Quick Answer
For thick hair, the XL Lemon and Flowers Hair Claw Clip delivers a secure hold when you twist your hair into a low bun and clip it horizontally. Follow the steps below to keep it in place all day.
Why the XL Size Matters for Thick Hair
The XL Lemon and Flowers Hair Claw Clip measures approximately 5.5" x 3" x 2", giving it a wide jaw that can grip a substantial amount of hair. Unlike smaller clips that struggle to close fully on thick hair, the XL size allows for a full closure without pulling or straining your strands. This is key for avoiding tension headaches and ensuring the clip stays put.
The Trade-Off: Volume vs. Comfort
While the XL clip provides impressive hold, its size can feel heavy if you have very long or dense hair. To balance volume and comfort, avoid overloading the clip with too much hair. Instead, aim for a neat, twisted bun that fits within the clip's jaw. If you feel any pulling, loosen the twist slightly—the clip should hug your hair, not squeeze it.
Step-by-Step: Secure Bun with the XL Lemon and Flowers Clip
- Prep Your Hair: Start with dry or slightly textured hair. Brush thoroughly to remove tangles, then gather your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. For extra grip, apply a light texturizing spray or dry shampoo. Check that your hair is completely tangle-free to prevent the clip from snagging.
- Twist into a Bun: Twist the ponytail tightly until it starts to coil, then wrap it around the base to form a bun. Tuck the ends underneath to create a smooth, compact shape. The bun should be smaller than the clip's jaw. If the bun is too loose, re-twist more tightly; if it's too large, remove a small section of hair and start over.
- Position the Clip Horizontally: Hold the XL Lemon and Flowers Hair Claw Clip with the teeth pointing down. Place it over the bun, with the top jaw resting on the top of the bun and the bottom jaw underneath. Press firmly to close, ensuring the teeth catch the base of the bun and some scalp hair for a secure anchor. The clip should feel snug but not painful. Adjust the angle if you feel any pulling on your scalp.
- Secure and Adjust: Give the clip a gentle tug to test the hold. If it feels loose, reposition it slightly lower or re-twist the bun tighter. For extra security, you can insert a few bobby pins around the edges of the clip to lock it in place. Do a quick shake test: if the clip stays put when you nod your head, you're good to go.
