Best Open Shape Clip
Kitsch Jumbo Open Shape Claw Clip
This large clip has an open, rectangular design that allows for some extra wiggle room (read: spillage) to ensure that your entire head of hair will be held snug.
Customer Review: "If you have thick and/or long hair, this is perfect. I struggled finding a true jumbo claw clip and this one knocks it out of the park. When I’m running around doing random chores, this clip does not budge. Functional and so cute!"

Emi Jay Sweetheart Clip in Angel Wings
While this clip isn't significantly larger than your average claw clip, it is strong. If you've had clips break or not hold your hair firmly enough, this might be the solution — especially for half-up, half-down 'dos. Celebrity fans of the Emi Jay "Big Effing Clip" include Harry Styles, who attached a clip to his Gucci luggage when traveling to Venice for Don't Worry Darling's premiere.
Customer Review: "The best claw clip I've ever purchased in my life!! I received mine yesterday and I will say I have ALOT of hair and this clip holds it all up. Doesn't budge and stays put all day. The best quality hands down. I will only buy Emi Jay hair claws from now on."

Best Extra Long Clip
Motique Accessories Wood Look Jumbo Extra Large Hair Claw Clip
If you find that your twisted-up hair tends to spill out of the top of your claw clip, you'll want to invest in an extra-long clip that has additional prongs to hold up your lengthy locks.
Customer Review: "Love these clips! Exactly what I've been looking for! Can't find them in local stores.Good quality, good resistance, holds my long hair. Already bought another one!"

Best Clip for Curly Hair
PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross Hair Clip
This hair clip is designed specifically for curly hair. The extra-long prongs and curved design are meant to hold up your curls in either a bun or a ponytail, especially if you have super thick hair.
Customer Review: "THE BEST hair clip I own! I wear it a most every day. It holds my thick, curly hair so well and it very rarely comes loose. Will definitely buy again if anything ever happens to mine LOL"

Best Dressy Hair Clip
ANBALA Gold Hair Claw Clips
Twisted gold hair clips like these are the perfect, easy, dressy up-do solution when you want a little more pizzazz in your hair with minimal effort.
Customer Review: "I’ve had these for months now and they are so sturdy and stay really well. I have medium long hair and a lot of it. May not work for fine hair though. Definitely more suited for thick hair. One of the few clips that stays and holds my hair for hours."

Best Non-Slip Clip
TOCESS Big Hair Claw Clips, Matte
These matte clips are non-slip — meaning that they'll stay put in your hair, even while running around all day (figuratively, or literally, in the case of one reviewer who wore them while playing basketball).
Customer Review: "I typically break these type of clips easily due to my long and thick hair. I am impressed with the quality of this set! First of all it stays in place, I'm a teacher and move all day and this clip stays all day! Second, it fits comfortably and doesn't pull my hair! And I have NOT broken one yet!!! I'd give it more stars if I could!"

Best Hair Barrettes
WILLBOND 6 Pieces Retro Hair Clasp Barrettes
Claw clips may be the hottest hair accessory rn but don't sleep on classic barrettes, which you can use to gently hold your hair in a low pony or half-up, half-down 'do. This barrette is wider and longer than average, with a curved shape that's designed to hold more hair.
Customer Review: "I have very thick hair and barrettes are never long enough (or is it wide?) to hold all of my hair, but these hold it in a low ponytail just fine. And they are so pretty. A good buy from a good seller."

Best Clip for Crease-Free Updos
HairZing Black Satin Cord Banana Hair Clip
If you've never heard of banana clips, you're going to love them, because they're made specifically for thick and curly hair. These unique clips will gather your locks into a crease-free ponytail with tons of volume.
Customer Review: "This is great for long, thick, wavy hair. And it's the only one I have found that will fit ALL of my hair. All the others are too small. My favorite is wearing it with wet hair fresh out of the shower. It looks fabulous, is a great way to let my hair dry naturally and give it a break from hairdryer heat damage. And my hair dries so full and curly."

Best Rubberized Clips
Generic 5.7" Large Matte Hair Clips For Thick Hair
Your long, thick, luscious hair calls for jumbo hair clips in pretty pastel colors like these Easter shades. These claw clips are finished with a rubberized coating for extra hold.
Customer Review: "I'm surprised these aren't TikTok viral. I bought an oversized clip from Altar’d State and had been searching for compatible dupes that weren’t $12 for a single clip. These are it. I have thick, naturally curly hair and these clips hold it all, no slippage. Will definitely order more."
