If your ’90s loving heart was set aflutter when scrunchies made a comeback, you’ll fkn die over the latest trend making a resurgence. Recently, a bunch of achingly cool, off-duty models and influencers have been filling my Instagram feed sporting a range of claw hair clips. Remember those?!

Yep, those toothy bad bois you were obsessed with in primary school have quickly become the epitome of effortless, it-girl style — and this Editor’s go-to on a bad hair day. They’re a great solution to hairbands, especially if you’re trying to look after damaged hair. They’re snagless, won’t get tangled up in your ends and won’t give you a migraine from long-term use.

My only gripe with trends like these is that once big brands see the likes of Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber wearing claw clips, they immediately bring out a wildly expensive range of them. My cheeky hack: picking up cheap multipacks on Amazon for under $25 or buying single clips made from strong, durable materials that’ll last a long time, making them worth the spend.

You can find a range of pastel clips, tortoiseshell ones, sleek metallic style clips and a bunch of different shaped claws, that will cost you a quarter of the price and come with backups, you know in case one snaps — we’ve all felt that pain.

Below, I’ve graciously shared my favourite claw hair clips that won’t break the bank so you can try the trend. You’re welcome!
