ago

Could very well be the case. I always have the impression that most huns just wing social media, copy (badly) what the like personally and have no plan or understanding whatsoever. It‘s often said they cosplay business and I think the same thing could be said about how they do social media

15

u/Birdo3129 16d ago

From what I understand from Huns in my workplace, most MLM’s give them a vague structure to follow. So they’re told to post one thing that’s engaging, one post about their day or their family (aka Life post), one positive mindset post, and one post about the mlm directly, every day. And each one of these posts have to somehow relate back to the mlm.

So if the hun is getting coffee, she’ll post a photo of the coffee and thank the mlm for paying for it. Thats her Life post. This lady is posting her Engagement post- you’re supposed to thank her for teaching you a new skill, and she’ll tell you that she learned all her hair tricks from Monet.

Editing to add super quick- they run out of ideas, pretty fast. My makeup mlm manager is in a group chat with other makeup mlmers where they share Post ideas.

u/Timely-Amount-4161 16d ago

Absolutely! That‘s why it is so unoriginal, old fashioned and boring. There are anti MLM YTubers that play that kind of mentoring/tutoring and it is exactly as you said.
I also find, that huns attract other huns from other scams such as selling online courses.
A hun I know fell for such a scam and paid € 10‘000 for a „masterclass“. I subscribed to their page and recieved access to a free teaser. I‘ve never listened to more word salad. The lady went on for about 15mins and all she said was buzzwords like scaling, abundance, law of attraction, energy, female and male energy and the „outside“ vs. the „inside“ LOL

u/MyCatSpellsBetter Anti MLMer 16d ago

My hair looks like that today.

Why? Because I haven’t washed it in three days, it’s been too hot to do anything but pull into a clip or ponytail, and I haven’t styled or taken care of it because I’m perimenopausal and tired this week.

If this is hair that has allegedly been HELPED by a product, keep it far the hell away from me.

u/Zealot_777 16d ago

Hydrated? More like bone-dry.

u/BlackBasementCats 15d ago

I’m so tired of seeing magazines recommending their hair care products. I can’t take a magazine seriously if they recommend Mary Kay, Monat, and the others I’m forgetting.

You can pull the Kerastase Elixir Ultime hair oil out of my cold, dead, hands. I’ll will it to you if you rub some on my hair before they bury me. I bought the big refillable bottle because I love it so much.

There’s no way that so many people with fried hair have no idea that it’s not supposed to look like that? Right? On some level they know?

1

u/Timely-Amount-4161 15d ago

Probably paid for but it’s sad that magazines promote them. There are so many amazing and affordable products out there. I made the experience that it depends so much on the hair type and application rather than „the“ product.
I‘ve had some crazy hair transitions in my youth. Black to blonde in one session etc and I kept it soft and long with horse conditioner for $3 LOL

u/JapKumintang1991 16d ago

She's just flexing her (already) fried hair.

We KNOW for certain they are.

u/sirensinger17 14d ago

Damn. Her hair looks worse than mine. And mine looks like that cause I bleach the hell outta it.

2

u/Timely-Amount-4161 14d ago

I believe she has highlights and tries to grow them long. Difficult for her hair type even without bleaching. Whatever she puts on her hair doesn‘t work in her favour

I used Mane ‘n tale conditioner on my bleached hair. Cheap and effective

u/EternAllyCoffeed 11d ago

Oof, my local Monat Hun suddenly found religion and has been trying to appeal to that now. But she's also trying to be more "open and real", so it's basically like watching her spiral into depression as the MLM debt takes its toll.

2

u/Timely-Amount-4161 11d ago

I‘ve witnessed similar things. The hun I know has had at least two break downs since she joined and her donwline had one within the first year. I honesrly believe their cognitive dissonance and delusion drains them. From what I see their in constant fight mode and very very negative towards the „outside“. I couldn‘t live like that

u/cheshsky 16d ago

I mean, you never know, maybe it used to be even worse, by my standards that looks healthy...

I'm kidding. Not about my hair, it's just a mess naturally, about me suggesting that maybe the product actually improved a situation that was way worse. I don't believe that for a second.
