One of the most popular ’90s hair trends, the claw clip, is a pretty easy accessory to wear for any hair type and texture. However, people with super long and heavy hair may find it difficult to keep the clip in place. If this sounds familiar but you want to embrace the claw clip trend, we’ve got you covered. In this article, you’ll learn three ways to style very long and thick hair with a claw clip which will ensure it stays put.
If you like a chilled look, here’s one for you. “This easy hairstyle is perfect if you have long or thick hair! It holds well and stays in place. I love this for summer, pool & beach days, or just running errands.” – says Kait, a blogger and creator of this popular video.
The trick is to start with a ponytail – this will help to keep all your hair together and will prevent it from sagging. Then twist your hair, pull it up and secure with a reasonable size clip. Split the hanging ends into two parts, half-open the claw clip and tuck them in on both sides. Bonus points if you curl your hair beforehand.
This updo looks super sophisticated thanks to its braided texture. Yet once you watch the video, you’ll realise it’s way easier to make than you think at first glance.
Essentially, you need to make two Dutch braids, join them together at the back, then twist, wrap and put a clip on top. It’s literally a 10-minute hairstyle.
The braids not only look cute but also ensure all the hair stays put. However, if you are still anxious, why not use a hairband for extra safety, like in the previous video?
Add little details like face framing or gently pulling the braids to make them look fuller.
Probably the most long-lasting of all three, this hairstyle is also quick and easy to make.
Start with a ponytail and position it about 3 inches above your neck. On the last wrap, leave your hair in a loop. Twist your ponytail the way that the loop appears at the bottom. Then fold the top section in half and put your claw clip straight in the middle. The top and the bottom loops will look like a big bow.
The fact the claw is placed right on top of the hair band will make this updo beyond secure.
Now you have to dare and try a so-popular claw clip updo if you haven’t yet. Placing your clip higher up will help to fight against gravity and keep your hairstyle in place throughout the day. Also, the most important thing is to choose the right accessory. For long and heavy hair, you need a strong and fairly large claw clip.
