Styling your hair with duckbill clips, similar to alligator clips, involves sectioning your hair and using the clips to hold these sections in place. Start by separating a section of your hair where you want to create volume or curls. Then, slide the duckbill clip into place, securing the hair against your head. Leave the clips in while you finish styling the rest of your hair or while your hair dries or sets, then carefully remove them. The result is usually enhanced body and wave in the styled areas.
