    Default Are these hair friendly?

    i have these clips and i mainly use them at home for when i twist my hair into a bun on top of my head and put the clip on and encase it around my bun so my hair is out of the way. I was wondering if they are hair friendly? Should i just let my hair loose?

    I love claw clips! I have a ton of them and they are my go-to for a quick up-bun. I've never had any damage from claws, they've been very hair-friendly for me.

    I have been wearing a claw clip daily since about APL, and I'm past hip length now. I see no damage from it. I do have one with flatter teeth, though.

    I won't touch them. Those little metal spring thingies have a nasty habit of snagging when trying to remove.

    I think I have the same exact ones, and I feel more comfortable using a scrunchie or something for a bun... I feel like they pull my hair sometimes when taking them out.

    Love these. Though sometimes my hair breaks them. Only had trouble with the snagging when my hair wasn't straight.

    I have to admit that the TINY ones I've tried did have a tendency to snag if I forgot one when I took down my bun... (of course I had about 6 or 7 in there so I was fishing it out of a cascade and tangles...) but since I moved to larger clips and only have to use 1, maybe 2, I haven't had a problem with them at all. They've been a staple for me for years now.

    I'd check them for seams, but I find them pretty good (until my hair breaks the teeth off them).

    If you notice them snagging your hair, then no. If not, then yes. Hair can get wrapped around the springs and whatnot, so just be careful.
