I love these! I’m very picky with what I buy and I have no regret buying these! I have long and thick hair and I was worried these wouldn’t hold my hair up but they don’t budge! I’ve basically been wearing them every day and my sister has now stolen one and wears it every day. Highly recommended!

Are you wondering about the durability of this product? This review says it all…
This butterfly claw clip is amazing. I wear it almost EVERY single day ALL day in the hot & steamy parts of Southeast Texas in that toxic humidity that never goes away and not even a little bit has this baby tarnished in the last 3 months. It is also INDESTRUCTIBLE. I break even the most durable claw clips so I’ve switched to metal ones and this one is one of the strongest I have in my collection. I get compliments on it all the time and it’s the cutest subtle accessory that goes with any outfit.
You can find small butterfly clips here. Give yourself the ultimate 90’s flashback with these…
5. Long hair? These 5″ clips will keep every strand in place!
These large claw clips have a square design that is not only trendy, but provides a better grip. Plus, the 5″ size is just about as large as they come!
Check out this 5-star review…
I have fine, but lots of hair. My hair is very long and reaches my lower back. It’s hard to find a clip that holds my hair without straining or pulling my hair. The flat comb style is perfect for keeping hair in place and preventing some from falling out. My more rounded clips don’t grip right. These clips are very durable, which is great since I have had many broken in the past. They are fantastic and I love the different colors. These will definitely be on rotation.
Flat claw clips, also known as French barettes, alligator clip, or side clips, are known for their durability and ability to hold even thick hair in place. They come in four neutral colours and have a matte, elegant finish.
Here’s why this reviewer loves these clips…
The perfect flat large hair clip. It is light but has substance. One clip is enough to hold my hair up (medium-fine hair). I love using 2 clips for styling and securing. No more scalp pains!! Thanks to the flat design, I can sit back comfortably in my car while driving. The flat design also means that it does not pull on my hair when I remove my clip. I already placed 3 more orders as it’s not easy to come across perfect hair clips.😄 I’m a hairclip maniac. I buy them in all sizes and styles, large, small or medium. I search for the most useful and comfortable clips. I think I have found them.
You can also find out more about us on our website. Are claw clips more durable in the event of an accident?
Many are now advising removing claw clip while driving to avoid any damage in the event of an accident. These flat claw clip may be a safer option, as the prongs of the clip are shorter and they lay flatter on the head.
7. This gold clip variety pack makes a wonderful gift!
These clips are made of high-quality alloy so they provide a secure hold and won’t chip or crack. They are available in different shapes to suit every occasion. Their gold color is perfect for evening wear, weddings and more.
This set has a 4.7-star rating with 7,280 5-star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ratings! Here’s what one happy customer had to say…
Every woman I know owns these clips – because they’re my favorite to give as a gift. They go on sale for $6 often and I’ll buy a couple boxes when they do. The box is a pretty shade of pink with a mesh pouch inside.
The clips are wide open, allowing for lots of thick hair. The metal hinges on the clips are tightly coiled to keep them closed tightly around the hair. These clips aren’t going anywhere, unlike plastic clips which start to slip as soon as I put my hair in them.
I absolutely love using these clips for myself, and every woman I’ve gifted them to raves about them as well. They are worn by my coworkers all the time. Daily! Highly recommend for yourself or as a can’t-miss gift.
8. Target claw clips are everything from eclectic to chic & Hip Sidekick, Chelsey is also a big fan!

How can you use a cinch clip?
If you want something easy, then claw clips will do.
They work on slicked-back styles, ponytails, half-up hair, straight hair, curly hair – even dirty hair. 😆
Use a claw clip in the following way:
– Gather your hair into a ponytail in the center back of the head
– Twist all the hair until the end of your ponytail is pointing towards the ceiling
– Open the claw clip to secure the teeth over the twisted pony in the center back of the head. *If you have long enough hair it should spill over.
– OptionalIf you have a hair problem, it is important to get your hair treated. The same goes for the other way around. If your ponytail is long, or you want a different style, fold it in half and secure the claw clip. The hair will stay under the claw clip, creating a bun-like look.
