How to Stop Your Hair From Falling Out of a Claw Clip 🎀
Your claw clip is technically holding your hair...
But somehow half your hair has escaped within ten minutes.
Sound familiar?
Whether you have thick, thin, straight or wavy hair, these tricks can help your claw-clip hairstyle stay in place for longer.
1. Don't Just Scoop and Clip
The easiest mistake is gathering your hair into a ponytail shape and immediately clipping it.
Instead, twist your hair first.
A twist creates structure and gives the clip something to grip.
2. Place the Clip Correctly
Try placing the clip where your twisted hair has the most volume.
If the clip is sitting too low or only gripping a thin section of hair, it may slide down.
3. Choose a Clip Based on Your Hair Volume
Your hair doesn't have to fit the clip.
The clip needs to fit your hair.
Thin hair generally needs a smaller or more precise grip, while thick hair may require a larger clip with longer teeth.
4. Try a Half-Up Style
If your hair keeps escaping from a full updo, try a half-up claw clip.
It's easier to secure and gives you a cute hairstyle without having to hold your entire hair volume.
5. Add a Little Texture
Very smooth hair can sometimes be difficult for clips to grip.
A little texture can make a noticeable difference.
Avoid making your hair extremely slippery immediately before styling if you're struggling with hold.
6. Don't Ignore the Clip
If you've tried everything and your hair still falls out, your clip may simply not be suitable for your hair.
A clip with weak teeth or a loose spring won't suddenly become stronger because of a different hairstyle.
💗 The Simple Formula
Right clip + right placement + right technique = better hold.
Once you understand what works for your hair, claw-clip hairstyles become much easier.
