Claw clips are having a big moment. From Bella Hadid to Hailey Bieber, celebrities and supermodels have brought back the ‘90s accessory trend, and we’re seeing it all over our feeds right now. This time around, it’s giving less Claire’s Accessories and more supermodel vibes. And we’re seeing claw clip hairstyles all over our feeds right now.
It’s perhaps unsurprising that the hair accessory has made such a big comeback. They look good on every hair texture and are a saving grace for when your hair just isn’t behaving as it should, or if you’re pushing your hair washday back. We’ve even spotted people applying a hair mask and twisting their hair up with a claw clip while it sinks in—chic and practical.
There are so many claw-clip hairstyles to try. Why not take a look below for some claw-clip inspiration?
