The Best Hair Clip for Thick Hair

If you have thick hair, you already know the frustration. You clip your hair up, and within minutes it's sliding out or barely holding on. Most clips simply aren't built for the volume and weight that comes with thick hair.

So what actually makes a clip good for thick hair?

A clip that works on fine or medium hair will often struggle with thick hair. You need enough length and jaw width to grip your full volume — not just the top layer. For thick hair, a clip that's at least 10–12 cm is the sweet spot.

Cheap plastic clips tend to snap under pressure. Cellulose acetate is a far better option — a natural material that's durable and slightly flexible, meaning it can handle the tension of thick hair without cracking or breaking. A smooth, glossy finish also helps the clip glide in without snagging.

At 12 cm, the Core Hair Clip L has the length and grip to handle thick and voluminous hair all day — whether you're wearing a quick morning bun or a more polished updo. Made from cellulose acetate with a smooth, glossy finish. Clean, structured, and built to hold.

Available in S (8 cm), M (10 cm), and L (12 cm). For thick hair, the L is the one.
