The Best Hair Grips to Use for Thick Hair

Are there any Hair Grips which will hold my thick hair?

Here at QueenMee Accessories, we love bringing you hair grips to add colour and sparkle to your day, whatever your hair type.

If you have thick hair like so many of our customers (as well as the QueenMee team), then you are in the right place!

I know from helping thousands of women choose the perfect hair accessory at my Pop Up Shops, just how hard it can be to find hair grips long and sturdy enough to secure your hair - especially when you have wonderfully thick and lustrous locks.

Having styled a multitude of women with thick hair, many of the hair grips in the QueenMee range are designed specifically to be extra long and sturdy to work well for thick hair. Even if your hair is both thick and curly, we've got you covered.

What's more, these hair grips for thick hair are not only practical - keeping your hair secured off your face, they bring a touch of glamour to your day too, and will elevate your outfit in an instant. 

1) Try an Extra Long Pair of Hair Grips for Great Hold

These hair grips not only make a gorgeous, sparkling statement because they are long - they also have the added benefit of holding a good amount of thick hair.

They gently curve to the shape of your head, securing hair away from your face so you can stay sleek and sparkling all day.

I particularly love this cobalt blue colour to add some vibrancy to your hairstyle! They are also available in red (try teaming with red nails for a colourful statement), and in classic all-silver. 

The advantage of the silver hair grips is that they work with virtually any outfit in your wardrobe, and so will become firm favourites you will reach for time and again. 

In terms of styling, there are so many ways to wear these large hair grips. They make a sparkling statement when worn together on one side of the head, as we have in our photo here. This has echoes of 1920s Gatsby styling, when women would wear their hair short in waves. Team your hair grips with a faux fur stole and you'll feel like Old Hollywood Royalty. 

Or wear each hair grip separately near the front of your face, for a playful look that is both practical (not a strand near your face!) and pretty. 

A personal favourite of mine is to wear the hair grips at the back of my head, pulling the hair back softly from the front. As you can see from the photo below this creates a statement look at the back of your head.

Whichever your favourite hairstyle is, these long hair grips will securely stay in place and keep you sparkling!

2) Wear Butterflies on your Hair Grips for extra Charm

These butterfly hair grips are perfect for thick hair as they are also long - holding a good amount of hair.

If you love a touch of romance, then the butterfly motif is a gorgeous added mood-booster. Butterflies symbolise transformation, joy and hope. What could be more uplifting to wear in your hair?

Available in an array of colours - from blue to green and peach, they are perfect for adding a joyful touch to your day, as well as keeping your thick hair securely in place. 

I recommend wearing both hair grips together for maximum hold and sparkle, but a single hair grip would look beautiful too if you prefer a more understated look. 

3) Try Crocodile Hair Grips for Ease and Extra Grip

Crocodile Hair Grips are always particularly popular at my Pop Up Shops, as they are easy to open and close, and have little teeth to keep hair firmly in place.

Customers love the fact they have the ease of hair claws, with the styling of classic hair grips. 

Crocodile Hair Grips are ideal for thick hair, as they hold a good amount of hair, and are extra secure with the mini teeth to keep every strand in place.

Of course - QueenMee style - we had to add a little extra sparkle to transform this practical hair accessory into a jewellery box favourite. 

These crocodile hair grips work with all of your outfits, and will elevate your hairstyle with a quick open and close of their sparkling jaws!

Wear both hair clips together one one side, as we have in our photo here, or wear them one on each side. Either way they will keep your hair secure and sparkling. 

4) Wear Pearl Hair Grips for Classic Chic

These Pearl Hair Grips are excellent for holding a lot of thick hair, as they are super long, and can be styled in a multitude of ways, depending on which parts of your hair you like to pin back.

As they are a set of 3 pearl hair grips, there are quite a few different combinations you can try. I would recommend taking some time to play around with styling them, and you'll have fun discovering the hairstyles that work best for your thick hair!

You can wear 2 of these pearl hair grips to pin your hair in a half up half down at the back of your head for example.

Or another idea could be to wear your hair in a high bun, and pin them at the back of your head to keep loose strands in place, and give your relaxed hairstyle a glamorous twist. 

Alternatively, to create a statement look with your hair down, wear all 3 hair grips together on one side.

Pearls are always in style, and the combination of the modern crocodile clip mechanism with the classic gold and pearl finish means that these hair grips are not only great for thick hair, but they add a polished touch to your hairstyle and your overall look.

5) Go for oversize Pearl Hair Grips for a playful twist

You can't beat pearls for classic style. Here at QueenMee Accessories we do love pearl hair clips, pearl headbands, pearl earrings and more!

They ooze vintage-inspired glamour and never fail to elevate your hairstyle and your overall look in an instant.

If your hair is thick, you don't want your pearls to get lost amongst those gorgeous locks, you want them to shimmer and get noticed!

For thick hair, statement hair grips like these oversize pearl hair grips are therefore ideal, as they stand out, and keep the style stakes high. 

Our model, Georgia, in the photo above, has gorgeous thick hair, and you can see how effective just a single large pearl hair grip is in her wavy hairstyle. These hair grips come in a pair, so for a bold statement, try wearing both together at the side. 

Your thick hair deserves a gorgeous jewelled hair grip to show it off!
