Claw Hair Clips

Claw hair clips that work for every hair type

Hold your hair up with a hair product that works across thick, fine, straight or curly textures. Hair claws are designed to grip without pulling, which makes them ideal for all-day wear. Large clips help manage heavy or long hair, while smaller styles are great for short layers or finer strands.

You’ll find a range of these hair accessories at Hairhouse to match your hair and how you like to wear it. From sleek everyday designs to bright statement pieces and handy multipacks, there’s a claw hair clip for every hair type and routine.

Hair claws for short, medium and long hair

Claw clips are one of the easiest ways to style all kinds of hair lengths. No matter your hair type, there’s a clip that works with how your hair sits and moves. If you have short hair, a small hair claw gives you a secure hold without slipping. It works well for pinning sections back or adding shape to half-up styles.

Medium and long hair need a bit more grip, which is where larger hair clips come in handy. They’re built to hold more volume and weight without pulling. You can use them to shape a full updo or a half-up style that stays in place.

Choosing between small and large claw clips

Picking the right size claw clip depends on how much hair you’re working with and the style you want. Larger clips are great if you need to hold all your hair up at once. They’re strong enough for thick, curly or layered hair and work well for full buns or twists.

Smaller clips are better for fine hair or more detailed looks, like securing fringe sections and styling face-framing pieces. You’ll find both small and large styles across our best-sellers and customer favourites, so it really comes down to what suits your hair and how you like to style it.

Can claw clips hold thick hair?

Yes, claw clips can hold thick hair when you choose the right size and shape. Look for a larger clip with a strong spring, wide grip and sturdy teeth. These are made to handle volume and texture without slipping. They work well for styling a full twist, a high bun or even a low updo if your hair is long or layered.

If you’re not sure what will suit your hair best, you can always speak with one of our Hairhouse stylists in-store. They can show you clips that work with your hair and give tips on how to style it so the clip holds without pulling or moving around.

Are claw clips better than hair ties?

Yes, claw clips can be a better option for some hair types and styles. They hold hair in place without the tension that comes from tying it back too tightly. If your scalp gets sore from pulling or you want to avoid those dents left by a tie, a clip is a good alternative.

Compared to scrunchies and other hair ties, claw clips give you stronger hold for thicker or layered styles without pulling. You can adjust them throughout the day without needing to redo your whole look.

Easy ways to style your hair with a claw clip

Claw clips are one of the simplest accessories you can use to switch up your look. They suit a wide range of hairstyles and work across all hair types, whether you’re going for something neat or a little more relaxed.

These hair claws are quick to use and easy to adjust or re-style throughout the day. You can keep one in your bag and be ready to put your hair up in seconds.

Here are a few ways to wear yours:

• Classic twist: Gather your hair at the back using a comb, twist it up and clip it in place for a clean, secure hold.
• Half-up style: Use a hair brush to smooth out the top section, then clip it back to keep hair out of your face while leaving the rest down.
• Loose bun: Wrap your hair into a low bun and clip it for a soft, casual finish.
• Side pull-back: Clip one side away to show off earrings or add shape to your style.
• Layered hold: Use two smaller clips to hold layered pieces or create soft twists on either side.

What materials are claw clips made from?

Hair claws are usually made from acetate or acrylic. If you want a clip that feels smooth against the hair, choose acetate. It’s more durable and gentler, with soft edges that won’t cause snagging. Acrylic clips are lighter and come in all kinds of colours and shapes, so they’re easy to mix and match.

Why are claw clips a popular hair accessory?

Claw clips are popular because they’re practical, gentle and stylish all at once. They make putting your hair up effortless, without the breakage or tension that can come from other hair accessories. Whether for casual days or special occasions, they’re a reliable choice that complements any look.

These hair clips have earned their place as everyday favourites for a good reason. With so many styles and colours to choose from, it’s easy to see why they’re on so many wishlists.
