Hair claw clips are a quick way to secure hair without building a complicated hairstyle. They can work for errands, workdays, casual outings or a more decorative occasion, but the best clip is one that fits your hair length, thickness and desired hold.
Classic twist
Gather the hair at the back, twist it upward and secure the twist with a clip that is long enough to hold the section. If your hair is thick or long, a larger clip or stronger hinge may be more suitable than a small decorative design.
Half-up style
Take the top section of hair from each side and secure it at the back. This keeps some hair away from the face while leaving the rest loose. A smaller clip may be enough for this style, depending on hair volume.
Low twist
Gather the hair near the nape, twist it loosely and clip it into place. This is a simple option for a relaxed look. Avoid pulling the hair too tightly, and check the clip does not press uncomfortably against the scalp.
Choose a clip for your hair type
- Fine hair: Try a smaller, lightweight clip with teeth that can grip the section.
- Thick hair: Look for a larger size and a secure hinge.
- Short or layered hair: A half-up style or smaller clip may be easier to manage.
- Decorative styling: Embellished clips can become the focal point, so keep other accessories simple.
How to make a clip last
Open and close the clip gently, avoid forcing hair into a size that is too small, and store it where the hinge will not be crushed. If the clip pulls, slips or causes discomfort, adjust the section or try a different size.
Style it with your outfit
Matte clips can be understated for daily wear, while pearl, butterfly or rhinestone details can complement dressier outfits. Choose the colour and finish to suit your wardrobe rather than buying a piece for a trend alone.
