Claw Clips for Thick Hair

Choose a claw clip by the shape and amount of hair you want to gather: a larger clip can suit a full twist, while a decorative detail can finish a half-up style. Exact measurements and a listed Hold level appear on each product page to help you compare.

How to choose a claw clip for thick hair

Start with the hairstyle you want, then compare the clip’s shape and size. For a full updo, you’ll be gathering more hair into one section; for a half-up look, you’ll use a smaller portion. Check the exact measurements on each product page before choosing, and consider how much of the clip you want visible in your finished style.

A larger shape can work well with a gathered twist, while a decorative floral or bow shape can add detail to a simpler hairstyle. The Large Crystal Flower Claw Clip has a floral design, and the Large Satin Bow Claw Clip with Rhinestone Center gives a bow detail. Each product page also lists a Hold level estimated from size and construction, so you can compare the two styles.

How to wear and style your clip

For a twist updo, gather your hair at the back of your head and turn it upward or inward, depending on the direction you want the twist to face. Open the clip, place it across the gathered section, and let the teeth pass through the twist and the hair underneath. Adjust the ends of the twist, then check the style from the side and back.

For a half-up style, take hair from above each ear and bring it together at the back. Clip that section without pulling the rest of your hair into the style. This gives the floral or bow detail a clear place to show. You can also make a low twist at the nape for a softer shape, or leave a few face-framing pieces loose. If the clip feels awkward to position, gather a smaller section or change the direction of the twist.

Materials and simple care

The Large Crystal Flower Claw Clip pairs a flower shape with crystal detail. The Large Satin Bow Claw Clip with Rhinestone Center features a satin bow and rhinestone center. Choose between them based on the finish you want: a floral accent or a bow detail. Either can dress up a straightforward twist without needing additional accessories.

Handle the embellished areas gently when opening and closing the clip, and avoid pulling at the flower, bow, or decorative center. After wearing it, store the clip where it won’t be pressed against other accessories. If it needs cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth and wipe lightly; avoid rubbing the decorative details. Keeping it separate between wears can also help prevent snags and scratches.

Questions

How do I choose a clip for a full updo or a half-up style?

Decide how much hair you want to gather, then compare the exact measurements on each product page. A full twist gathers more hair than a half-up style, so the shape and size that suit each look may differ.

What does the listed Hold level mean?

Each product page lists a Hold level of Light, Medium, or Strong, estimated from the clip’s size and construction. Use it to compare products, not as a promise about how a style will wear.

How much is shipping, and when will my order ship?

Shipping is free on orders of $50 or more. Standard shipping is $4.99, or $7.99 to Europe, and takes 2–8 business days. Express shipping is $26 and takes 1–3 business days. Orders ship within 1–2 business days, Monday through Saturday, Pacific Time.

Can I return a claw clip if I change my mind?

Unworn items in their original packaging can be returned within 14 days of delivery. For a change-of-mind return, you pay the return shipping cost. Refunds are issued within 5 business days after inspection.

How should I care for the decorative details?

Open and close the clip gently, avoid pulling at its decorative details, and store it separately from other accessories. If needed, wipe it lightly with a soft, dry cloth.
