Glossy lips, beaded jewellery, claw clips, and almost every beauty and fashion trend that was all the rage in the roaring 90s are making a comeback but with a Gen-Z twist. Beauty and fashion trends have always been cyclical in nature, with the good ones always making their way back into the next generation.
One such trend that we can get behind is the humungous claw clips our mothers used to own and style. These clips held all of our hair without the pain or weight of pesky rubber bands and banana clips. Not only do these claw clips keep our hair in place, but they also keep irksome flyaways and baby hair in place when you are on the go.
Let’s look at some claw clip hairdos you can try that are not only great for keeping your hair in place but also add a sophisticated appeal to your look.

Claw clips are really good hair accessories because not only do they contain all of your hair, but they are versatile as they suit literally every outfit you adorn. They are also very handy, easy to use, and forever in trend. And unlike rubber bands or elastic hair ties, a claw clip won’t pull, tug, or break your hair when you open it. Moreover, you don’t need a comb, you can always use your hands and run them through your hair before wearing the claw clip because this accessory does the job of a comb as well.
FAQs
-
How to style your hair with a claw clip?
Use a volumising hair spray or dry shampoo to get rid of any greasiness that can weigh your hair down. Claw clips hold all of your hair and flat or oily hair strands can make your final look appear unaesthetic. Make sure your hair has a bounce near the scalp for a balanced look. You can either take some of your hair or all of it while styling a claw clip.
-
Do claw clips tug at the hair?
No, unlike elastic bands or hair ties that pull your hair in a knot, a claw clip doesn’t pull or tug your hair in any way. It simply holds all your hair together and when you open your hair none of the strands get stuck or break apart.
-
Can I wear my hair in a claw clip every day?
Yes, you can wear a claw clip every day because it doesn’t break, pull, or tug your hair.
