10 Hair Clips That'll *Actually* Hold All of Your Thick Hair

There are plenty of upsides to having abundant amounts of thick hair. You can style it into swingy, luxuriant ponytails, full buns, and intricate braids. You have the kind of hair that lots of people envy. And every time you get a haircut, your hair stylist makes a remark about how lovely and thick your hair is. But there are also downsides — finding hair clips for thick hair can be tricky, because those dang claw clips just don't seem to be able to hold it all.

Those girls that easily toss their hair into a cute little messy updo with a claw clip that seems to stay put all day? You envy them. In fact, many run-of-the-mill hair accessories aren't designed to hold the amount of hair you've been blessed with. You might find that most prongs are too shallow and most barrettes are too flimsy, lacking the grip capacity and size to tame your locks into a French twist or even a half-up, half-down 'do...or so you thought.

There are some excellent clips out there that are designed specifically for your gorgeous head of hair. That's why we've gathered the best hair clips for thick hair, from banana clips to classic claw clips to hair pins and barrettes for curly hair. They're jumbo-sized, extra strong, matte or rubberized for extra grip, and so cute that you'll reach for them every single day. Here are our top picks for hair clips for thick hair.
