How it works

    Gather and twist

    Pull your hair back and twist it up the back of your head.

    Open the clip

    Squeeze the top edges so the teeth open wide.

  3. 3

    Press the teeth in over the twist and let go. Loosen a few strands if you like.

Questions, answered

Will it hold my thick hair?

It holds a twist of medium to fairly thick hair well. For very thick, long hair, use it for a low knot or a half-up style rather than a tight high bun.

Is it just plastic?

No. It's cut from acetate sheet and baked to a deep gloss, the material many premium hair clips use. It feels smoother and looks richer than moulded plastic, more like a tortoiseshell sunglasses frame.

How big is it?

It's a palm-size rectangle clip that fits easily in your hand, a coat pocket or a small bag. Packed, it measures about 7 x 3 x 4 cm.

Can I lie back or lean on it?

A claw clip sits out from your head, so leaning back on it isn't comfortable. For long drives, clip a low knot at the nape instead.

What colour exactly is it?

Light tortoise: a warm honey base with dark brown spots. It looks warm and rich against blonde, brown, red and grey hair.
