No good for thick or long hair
The length, profile and description of this clip indicate it is suited for long, thick hair.  It is not.  It can hold thin or average hair, but the design is such that the claws only open a very small width.  If you truly have thick hair you realize this will never work as there is no way to get the needed amount of hair into the clip itself without breaking it, especially if you are trying to put your hair up entirely.  The material is very lightweight And insubstantial as well, so there is just no way that it can accommodate even shoulder length thick hair in a half up style, let alone fully up.  To see or understand the difference, large octopus clips made by Style of Paris are exactly the the type of material and form that actually does hold thick wavy hair in numerous styles.  This clip was very unsatisfactory all around, especially for the price, and I returned it.
