It’s good to know that there are plenty of large claw clip options for hair that is thicker, along with styling tricks, you can apply to keep your style locked in position. We asked Matrix Global Artistic Director Michelle O’Connor to share her styling tips for claw clips that work for hair with thicker. We’ve collected a selection of our most loved adorable claw clips in larger sizes.

Claw Clip Styling Ideas And Tips

Try a half up, half down look

If you’re a novice to using claw clips, it’s possible you don’t know how to style it. One of the most popular styling options is a half up and half down style. For this look, “You’re going to part your hair horizontally across in the back of the head making two halves,” says O’Connor. “You will then sweep all of your hair back and capture the top portion of your hair into a density appropriate claw clip.”

Create a waterfall like ponytail

Another fashion that O’Connor adores for curly, thicker hair is to use a claw clip for a ponytail that looks like a waterfall. Again, you’ll split the hair into 2 sections, and instead of splitting it in half and dividing it into three sections, you’ll cut off the hair in a quarter for the top and the remainder for the bottom. “You then sweep the top portion into a ponytail,” O’Connor explains. “Next you should take the bottom section and twist the hair to create a ponytail. Attach the bottom portion by using the claw clip, and you’ll get a large cascading ponytail that is shoulder length.” She suggests securing both styles with Matrix Fixer Hairspray, which holds the hair in place, but is flexible enough to allow you from making modifications to your hairstyle.

Choose the right clip

When it comes to selecting the best claw clip to match your hair’s style and texture, There are a few aspects to be aware of. “Look at features like the teeth on the claw, as well as the overall size,” O’Connor advises. “Thicker hair should gravitate towards larger teeth and sizes of claw clips overall.” It is also important to determine the quality that the claw clip has. “Open and close the claw clip you are considering purchasing,” she advises. “If the hinge or clasp is weak, you’ll be able to tell that it’s not secure enough to hold your hair. Find a stronger clasp.”

In the end, just like any hairstyle or accessories, having a base of conditioned, healthy hair is crucial. In the event that your hair happens to be curly and thick or even curly, make sure you look for healthy shampoos and conditioners that are specifically designed for the hair type you have.
