Will fit around thick hair twist
These 8.5 c.m clips are deep and wide enough to hold my thick shoulder-length hair gathered up and folded over twice into a twist - unlike 95% of other claw clips that just aren’t big enough - exactly as I expected - they are absolutely worth the  price of less than $12 that I paid for 4 of them. The clip has a tooth on the inside of the inner teeth to help secure the hair. It held without anything slipping. The spring is very tight, which helps keep it in place  - It’s also tricky to operate with one hand while holding the hair in the other - if you don’t have strong fingers, it requires a bit of pressure against the back to start opening. I ordered the tortoise-shell colored ones (I think the description just said brown), which are plastic - not any sort of rubber or silicone feeling plastic - just plain brittle plastic - and will probably break if the clip was jostled in a purse or suitcase. This is why I got 4.
