Shein gets a bad rap for low quality products (and some very questionable business practices), but according to blogger Sanaa Brown, these claw clips are strong enough to hold her natural Type 4 curls as demonstrated in her styling video. What We Don't Like: The insanely low cost comes at the price of shopping from a fast fashion brand with questionable business practices. What We Like: Even Type 4 curls stay put with this clip. Quantity: 1 | Colorways: 2 | Size: 4.75 W x 2.4 H x 1.6 D inches

Plus, we love that it's made from recycled materials. "I can see myself wearing it out on a date or out to dinner with friends because the design is fun but neutral and goes with just about everything," says Honkus. Honkus is also a fan of the square shape and tortoise shell design. "It even manages to keep my hair in place when I'm out running errands, not just sitting around doing my makeup which is nice." Celebrity hairstylist Allie Ellis owns a ton of the jumbo clips since they work well on her curly hair and boast a "designer look" for a reasonable price. "I love how big it is - the sheer size allows it to securely hold my thick, almost waist-length hair without a problem," says InStyle Commerce Editor Mary Honkus. What We Don't Like: Skip this if your hair is on the shorter side.Īnyone wary of claw clips because they have long hair, give this jumbo sized beauty a chance. What We Like: You can wrangle waist-length hair with this elegant design. Quantity: Set of 5 | Colorways: 2 | Size: 3.35 x 1.9 inches If your hair is long and curly, you might need a larger clip. Though these aren't the biggest clips on the list, the size worked on both my long and Martyn's medium length hair. "These never tug or slip out of my hair," says Martyn. There's a hidden row of spikes on the inside that work with the interlacing teeth to really dig into the hair while still being gentle. Whether power walking or driving on the infamous pothole ridden roads in Los Angeles, my twist wouldn't budge. I tried the clips myself and instantly fell in love with the sleek shape and reliable hold. "I've stepped on them, lost them in the bottom of my bag, dropped them down flights of stairs, and they look brand new.

"You get a ton for a pretty cheap price, and the best part is that they are really high quality," says Martyn, who has fine hair (but a lot of it). InStyle commerce writer Caitlyn Martyn received this set for Christmas after her mom saw the same design at a boutique for a much higher price.
