what kind of hair clips do you use for sectioning?

whiteoleander91 · Sep 19, 2014

I usually section my hair with claw clips. They don't last me very long before they break apart. What type of clips do you use? I'd really appreciate if you added a pic and mentioned where you purchased them, as well.

Salon care croco clips. I get them from Sally's when they go on sale

ETA: This week I purchased some more Salon Care croc clips from Sally's and I realized they were not the strong, high quality clips in my collection. The strongest croc clip I've used is by turboion and I purchased them from Folica. Sorry for the confusion.

make_me_over thank you for replying! so these clips don't snag your hair at all?

I've been using these but they snag the hair:

Sometimes I use these, but they don't hold much:

I just bought some cheap claw clips that are bigger than those above and I think I'll stick with those. If they break I'll just get some more. They don't snag.

Dayjoy thank you for replying! I remember trying something similar to the last pic when I first went natural, but my hair kept getting caught in the little grooved/teeth part. Maybe I should look around for some better quality ones, the ones I tried were kinda broke down lol

I use big mouth hair clips. They don't snag. I have very thick hair & it's almost HL. These hold my hair perfectly,

Thank you ManeStreet ! Seems like it's two votes for these clips. I'll give them a try the next time I go by Sally Beauty.

Croc/croc like clips. No snags & super strong. I'll never buy anything else.

Crocs/big mouths are great. No snags, and they hold all of my hair v

These are the only things that work for my thick natural hair. They last quite a while. The only time they break is if I step on them, lol. But I have a backup supply.

I use regular claw clips or I just section my hair and do lose Bantu knots

i like to use single pronged duck bill clips. they slide in and out easily with no snags

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate all of the recommendations. I hate opening my claw clips to pin up a section only to have it fall apart in my hands. So frustrating! I think it's all of the conditioner and water that makes them weak.

Napp I really like these, but since I keep my clips in the shower, they end up rusting over time. Maybe keeping clips in the shower is the problem lol. But it's so much more convenient!

maybe you can put them in a plastic soap box and leave in it your shower

These are my fav. I usually buy a pack from Sally's once or twice a year because I end up losing them :lachen:

I want to try these.

I have both the original Croc Clips and the Sally's version. The original feel heavier than the Sally's I have broken at at least 8 of the original. They were no match for my hair. But I do like them. I just purchased the Sally's version. I like them because of the price but not sure how long they will last.

No snagging, they are strong, and hold a lot of hair. I like the salon care brand, I think it's the best quality and last longer than other brands I've tried.

ETA: it's actually Turboion brand croc clips from Folica that I was referring to.

what kind of hair clips do you use for sectioning?
