If you have thick, curly, or coily hair, you've definitely felt this frustration:
- "One size fits all" claws that are way too small to even wrap around your ponytail
- Claws that break the first time you try to close them around your thick hair
- Claws that barely hold half your hair, leaving the rest to fall out by lunchtime
- Wasting money on claws that say "for thick hair" but are just flimsy plastic
We saw this complaint over and over on Reddit: "I need claws that can actually hold my thick hair. Most are too small or too weak." ā u/Expert-Ebb7606
So we tested 6 large claws to find the ones that actually work for thick/coily hair.
š The Thick Hair Test: Can These Claws Handle It?
We tested each claw on hair that was at least 4 inches thick when pulled into a ponytail. Here's what we found:
- Claws under 4 inches wide: All of them couldn't close fully around the thick hair. Some broke trying.
- 4-inch claws: Some could hold the hair, but it was tight and uncomfortable, and many slipped out by the end of the day.
- 5-inch wide, heavy-duty claws: These were the only ones that could fully wrap around thick hair, hold it securely, and stay comfortable all day.
This matches the top-rated large claw we saw mentioned on Reddit: "The 5-inch claws are the only ones that work for my super thick hair. I can finally fit all my hair in one clip." ā u/twashtwuck
š¬ What Reddit's Thick Hair Community Is Saying
"I love my vintage-style claw clips! The ones with rounded claws are way more comfortable than the straight ones, especially for thick hair." ā u/BlueK
"The only claws that work for my thick, long hair are the large, heavy-duty ones ā most are too flimsy." ā u/SavingsUniversity26
