How to Style Claw Clips for Every Hair Type

Claw clips have taken over Pakistan's hair accessory scene — and if you've been scrolling through TikTok or Instagram lately, you've seen them everywhere. From quick morning buns to elegant twisted updos, the right claw clip can transform your hair in seconds. But not all claw clips work the same way for every hair type. Here's our complete guide to styling claw clips for every hair type, from thick and wavy to fine and straight.

Choosing the Right Claw Clip Size

Before we get into styling, the most important thing to get right is size. A claw clip that's too small for your hair volume will slide out within minutes. Here's a quick guide:

• Fine or thin hair: 5–6cm clips work well for everyday styles
• Medium hair: 6–7cm clips offer a good balance of grip and style
• Thick, wavy, or voluminous hair: Go for 7cm+ clips or XL options for a secure hold all day

Our Flower Claw Hair Clip is a 7cm clip that works beautifully for medium to thick hair, while our XL options are specifically designed for high-volume hair.

How to Style Claw Clips for Thick or Wavy Hair

Thick and wavy hair is the most common hair type in Pakistan, and it's also where most claw clip struggles happen. The key is to use a larger clip and not fight your hair's natural volume.

The Classic Half-Up Claw Bun

1. Gather the top two-thirds of your hair into your hand, as if making a high ponytail
2. Twist the hair loosely two or three times
3. Fold the twisted section back towards your scalp and clip it in place
4. Let the ends fan out naturally above the clip for that effortless look

Tip: Use a 7cm+ clip like our Flower Claw for thick hair. Don't over-tighten — a slight looseness makes it look more intentional and elegant.

The Messy Bun

1. Gather all your hair loosely at the back of your head
2. Twist into a loose bun without pulling too tightly
3. Clip the claw through the bun, securing it against your scalp
4. Pull out a few face-framing pieces for a relaxed, natural look

How to Style Claw Clips for Fine or Straight Hair

Fine hair needs a slightly different approach. Smaller clips with more teeth can grip thin hair better than larger clips.

The Twisted Half-Up

1. Take a section of hair from each temple
2. Twist both sections back towards the crown
3. Secure with a smaller claw clip at the back
4. Leave the rest of your hair down for a pretty, pulled-back look

The Low Twist

1. Gather all your hair into a low, loose bun at the nape of your neck
2. Twist lightly and secure with a clip
3. Pull out a few face-framing strands for softness

How to Style Claw Clips for Curly Hair

Curly hair and claw clips are a match made in heaven — the clip holds volume without flattening curls. The key is to avoid over-twisting before clipping.

The Pineapple Updo

1. Flip all your hair forward
2. Gather it loosely at the very top of your head
3. Clip loosely to maintain curl volume
4. Gently shake out and adjust for shape

Quick Tips for Every Hair Type

• Always clip on slightly damp or day-two hair for the best hold — freshly washed hair can be too slippery
• Don't force the clip closed if it feels tight — this breaks the clip and damages your hair
• Store your clips flat to preserve their shape
• Match the clip style to your outfit — floral clips for casual looks, metallic clips for formal occasions
