**Question:** Which claw clip holds thick hair?

**Short answer:** Every reviewer counted here said they have thick hair. Scunci Luxe Acrylic Claw Clip has the best record at 12 of 12, but that rests on a small group, so treat it as promising. Gimme Beauty Thick Hair Claw Clips are next at 15 of 18, though 28% of their reviews say a clip broke or snapped.

**What stands out:** Slipping is the common complaint on the lower-ranked clips: 42% of Kitsch reviews and 31% of Hair Edit reviews say the clip slips or falls out.
