How to Style Thick Hair: The Best Extra Large Claw Clips

Struggling with Thick Hair? You're Not Alone

If you have thick, voluminous hair, you know the daily struggle: regular hair clips slip out, break under pressure, or simply can't hold all your hair in place. The solution? Extra large claw clips designed specifically for thick hair.

Why Size Matters for Thick Hair

Standard claw clips (typically 6-8cm) work beautifully for fine to medium hair, but thick hair needs more grip, wider teeth, and a larger opening. Our extra large claw clips (9-11.5cm) are engineered to:

  • Hold more hair - The wider opening accommodates thick ponytails and buns
  • Distribute pressure evenly - Prevents headaches from clips that grip too tightly in one spot
  • Stay secure all day - Stronger springs and deeper teeth mean no slipping
  • Reduce breakage - Smooth edges and quality materials protect your strands

5 Easy Styles for Thick Hair

1. The Classic Half-Up

Gather the top section of your hair (from temples back) and secure with your large claw clip. This style works for both casual days and professional settings, keeping hair off your face while showing off your volume.

2. The Messy Bun

Gather all your hair into a high ponytail, twist loosely, and clip at the crown. Let a few pieces fall naturally for an effortlessly chic look that takes seconds.

3. The Low Twist

Pull hair to one side at the nape of your neck, twist gently, and secure with your clip positioned vertically. Perfect for keeping hair secure during workouts or busy days.

4. The French Twist

Gather hair at the back, twist upward along your head, and secure the twist with your large clip positioned horizontally. This elegant style is perfect for special occasions.

5. The Side Sweep

Sweep all your hair to one side and clip just behind your ear. This asymmetrical look is both romantic and practical.

Choosing the Right Material

Our extra large claw clips come in different materials, each with unique benefits:

  • Tortoiseshell acetate - Luxurious, lightweight, and gentle on hair with a timeless look
  • Acrylic - Durable, available in trendy colors, and budget-friendly
  • Bone - Handmade, eco-friendly, and incredibly strong for the thickest hair

Care Tips for Your Claw Clips

To keep your clips in perfect condition:

  • Clean regularly with mild soap and water
  • Avoid leaving in direct sunlight (especially acetate clips)
  • Store flat to maintain the spring tension
  • Handle gently - even large clips can crack if dropped
