I love wearing claw clips but hate them sticking out, so found an alternative that’s comfier… and better for my hair

THEY’RE one of her hairstyle staples.

But influencer Perrie Sian hates how claw clips feel in her locks, as they stick out and make it uncomfortable if she’s in the car.

In contrast, the other clips sit flat against the head – making them loads comfier

So instead she’s found an alternative that works just as well, in addition to being safer, and better for the hair as well.

In a video on her TikTok page, Perrie said: “I was a little bit sceptical, because I’ve got really thick hair because of my extensions.”

But once she’d got it in and secured it, she insisted she’d “never wear a claw clip again”.

“It doesn’t feel like it’s gonna fall out at all and I would say it’s better for my hair and safer for like when I drive and stuff, because it’s flat,” she added.

“That is a game changer.

“How the hell have I been on this planet for 33 years and I never knew about flat claw clips?

“They’re actually called non-slip jaw clips, but anyway, whatever they’re called, I’m in.”

Concluding, Perrie insisted: “You’re never gonna catch me wearing a core clip again. It’s perfect!”

“How the hell did I not know about these sooner?!” she asked in the caption.

People were quick to comment on the video, with many pointing out that it’s been warned not to wear a “traditional” claw clips while driving, due to the amount of accidents doctors have seen with the clips embedded into skulls.

As another added: “Gonna try this.. my hair is so long so hoping it works better than a claw clip”.

“Primark also sell the flat clips,” a third said.

“I bought mine from Primark and it’s so good.”

“The nurse in me is screaming!!! I need these 100000%” someone else insisted.

“I’ve used them for years. Try two…..they look fab,” another advised.

“Bought these and sooooo much more comfortable and secure in my opinion,” someone else agreed.
