The Butterfly Claw Clip That Is Pretty and Actually Big Enough to Work -- Salon-Selected

The Gradient Butterfly Hair Claw Clip is the rare statement clip that earns its place in the drawer. At roughly 5.3 inches it is a genuinely large claw, so unlike the tiny butterfly clips you remember, this one has the jaw span and spring tension to hold a real amount of hair while still looking soft and feminine.

The butterfly is molded in a light polystyrene with a gradient finish that catches the light, and it sits on a strong spring hinge with deep teeth. That combination is what lets it grip a full twist of medium-to-thick hair without sagging open through the day.

I reach for it when a client wants their updo to be the accessory -- a clipped french twist, a low messy bun, or a half-up that needs a little romance. The gradient tone is neutral enough to wear with everyday outfits, not just dressed-up looks.

It also makes a lovely, giftable piece for anyone who likes their hair accessories to feel a bit special.

Material: Polystyrene with spring hinge | Size: Approx. 13.5 cm / 5.3 in, large | Color: Pink gradient | Best for: Medium to thick hair

How to Style With a Large Butterfly Claw Clip

Gather your hair into a twist, fold it up against your head, and set the claw vertically over the fold so the teeth catch both sides of the twist -- that is what gives a large clip its all-day hold. Smooth your hairline and any flyaways first with the Hair Finishing Stick so the look reads polished rather than undone. If you prefer a plain, structured everyday clip, our large 5-inch square claw clip is the workhorse version, and you can see the whole range in our full hair collection.

Gradient Butterfly Hair Claw Clip -- FAQ

Is this butterfly clip big enough for thick hair?
Yes. At about 5.3 inches it is a large claw with a strong spring, so it holds a full twist of medium-to-thick hair, unlike the small butterfly clips made only for tiny sections.

Will the spring hinge stay tight over time?
The hinge is firm and designed to hold its tension with normal daily use. Avoid over-stretching it open and it will keep its grip.

Does the gradient finish work with everyday outfits?
Yes. The pink gradient is soft and neutral, so it dresses up a simple look without reading as costume or overly formal.

Can I use it for an updo?
Absolutely. It is ideal for a clipped french twist, a low bun, or a romantic half-up where you want the clip itself to be the finishing detail.
