One clip, no elastic, hair up in seconds. That is the everyday appeal of claw clips, and it is why they have become the accessory people reach for daily. Our hair claw clips do the job simply: gather, twist, clamp, done.

We make more than 60 styles of hair claw clip in one place, in six sizes and a range of shapes. Every one is built with rounded teeth that grip without pulling and a spring strong enough to hold all day without a crease.

Find Your Claw Clip Size

Size is the decision that matters most. Match the clip to how much hair you are holding and it stays put; get it wrong and it slides.

• X-Small (3cm): six tiny clips per set for bangs, baby hairs, face-framing pieces, and fine or short hair. Shop the X-Small 6pc set.

• Mini: small accent clips you can wear several at once, ideal for half-up detail and shorter layers. Try the Mini Cloud clips.

• Medium (9cm): the everyday size, with a curved profile and rounded teeth that hold fine to thick hair without slipping or creasing. Meet the Medium Curved clips.

• Jumbo (14cm): a bigger clip for full twists, longer hair, and more volume. See the Jumbo Classic clips.

• Oversized: our largest hold, made to pin up all of your hair at once for thick, curly, and high-density textures. Reach for the Oversized Matte clips.

Claw Clips for Thick Hair

The best claw clip for thick hair is a large one with a strong spring. A small clip cannot hold a full twist, so it slips out within the hour. Our Jumbo clip measures 14cm and is built for thick and long hair, and the Oversized clip pins up everything at once.

Look for the strong hold and the durable recycled plastic that does not give under a heavy twist. The springs grip firmly without digging into your scalp, and the rounded teeth hold the whole section so it stays put at the top.

For thick or wavy hair that wants more than one size on hand, the Assorted Rectangle 3pc set gives you a big clip plus two smaller ones. Fine or thin hair does better with a Medium or a Mini, since an oversized clip has nothing to grip.

Shop by Style

Once you have your size, the shape is where the fun starts.

• Flat: sits flush at the back of your head with a low profile, so it stays comfortable while driving or lying down. Browse the flat clips.

• Cloud: a rounded, soft silhouette with a glossy finish. See the cloud clips.

• Octopus: an open, spidery shape that grips through a twist. Try the Black & Tort Octopus clips.

• Metal: our Gold and Hematite clips add a polished, elevated finish.

• Black and tort: the tortoise-shell neutral that goes with everything.

• Prints and collabs: Cherry, Lisa Frank, Hello Kitty, and elf glitter clips when you want something cute.

Kind to Your Hair and the Planet

Every clip is consciously created from recycled plastic, so it reduces plastic waste while it holds your style. The rounded teeth stay smooth against the hair, with no metal seam and no elastic tension tugging at your roots.

How to Wear a Claw Clip

Gather your hair at the nape, twist it upward toward your crown, then clamp the clip at the base of the twist. For a half-up look, twist loosely and clip. For a full bun, sweep it all back and clip low.

Claw Clip FAQ

Are claw clips damaging to your hair?

A well-made claw clip is gentle. Rounded teeth, no metal seam, and no elastic tension mean no snag and no crease at the fold. Take the clip out before sleeping, since a rigid clip is uncomfortable to lie on.

What size claw clip do I need?

Short or fine hair holds best in an X-Small or Medium. Medium-length hair suits the Medium curved clip. Long or thick hair needs a Jumbo or Oversized. When in doubt, size up.

What type of claw clip is best for thick hair?

A Jumbo or Oversized clip with a wide grip and a strong spring. The larger the section you are pinning, the more clip and spring you need to keep it up all day.

What are claw clips actually called?

Plenty of names. You will see them sold as hair claws, hair claw clips, jaw clips, and octopus clips. They all describe the same clamp-and-twist accessory.

Picking the One That Stays Put

The clip that works is the one matched to your hair. Size for how much you are holding, shape for how you like the look, and one clip gives you an updo that lasts all day. Start with your size, then pick the shape you will reach for every morning.
