First, brush or comb out your hair to remove any tangles or knots. It's important to start with smooth, detangled hair to make the sectioning process easier.

Divide your hair into sections using the clips. Depending on the size of your hair and your personal preferences, you may want to create two, three, or more sections. To do this, use the clips to separate the hair at the crown of your head and clip it out of the way. Then, use more clips to separate the hair on the sides and back of your head.

Once you've sectioned your hair, you can begin styling or maintaining it as needed. For example, if you're styling your hair with hot tools, you can work on one section at a time, unclipping and re-clipping the other sections as you go.

When you're finished styling or maintaining your hair, remove the clips and shake out the hair to blend the sections together.
