Best Claw Clips for Thick Hair in Dubai's Heat
By Knorbis Team · · Updated
Size, teeth and finish decide whether a claw clip holds thick hair all day. Here's how to choose one that survives a Dubai summer.
In Dubai, hair goes up for most of the year. Between the summer heat, the humidity at JBR and the long days from school run to office to gym, a claw clip that slips out by lunchtime is useless. If you have thick, long or curly hair, three things decide whether a clip holds: size, teeth and spring.
1. Pick the right size
For thick hair, go big. A 4.3-inch (11 cm) claw clip fits all your hair in one twist. Smaller clips only hold part of the twist, so the rest pulls loose. Our Large Matte Hair Claw Clip is exactly this size.
2. Look at the teeth
Long, rounded teeth reach deep into the twist and don't snag. If your hair is thick but also silky, choose a double-row clip: two rows of interlocking teeth lock the twist in place. The Big Double-Row Claw Clip combines both.
3. Choose a matte finish
Glossy acrylic slides on smooth hair. A matte, soft-touch finish grips instead. It also looks neat with office wear and abayas, and it's comfortable under a hijab or shayla.
How to put it in so it lasts all day
- Gather your hair into a low ponytail.
- Twist it upwards against the back of your head.
- Close the clip over the twist, teeth facing down, so the spring holds the full twist.
Keep one everywhere
Once you find a clip that works, you'll want one at home, one in your bag and one in the car. The Large Claw Clip Trio costs less than three singles.
All our clips are delivered across Dubai and the rest of the UAE in 4–5 days. Order any time on WhatsApp.
