Officially a claw clip girly 👌🏻😍

2025/2/19 Edited to

... Read moreYou know that feeling when you see a super cute hairstyle online, but then you try it with your thick, long hair and it just... doesn't work? That was me with claw clips for the longest time! I honestly thought my dark, voluminous hair was just too much for them. But guess what? I was wrong, and I'm so excited to share the simple hacks I've learned to make them work wonders. If you've been struggling, this is for you! Claw clips are a game-changer for quick, stylish hair, gentler than traditional hair ties, and instantly elevate any casual look – perfect for teaming with your favorite cozy sweatshirt, perhaps while sipping on a coffee from one of those cute illustrated cups! My Go-To: The Simple Half-Up Claw Clip for Thick Long Hair This is my everyday savior. It's incredibly easy and keeps my dark hair out of my face without feeling too formal. Here’s how I do it: Sectioning is Key: I part my hair horizontally from ear to ear, creating a clean top section. Gather & Twist: I gather this top section, smoothing it. For extra hold with thick hair, I sometimes give it a gentle twist before bringing it up. Clip & Secure: Using a large, sturdy claw clip, I open it wide and secure the twisted section. Make sure the teeth really grip your hair, especially at the base. You want it to feel secure but not tight. I love this style with my hoop earrings – it just pulls the whole look together effortlessly. It’s amazing how a simple clip can make you feel so put-together! The Effortless Claw Clip Ponytail Hack A full claw clip ponytail for thick hair can be tricky – it often slides down or feels like it’s about to give up. But I found a hack that truly works! Low Ponytail Base: Gather all your hair into a low ponytail, as if you were going to use a regular hair tie, but just hold it firmly. Twist Upwards: Twist the entire ponytail upwards towards your head. Keep twisting until it forms a neat coil against your scalp, reaching either the crown or just below it. Secure with a Large Clip: Take your large claw clip and place it over the twisted hair, securing it flat against your head. The key is to catch both the twisted hair and some hair from your scalp underneath for maximum grip. The ends of your hair will then fan out like a chic, voluminous ponytail. This trick is fantastic because the twist creates a more solid base for the clip, preventing it from slipping. It’s perfect for when I want a secure yet relaxed ponytail that lasts all day, even when I'm bustling around getting ready for holiday decorations! Choosing the Right Claw Clip for Your Hair Not all claw clips are created equal, especially for thick hair! Size Matters: Go for larger clips. Mini clips are cute, but for holding a half-up or full ponytail on thick hair, you need something substantial. Strong Grip: Look for clips with strong springs and sturdy teeth. Metal springs are often more durable. Material: Acrylic or cellulose acetate clips are generally better quality and more robust than cheap plastic ones, and they look nicer too! Shape: Curved or banana-like shapes can sometimes accommodate more hair than flatter, rectangular ones. I used to just grab any clip, but investing in good quality, larger clips totally transformed my hair routine. If you have thick, long hair like mine, don't give up on claw clips – just find the right technique and the right clip, and you'll be rocking these cute, simple styles in no time!
