 Hematite Open Shape Claw Clip

Most Helpful Positive Review

Surprised at how great it is

Very sturdy, with thicker metal than I was expecting. It holds hair pretty snugly because the teeth interlock closer than a lot of other clips.I bought this feeling certain that it would not hold all my hair - but no clips, even much wider, more circular ones, do either. The slimness of the claw are...a made me think that I would just be able to pull half my hair back away from my face, which I thought would still be worth it because of the metal construction and it being much less likely that the teeth would ever break or the body would ever crack. However, as it turns out, if I make a top knot I can strategically position the clip so that it holds all my hair in place high up on my head (clipping in front of the knot). And it actually stays. I've cleaned the house with it up like that, gone on walks, even napped, and it has stayed in position better than if I put it up with rubber bands/hair bows. It gets looser over hours but has not fallen out like my other clips, ever. If you bought 2 (of these full-sized ones, not the minis) and clipped them on either side of a bun or top knot it would probably be even more secure, but as 1 is serving me fine I'm not in a rush to buy another one just yet, though I do recommend these. For reference I have thick, wavy hair that comes to about 3 inches above my elbows. And just 1 works for all my hair.I love that it came in gold and not just silver.I love that it's sturdy metal. I think the price is fully justified. This is not the cheapest clip you can buy but it is completely worth it for me.I was worried that some reviews said it was so heavy it falls out of hair but again, the teeth interlock so that it fits really snugly and securely in hair so that has not been a problem. I imagine if you had very, very thin/fine hair it might be, but then you could probably just buy the minis which would be lighter and better for holding small amounts of hair.
