Tips to make hair claws work on thick hair
Thick hair can be challenging to style with hair claws, but these tips can help:
- Choose the right size: look for a claw that is large enough to hold your hair, but not so large that it feels heavy. Our hair claws for thick hair are designed with a wide grasp, long teeth and strong springs to hold your hair comfortably.
- Use more than one claw: rather than holding all your hair with one claw, use two or three to share the weight and hold your style more securely. Our small hair claws or mini hair claws work beautifully for this.
- Secure with pins: if your hair is particularly thick or heavy, you may like to add a few hair pins to secure your style after using a claw.
What is the difference between a jaw clip and a claw clip?
Claw clips and jaw clips are two popular ways to keep hair in place. While they may look similar, there are some key differences that affect how well they work for different hair types and styles.
Claw clips are typically larger, with two sets of interlocking teeth that close together to hold hair in place. They are often used for updos and can be a lovely option for thick or curly hair, as they can hold a large amount of hair securely.
Jaw clips, on the other hand, are smaller, with a hinged design that opens and closes to hold hair in place. They are often used for half-up styles or for securing smaller sections of hair, and can be a good option for finer or straighter hair.
