I was skeptical when I saw these touted on social media, but they are the BEST LARGE CLAW CLIPS I'VE EVER OWNED! I started using this style of clip back in the late 90s because I have very thick, wavy-in-a-crazy-way hair. I'm not good at styling my hair, and wearing it up in any kind of bun or pony tail is painful because of the weight, so these types of clips are perfect. However, finding one that could actually contain and hold my hair was no small feat. So many of the ones I'd find were laughably small, and too many of the large ones had weak springs that were no match for my hair. Occasionally I'd find a winner, but after a short while the teeth would start to break, eventually leaving none in the middle and I'd have to start my search for a new one. In recent years it's become harder and harder to find large enough clips in the stores, and I was always wary of buying online because I couldn't test the strength of the spring before purchasing. I finally found one at a local beauty store, but sure enough the teeth started to break off almost immediately. Then I saw these featured on one of those "best Amazon products" lists that go around and the reviews from thick-haired girls like me were promising, plus the price was right for a 4-pack, so I took the chance. When they arrived, I was immediately unsure, because they are smaller than most of the ones I've had in the past. But to my surprise, THEY WORK, and not only that, they work BETTER than the rest I've owned. I often had to adjust the others every few hours, but these hold tight with no little bits of hair slipping out. I think maybe it's because they have these little spikes on the inside that help to grip. And while they are smaller than expected, the way they are shaped seems to allow more space for my hair than the larger ones, surprisingly. Also, the plastic isn't as rigid/brittle as my past ones, so I've worn these almost daily for over 3 months and not a single tooth has broken! I didn't think that was possible! The only downside I've found is that the matte finish has started to wear off, especially at the tips of the teeth, but the plastic underneath is the same color as far as I've noticed, so it's not that obvious and when I'm wearing the clip, the teeth are hidden in my hair anyhow. I will overlook the finish issues for the great clip performance. (I will say I'm skeptical of the shiny metal versions - those look like the "bad" stiffer plastic that my old clips were made of - but the matte black/beige/pink/green pack is what I bought and they are my favorite clips ever.) And even though I'm about to do my usual fall hair cut that will make my hair too short for these til spring, I'm about to order more (turquoise/blue/yellow/red) so I have them next summer.TL:DR: Best hair clips ever, even for my impossible-to-hold thick, wavy hair. Give them a try!I haven't even been using these for a full day yet, but I just absolutely HAVE to write a review already. I have ridiculously long and thick hair, as shown in the photos. But after 3 years of having to wear my hair up in a bun everyday at work, it is breaking off at the top. I knew I needed to get rid of the elastics and attempt something else, but the problem was that I have tried literally dozens of claw clips of all shapes and sizes and nothing has worked for my hair. Until now. These are easy to use. I am able to twist my hair multiple times around and these claws still not only grip my hair, but it holds everything in place. I have walked 5 miles so far at work this morning alone, and I have not had to readjust the clip one time. We'll see how long they last before breaking, but so far I cannot recommend these enough!I bought these hair clips strictly because I wanted to see what the hype was about. I have crazy thick, really long hair, so being able to use a hair clip has never been easy for me. I LOVE THESE THINGS. They are comfortable to wear, they stay for hours, and they are soft. They don’t give you that sharp pain from hair being pulled weird, and they are so comfortable that I actually fell asleep wearing one the other night.Will have to order more, but only because my mom borrowed one and has since stolen it. ?The feels is great, nice large size, and they are exactly as pictured. I was nervous the gold wouldn’t shine as well as it does in photos, but they look even better in person. Now, I wish I could do a 4.5 rating, but the reason I’m giving it four stars is that it takes a little more umph to open them. I bought 4 packs of hair clips including these, and these just make me a little nervous that I’ll break them due to the slightly more needed effort to open them up. Other than that, maybe I just need to get used to them but great quality would recommend to buy for yourself or as a gift, bunch of great color variety, and the box it comes in is so nice to store them in.I was a bit skeptical as I have long and thick hair and have yet to find a clip that holds all my hair up. This clip is amazing! It held all my hair up ALL day! Only 4 stars for durability as I am only on day 2. A lot of my clips fail (spring breaks) around the 30 day mark. If it makes it to 30 days I will change it to 5 stars.These hair clips are not like the clips we find in stores. The matte finish makes these clips look more upscale and blend in better with your hair, not like the shiny plastic clips that are cheap looking. Plus, these clips hold up my thick hair really well. I definitely recommend.It’s been along time since I trusted my thick, auburn hair to any kind of banana clip. I’ve literally had clips explode/break while I’ve been wearing them. These are so strong, look cute, and don’t give me the “hair headache” I often get with hair elastics. 12/10 and will buy more colors.Strong and sturdy. I have long hair and usually have to reposition my claw 4 times a day. So far with this one I have not had to make any adjustments and I don’t need to use a hair tie to help keep my hair up. Highly recommend!!!I have extremely long hair and these seem to hold up fairly nicely. I have broken two (teeth) in the two months I’ve been wearing every single day. Would still recommend because I sleep with them and wear them almost constantly which could account for the broken teeth. And I break clips often but these seem to be holding up well enoughI LOVE these claw clips. The colours are beautiful and the keep my hair in place better than other clips. Soft matte feel. The shipping took a while but they were worth the price and wait.I like these, but they are just a bit too heavy in my hair. They end up slowly sliding down to the back of my neck, pulling the hair down with it. Seem well made and are strong clips, so they're probably great for thicker or curly hair. My wavy, medium thick, long hair just didn't work.J’ai commandé le lot de 4 pinces et j’ai seulement reçu 2 pinces. J’ai contacté le vendeur et en moins de 24h, on m’a recontacté! Très sympathique, rapide et très coopératif! De plus, les pinces sont super belles et assez robustes (j’ai beaucoup de cheveux et ils sont vraiment épais)! J’adore et je recommande! Compte rendu : ils vont me renvoyer les 2 pinces manquantes sans que j’aille aucun frais à débourser! *Seul point négatif est que la livraison peut prendre assez de temps (presque 1 mois 1/2), mais cela en vaut vraiment la peine!!!!*Exactly what I wanted. A big claw clip that holds everything securely. I have never had a clip that felt this secure, I feel like you could run with it in and everything would stay in place!
