In this blog post, we explore the common mistakes people make when using claw clips, with step-by-step tutorials for different hairstyles and hair types.
Choosing the Right Claw Clip for Your Hair Type
If you feel you are using a claw clip wrong, it is most likely because you have not yet found the right one for your hair type. Here is a quick guide to help you choose:
- For Long Hair: look for claw clips with long teeth. These give the extra length needed to secure longer hair and help stop it slipping out.
- For Thick Hair: choose claw clips with a wide grasp. These hold a larger volume of hair, for a secure and comfortable hold without straining the clip.
- For Fine Hair: choose claw clips with overlapping teeth. These are designed to catch fine strands for a secure hold.
Which one is right for you?
- Long hair: the Large Jurassic Hair Claw Clip, whose long teeth wrap around the hair, including long fine hair.
- Thick hair: the Octopus Thick Hair Claw Clip, with long overlapping teeth and a circular shape.
- Fine hair: the Long Narrow Fine Hair Claw Clip, with overlapping teeth for delicate fine hair.
How to do an updo with a claw clip?
- Begin by gathering all of your hair at the nape of your neck and start twisting.
- Lift the twist upwards so it lies flat against the back of your head. Take your claw clip and secure it onto the twist. You can either create a ponytail effect, leaving the top section of your hair free from the claw, or neatly fold the ends into the twist before securing the claw.
- Leave a few loose strands to frame your face for a soft and elegant look.
