We wore this large claw clip on two hair types for two weeks to see if it really holds a thick bun without slipping.

The Bottom Line

For the price, this claw clip punches above its weight, it held a thick bun securely through a full workday in our tests, and the matte finish keeps it looking more expensive than it is.

What We Tested

We tried it on two different hair types, thick and wavy, and fine and straight, styling a bun and a half-up style each day for two weeks, and noted how often it needed readjusting.

Grip and Hold

The teeth have enough bite to hold thick hair without slipping, and even on fine hair it stayed in place through a full day, only needing a re-clip after intense movement like exercise.

Size and Comfort

At roughly 4.5 inches, it's large enough for a full head of medium to long hair, and the rounded teeth didn't snag or pull hair the way some cheaper claw clips do.

Where It Falls Short

The plastic is lightweight, which helps comfort but means it's not as sturdy as an acetate clip, and dropping it on a hard floor can chip the finish at the hinge. It also runs large, so it may look oversized on very short hair.

The Verdict

With over 4,000 sold and a 4.5-star rating from more than 560 reviewers, this claw clip is a low-cost way to get a secure hold without the price tag of a designer version.
