Claw Clips for Hair

Choose a claw clip for your hair and hairstyle

The right claw clip depends on how much hair you want to hold and the look you want to create. A smaller clip works well for pinning back a section, while a larger hair claw gives you more room for a full updo. From everyday shapes to decorative metal and flower designs, this collection offers options for casual twists, neat buns and dressed up styles.

Start with your hairstyle rather than size alone. A clip for a half-up look needs to hold less hair than one for a full twist, even if your hair is thick. For fine hair, a medium claw with inner teeth can be a useful choice when you want a secure grip without choosing an oversized shape.

Find the shape that suits your routine

• Small and medium claws for lighter sections: Choose a small clip to sweep back part of your hair or create a half-up style. Medium claws are a practical everyday option when you want to gather more hair without the bulk of a jumbo design.
• Large and jumbo claws for fuller updos: These sizes give thick or voluminous hair more space. Look for long, widely spaced teeth when you want to gather a substantial amount of hair into a twist or bun.
• Flat claw clips for an everyday alternative: The SOHO flat designs combine a flatter shape with an ergonomic construction and strong grip. Choose them when you prefer a less bulky look for your daily hairstyle.
• Metal claws for a polished accent: Styles such as SOHO Kana, Selin and London make the clip part of the finished look. They are an easy way to add shine to a casual bun or make a simple updo feel more considered.
• Flower and embellished claws for a statement: SOHO Bloom and Moana bring a playful floral focal point to your hair. For a more dressed up finish, the Chris Rubin Jasmine hair claw combines metal, flowers and rhinestones.

Choose a finish to match your wardrobe

Matte finishes give an understated look, while glossy designs make the accessory stand out. Tortoiseshell patterns offer a classic option that is easy to pair with everyday outfits. Acetate styles with a marbled finish bring pattern into the look, while metal claws offer a different, jewellery-inspired feel.

Colourful flower shapes are a good choice when you want your clip to be the main detail. Prefer something more subtle? A simple shape or a metal style can complement your outfit without competing with it.

Match the clip to the look you want

For a casual updo, gather and twist your hair before securing it with a claw that has room for the full section. For a half-up style, clip back only the upper section and leave the rest loose. Flower claws such as SOHO Bloom can also be used to hold hair in a bun or ponytail, giving a familiar style a decorative finish.
