Choosing the right hair claw for your hair type: a guide
When it comes to hair accessories, hair claws are some of the most versatile and practical pieces to have in your collection. They can be used to create a variety of hairstyles, from simple updos to more intricate looks. However, not all hair claws are created equal, and choosing the right one for your hair type is the key to a style you love.
How do you wear a hair claw with curly hair?
Curly hair can be tricky to style with hair claws, as curls can easily get caught in the teeth. Look for hair claws with a smooth, rounded shape that won't snag your curls. A hair claw with a wider opening can also help accommodate your curls and avoid pulling or discomfort. Our French Handmade hair claws go through a three-step polishing process for the smoothest edges, to help reduce snagging. For curly hair, our Octopus Thick Hair Claw Clip and The Original Large Hair Claw Clip will hold your curls comfortably in place.
Do hair claws work on thick hair?
Yes, they do. For thick hair, a larger hair claw may be needed to hold all of your hair in place. Look for hair claws with a strong grip and a larger size. A claw with a smooth, curved shape can also help distribute the weight of your hair evenly, reducing discomfort or pulling. Our thick hair claws are made from strong acetate and fitted with durable clasps, designed to hold thick hair securely.
How do I get my hair clip to stay in fine hair?
If you have fine hair, you'll want a hair claw that won't slip or slide out. Look for hair claws with teeth that grip your hair and hold it in place. A smaller hair claw may also work better for fine hair, as it won't weigh your hair down. Our hair claws for fine hair are designed with overlapping teeth to help keep every strand in place, so your style stays put all day. Take a look at our Long Narrow Fine Hair Claw Clip and Small Sophia Side Hair Claw, two lovely choices for fine hair.
How do you use a hair claw with short hair?
If you have short hair, a smaller hair claw may be all you need. Look for lightweight hair claws that won't overwhelm your hair. A claw with a curved shape can also follow the shape of your head and keep your hair in place without slipping. Our The Original Small Hair Claw Clip and Mini Hair Claw Clip work beautifully in short hair for half-up styles or clipping sections away from the face.
How do you use a hair claw with long hair?
For long hair, a larger hair claw may be needed to hold all of your hair in place. Look for hair claws with a strong grip and a larger size. A claw with a smooth, curved shape can also help distribute the weight of your hair evenly, reducing discomfort or pulling. Our hair claws for long hair are designed with long teeth to hold your hair securely. They're also larger, with a wider grasp to fit all of your hair inside.
