Best Jumbo Claw Clips: FP Movement Jumbo Claw Clip
Why it’s worth it: Long, voluminous hair deserves just as much claw clip love as those with shorter locks. Free People agrees, and the FP Movement Jumbo Claw Clip is proof. This chic, boxy XL clip easily keeps all your hair in place and securely in place all day long, whether you’re at the office, working up a sweat in spin class, or running errands. It comes in three gorgeous colors and features the gold FP Movement logo.
Tester feedback: “When I’m doing my braids, I love using claw clips to create cute half-up styles, but finding clips that were the right length and width for my braids was a struggle… until I tried the FP Movement Jumbo Claw Clip,” says associate beauty editor Annie Blay. “These clips are seriously huge, and they’re so helpful in holding my braids together without straining my head. Not to mention, the matte finish is sleek and stylish.”

Best Metal Claw Clips: Kitsch Open Shape Claw Clip
Why it’s worth it: We love a gold moment, and the Kitsch Open Shape Claw Clips fulfill that moment in style. The metal construction allows for extra gathering at the back of the head, and the super strong springs keep it in place. It fits all hair textures and types (including curly and fine hair), making it the new best-case scenario.
Tester feedback: Executive Beauty Director Jenny Bailey is a fan of claw clips, but this one from Kitsch is a particular standout: “Claw clips have been a favorite of mine since the early ’90s, and this Kitsch version is the most elegant evolution from the plastic hunks I used back then. The minimalist silhouette lets your hair color and texture take center stage, complementing your other (usually gold) accessories instead of competing with them.”
