The Science Behind Hair Texture and Clip Design

The science behind claw clip design is fascinating and directly impacts how well a clip works for different hair types.

Our rounded clip features curved teeth that follow the natural shape of the head. This design works particularly well for curly hair because the teeth can navigate through coils without causing breakage. The rounded shape distributes pressure more evenly across the scalp, making it more comfortable for all-day wear.

The square clip, with its straight teeth, creates more points of contact with straight or wavy hair. This increases friction and prevents slipping, a common issue for those with sleeker hair textures.

Both of our 3-inch clips are designed with optimal tooth spacing. Too close, and the teeth can't grip enough hair; too far apart, and they won't hold securely. Our research has found that the current spacing works for the widest range of hair types.

The spring mechanism in both clips is calibrated to provide enough tension to hold hair securely without causing headaches or discomfort. We use a high-grade metal that maintains its tension over time, ensuring your clip will last for years.
