THEY'RE one of her hairstyle staples.
But influencer Perrie Sian hates how claw clips feel in her locks, as they stick out and make it uncomfortable if she's in the car.

In a , Perrie said: "I was a little bit sceptical, because I've got really thick hair because of my extensions."
But once she'd got it in and secured it, she insisted she'd "never wear a claw clip again".
"It doesn't feel like it's gonna fall out at all and I would say it's better for my hair and safer for like when I drive and stuff, because it's flat," she added.

Hairstyles that are kind to your locks
- Loose Braids: Opt for loose, soft braids rather than tight ones to minimise tension on the scalp and reduce breakage.
- Low Ponytail: A low ponytail is less stressful on your hair compared to high, tight ponytails. Use a fabric-covered hair tie to avoid snagging.
- Messy Bun: A relaxed, messy bun can be both stylish and kind to your hair. Avoid pulling your hair too tightly and use gentle hair ties.
- Soft Waves: Embrace your natural texture or use heatless methods to create soft waves, reducing the need for damaging heat styling tools.
- Half-Up, Half-Down: This style keeps some hair pulled back while leaving the rest down, reducing the strain on your scalp.
- Headbands and Scarves: Using headbands or scarves can keep hair out of your face without causing damage, and they can be quite fashionable.
- Loose Plaits for Sleeping: Before bed, loosely plait your hair to prevent tangles and breakage overnight.
