Broken yet another hair elastic? Has your barrette clip pinged off after trying to fit around your hair one more time? Having long or thick hair is a lovely thing, but sometimes you simply want it out of your face.
If you find your hair hard to contain, this selection of clips should help make mornings easier. You might even gain ten more minutes in bed.
Hair Claws for Thick Hair
Our most popular style for easy, everyday wear.
For long or thick hair, choose a large hair claw with a strong spring to hold everything securely. Our French handmade range includes the classic The Original Large Hair Claw Clip, which comes in a lovely range of colours. There is also our much-loved Octopus Thick Hair Claw Clip, designed especially for thick and long hair: its long teeth overlap around the back of your bun or twist for a secure hold all day.
For something a little different, try the Large Sophia Side Hair Claw Clip. It works in the same way as a classic hair claw, but the clasp is fitted on the side, so it is comfortable while driving or sitting with your head against the back of a seat. Its wide opening is lovely for French twists and buns.
Barrettes for Thick Hair
One simple barrette clip can be used in so many ways, making barrettes one of the most versatile styles we offer.
If you have thick hair, look for larger barrettes or ones with a generous gap between the clasp and the barrette, so more hair can fit inside. Our Wide Arched Barrette Clip is a good choice, as the curved shape leaves more room for your hair. A flatter style such as the Oval Barrette Clip is better suited to fine to medium-weight hair, or to holding smaller sections of thick hair.
Beak Clips for Thick Hair
Another lovely option for everyday hairstyles. If you want to put all of your hair up, look for curved or larger beak and pelican clips, like our Large Pelican Clip, which has teeth inside the curve and suits medium to thick or long hair. Save smaller clips for half-up styles or for pinning back smaller sections and fringes.
The key takeaway: if you have thick hair, choose curved clips rather than flat ones, with a large, strong spring. Our French handmade and Essentials ranges are fitted with strong steel springs and made to last.
