What is a Flower Claw Clip?
A flower claw clip is a type of hair accessory designed to hold your hair securely in place while adding a floral flourish. These clips come in various sizes, colours, and materials, from delicate pastels to bold, vibrant hues, with different species of flowers trending, making them versatile enough for any occasion. Whether you're aiming for a casual daytime look or a glamorous evening updo, you can bring a hint of tropical paradise to your hair accessory collection.
Why Flower Claw Clips Are Trending
Flower claw clips have exploded in popularity this year, gracing the hair of influencers, celebrities, and fashion enthusiasts alike. Their appeal lies in their ability to effortlessly elevate any hairstyle while being gentle on the hair. Unlike traditional hairbands that can tug and pull, causing damage over time, flower claw clips distribute pressure more evenly. This makes them especially suitable for those with hair extensions, as they minimise stress on your scalp, preserving the health and integrity of your locks.
