Back

Claw clips are back and chicer than ever

Think more red carpet, less recess

Digital Beauty Editor / July 13 2020

'90s beauty trends really have a habit of clawing their way back, don't they? In fact, the latest one has done so in the literal sense. Yep, you read the headline right: claw clips are back, people.

But trust us, they've (luckily) come a long way since your school disco days - 2020's crop of claw clips have more of a 'red carpet' vibe than a 'recess' one, available in an array of shapes and shades bound to complement all your go-to styles (and of course, make life when you've somehow lost your zillionth hair tie a whole lot easier).

So, before you flock to your favourite hair accessory hotspot to stock up, allow us to provide some inspiration to spark the inevitable obsession.
