Never stopped wearing the claw clip since the 19902. Sorry not sorry! Ha
Rachel says:
Me niether! I wear them at home, at work, etc. They’re a life saver for putting up curly hair without disrupting my curl pattern (and needing to wet my hair to reset).

Ah, god, the CLAW CLIP. This is a habit I haven’t been able to kick. I wouldn’t quite go as far as, “guilty pleasure,” because I don’t particularly relish them. That said, they definitely have their place for me. Should I have honed my updo skills more? Absolutely. But I didn’t, and sometimes we have to make sacrifices to get through the day, haha.
When I still worked in an office, I didn’t wear them around the office. I had one in my desk to pull my hair into when I was in *my* office, focusing, and just needed my hair out of my damn face. Otherwise, I relegated them to an at-home-use thing, much like slippers.
Now that I’m in a permanent WFH role, I use one periodically during the day, but not on Zoom. I really like the octo-clips that have the bent claws that lay flush against your head.

I could not give a better review to the Boss suit. Have worn it only for monumental work occasions and it feels like it was tailored to my body. Excellent for tall women!
Rebecca says:
The irony of reading an article about the claw clip, then see one listed on Whitney Port’s gift guide! 🙂

There was a Pantene ad a few years ago called “sorry, not sorry” that totally changed my mindset and made me more conscious about how much I was apologizing. I would send it to young interns just starting out as part of a conversation with them about being more assertive.
