Claw Clip Keeps Breaking? Here's Why & How to Choose a Stronger One
You've finally found a claw clip you love.
You wear it everywhere.
And then one day...
CRACK.
The spring breaks. A tooth snaps. Or the entire clip suddenly gives up.
If this keeps happening, here's what might be going wrong.
Why Do Claw Clips Break?
1. The Clip Is Too Small for Your Hair
Trying to squeeze a large amount of thick hair into a tiny clip puts unnecessary pressure on the clip.
If you have a lot of hair, choose a size designed to accommodate it.
2. You're Stretching the Clip Too Far
If you're forcing the jaws open wider than they're designed to go, the spring and plastic can experience additional stress.
Instead, use a clip that's naturally large enough for your hairstyle.
3. The Material Isn't Strong Enough
Not all claw clips are made the same.
Very thin plastic can be more prone to cracking, especially when the clip is regularly opened and closed.
When buying a claw clip, look for a sturdy construction and a spring that feels secure.
4. You're Carrying It Loose in Your Bag
This one is surprisingly common.
A claw clip thrown into a bag with keys, bottles and other objects can easily get pressed or bent.
Try keeping it in a small pouch when you're not wearing it.
How to Choose a Stronger Claw Clip
Before buying your next claw clip, check:
✔ Size: Is it suitable for your hair volume?
✔ Teeth: Are they sturdy and long enough to grip?
✔ Spring: Does it feel secure when opening and closing?
✔ Build: Does the clip feel solid rather than flimsy?
✔ Comfort: Can you wear it without pulling your hair?
🎀 One More Thing
The strongest clip isn't necessarily the biggest clip.
The best claw clip is the one that matches your hair type, hair volume and hairstyle.
So instead of asking, “Which clip looks cutest?”
Also ask:
“Which clip can actually hold my hair?”
That's where the difference is.
