Fine hair can be beautifully easy to style once you have the right claw clip. Here are our favourite tips for choosing and wearing a claw clip that stays put all day.
How do you use a claw clip with fine hair?
One important thing to keep in mind when using a claw clip with fine hair is to choose the right size. A clip that is too small won't hold enough hair, while a clip that is too large may feel heavy and slip out. It's worth finding a clip that is just the right size for the amount of hair you are holding.
Our claw clips for fine hair are designed with teeth that overlap slightly, giving you a secure hold that helps keep flyaways in place.
All of our French Handmade claws go through a three-step polishing process for an exceptionally smooth finish, so they are gentle on your hair.
Another tip for using a claw clip with fine hair is to tease the hair at the crown gently before securing the clip. This gives the hair more volume and texture, making it easier for the clip to grip. A little hairspray or texturising spray can also add grip and hold, helping your style stay in place.
How do you make your hair look thicker with a claw clip?
To use a claw clip to make your hair appear thicker, start by sectioning your hair. Take a small section of hair near your crown and tease it gently with a comb to create volume and texture. Next, gather the teased section and secure it with a claw clip. Repeat with the rest of your hair, focusing on the areas where you would like more volume. The result is a fuller-looking hairstyle that's easy to achieve in a few simple steps. This is especially helpful if you have fine or thinning hair and would like a little extra volume.
While a claw clip won't actually make your hair thicker, it can help you achieve the appearance of thicker hair.
How do you keep thin hair in a claw clip?
At TEGEN, we love helping you find the best hair clips for fine hair. When it comes to keeping thin hair in a claw clip, choosing the right one makes all the difference. The wrong clip can slip out of place, leaving you with an untidy style. Here are some things to consider when choosing a claw clip.
Size and shape
A clip that is too small will not be able to hold all of your hair, while one that is too large will feel loose and may slip out. The shape of the clip matters too, as it affects how well it fits the contours of your head.
Material
The material of the claw clip is another important factor. Plastic clips are lightweight, but they do not tend to hold up well over time. Metal clips are more durable, but they can be heavy and may be harsh on your hair. Our French Handmade clips are made from cellulose acetate, a plant-based material that is strong yet flexible and kind to your hair. They are polished and smoothed by hand, so they are gentle on fine hair.
Tension
The tension of the claw clip is also important. If the clip is too tight, it can feel uncomfortable. If it is too loose, it will not hold your hair in place. Our claws for fine hair are designed to give a comfortable, secure hold that is kind to your hair.
