What Are The Benefits Of Using Claw Clips?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The biggest benefit of claw clips for thick hair is that they provide secure hold without breakage or tension, making them perfect for everyday styling. Claw clips are great for those who love ponytails but hate the breakage that\u2019s associated with the classic updo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easy to remove claw clips without the hair suffering from the normal indents and creases that are created from ponytail holders, barrettes, and other hair accessories,\u201d says Rivera, adding that \u201cclaw clips are terrific for pulling the hair back fully or in sections.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rauchet agrees: \u201cThey allow for less tension and less manipulation of the hair shaft.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Claw Clips Do\u2019s And Don\u2019ts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As with most beauty hacks, there are do\u2019s and dont\u2019s when it comes to claw clips. Rauchet breaks them down below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DO<\/strong> Find a claw clip that works for your hair type or, more specifically, one \u201cthat suits your thickness.\u201d Not all clips are created equal. A simple rule of thumb? \u201cIf you feel any pulling or struggle to gather all of your hair in a clip, it\u2019s not the correct size,\u201d says Rauchet. \u201cSize up!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DON\u2019T<\/strong> jam up the clip. \u201cIf you just start roughing the hair into it you may get some strands of hair stuck in the mechanics of the clip and end up pulling and causing breakage,\u201d shares Rauchet. \u201cLess is more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DO<\/strong> your research. \u201cInvesting in an expensive, heavy duty clip is usually best,\u201d adds Rauchet. \u201cUsing two clips to get all the hair up defeats the purpose of it looking fashionable. Go for the larger size!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping the hair hydrated with a leave-in conditioner<\/a> is key when using claw clips. Not only does the leave-in keep hair healthy, but it also makes it a lot more manageable when it comes to styling. Rivera recommends opting for a leave-in conditioner that boasts hair-boosting ingredients like biotin, collagen, and B vitamins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Easiest Claw Clip Hairstyles For Thick Hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s true what they say: Thick hair doesn’t care\u2014especially if claw clips are involved. These three claw clip hairstyles for thick hair work whether you\u2019re wondering how to use a claw clip with long thick hair, short thick hair, or anything in between. These expert-approved looks are easy to try at home. Find your best match below and try them out yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hairstyle #1:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To learn how to use a claw clip with long thick hair, start with this twist. Gather the hair slightly above the nape of the neck, twist hair in one direction to create a French twist, then clip the twisted portion to the scalp. Allow remaining hair to cascade out of the top of the clip at the crown for a fun and messy look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hairstyle #2:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the easiest ways to claw clip short thick hair or layered thick hair. Simply pull the hair above the ears back and clip into place, mid-crown on the back of your head. For extra height, tease the hair at the top of the crown and gently comb or brush the top layer of the hair over the teased portion prior to holding into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hairstyle #3:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re figuring out how to use a claw clip with thick hair for everyday styling, this low pony look is a great choice. Gather the hair at the nape of the neck. Twist the hair 2-3 times counterclockwise, depending on the hair length. Place the claw clip low on the scalp over the twisted hair. Allow the remaining hair to create a ponytail that drapes over the top of the claw clip. Pull out a few face-framing hair for an effortlessly charming look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
