Hair Health Warning: Your Favorite Claw Clip Might Be Breaking Your Hair
Hair Health Alert: Popular Claw Clips Linked to Crown Breakage, Says Trichologist London, UK A recent video by certified Trichologist Rachel Valentine has shed light on a surprising culprit behind hair breakage: the seemingly innocuous claw clip. Widely adopted as a gentler alternative to traditional hair ties, these popular accessories are now being flagged as a potential cause of damage, particularly around the crown area. In her video, Valentine states, "The epidemic of claw clip hairstyles is the reason that you are seeing breakage around your crown area." She acknowledges the common perception that claw clips are a healthier option, noting, "I know this is confusing because claw clips are meant to be the healthier way of putting your hair up, and they are." However, she quickly clarifies the nuance: "Unfortunately, any repetitive hair..." implying that the way they are used can lead to issues. Hair experts suggest that the repetitive tension and pressure exerted by claw clips on specific sections of hair can lead to mechanical breakage over time. This is especially true if clips are consistently placed in the same spot or pulled too tightly. Viewers have reacted with surprise and concern, with one comment reading, "👀👀👀well this explains A LOT," and another stating, "Me slowly taking out my claw clip…😳." The revelation has prompted many to re-evaluate their hair styling habits, seeking ways to minimize damage while still enjoying the convenience of hair accessories.
