Paris AD716 Octopus French Hair Clips for Women Thick Hair, Large Hair Clips for Thick Hair for Curly Wavy Long Hair, Strong No-Slip Grip Hair Claw Clip Big Clips for Women. Made in France

Like others, I'm no longer thrilled with the quality of the drugstore hair clips that used to be my go to for decades. This octopus style clip, while pricier than traditional brands, is just right for my past shoulder length blonde hair, which I have a lot of, but is thin and curly. It grips nicely without causing headaches. My hair was almost touching my shoulders when I started using this clip and it held just fine. I'm certain it could handle thicker and longer hair as there's plenty of room without appearing so, if that makes sense. Great quality, love the tortoiseshell shade. Very happy with purchase.

My naturally straight, thick hair (or "coarse" as my hairdresser calls it) hates being put in a bun. I've tried using combs, elastics, pins, suggestions on TikTok for twisting it upwards, but within hours it fall apart. The only things that are able to tame it are the big long-toothed clips, but I'm not going out in public with a giant binder clip sticking up on my head, lol. Then I saw the instructor for my yoga class wearing the octopus clip: I asked her where she got it, and ordered this as soon as I got home. It really works, holding the hair in a neat bun but with a low profile---you hardly see the handles on this clip. The "tentacles" look pointy and sharp, but I don't feel them at all, and they don't pull on the hair. An added plus is that I don't feel it while driving when it's pressed against the headrest. I'm ordering another one to keep in my workout bag. A smart, compact accessory for anyone with long hair.

My first purchase was the blue one. It's plastic like many clips, but there's some rubber-type material added. It's still firm, but that added substance prevents it from breaking when dropped, which I have already done with this. I have had others break when dropped. In fact, I liked this one so much I then purchased the orange and black one. The orange bits look more gold in the context of the black background. Also, very nice.

This clip is good quality but SMALL for the price. I thought it would the size of my fist as a bun clip but no, its only a couple inches across. Too expensive for what you get.

These clips do a great job holding up my very long hair when it's in a bun. My only complaint is that my hair sometimes catches in the spring, ouch! I also use these in the shower and they do a great job holding my hair out of the way while the deep conditioner works its magic. I've not had any issue with rusting or anything else.

I bought the black/mint glitter clip and while it's slightly smaller than other octopus clips I got, it actually holds my hair better. I have very fine hair and a LOT of it, so I need a clip that can hold a lot but I also get tension headaches if the clip is too heavy or pulls my hair. This clip is the best one I've found so far... twice to three times as expensive but it works. I've only had it a week, so we'll see if it holds up but it seems sturdy. My main concern is the thin tension band across the inside of the clip that holds it closed... also makes it easier to open and close than others I've tried. It also doesn't have the little spurs or silicone pieces on the inside to help hold your hair... and doesn't need them. Also, pretty!

This is my second shopping from this seller. The first item was Big Claw Clip and I love it so much. They are sturdy and hold my hair nicely. After one year, my hair got long and need more bigger ( or wider) clips. I got Spider Clip this time and it can hold my long hair. But... I don't recommend it because IT'S HARD TO OPEN BEFORE CLIP. It looks cute, but I can't open it by one hand so no use.

I have really long, fine, but also a lot of hair. This hair clip keeps it all up. Already ordered two of them. Stays up all day.
