Collection: Claw Clips

Choose a shape for your style

Start with the silhouette you want. A square clip gives a neat, defined look, while a curved or long arc shape follows the line of a twist. For a smaller accent or a half-up style, compare the Polka Dot Acetate Mini Claw Clip with larger shapes. The Cellulose Acetate Square Claw Clip offers a more structured profile.

Next, consider how much hair you want to gather. A full twist needs a different size from a half-up section, so check the exact measurements on each product page before choosing. The page also lists an estimated Hold level based on the clip’s size and construction. Use that information as a guide alongside the look you want; the amount and arrangement of your hair can affect how a clip works for you.

Wear claw clips in a few simple ways

For a classic twist, gather your hair at the back of your head and turn it upward or downward, depending on where you want the ends to sit. Open the clip, place it across the gathered section, and check that the teeth catch hair along the twist. Let the ends show above the clip for a relaxed finish, or tuck them in for a tidier shape.

For a half-up look, take a section from each side and bring them together at the back. Choose a smaller clip or a lighter-looking shape to keep the detail in proportion. A Butterfly Print Acrylic Long Arc Claw Clip adds a curved line; a Satin Large Claw Clip with Rhinestone Starry Speckles brings more decoration to a simple outfit. For an occasion look, pair a bow or pearl detail with a plain neckline and keep other accessories understated.

Compare materials and care for your clip

Acetate and acrylic styles have a smooth, defined appearance, while satin, fabric, and velvet styles add a softer surface. Details such as pearls, crystals, floral shapes, and bows can make a clip the focus of your hairstyle. For example, the Polka Dot Bow Hair Claw Clip with Pearl Accent pairs a bow shape with a pearl detail; wear it with a simple twist so the decoration remains visible.

Handle clips by the body rather than pulling on decorative details. To clean, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth, taking care around embellishments. Keep clips in their original shape when storing them, and avoid placing heavy items on top. If you are choosing between two styles, compare their exact measurements and listed Hold levels on their product pages before deciding.
