This is a very large Pat Areias claw clip for hair. Great for thick and/or long hair. However, it also works for my wife’s fine hair but since she got her hair cut shorter, she thinks it’s too large for her short stature. Had she not had her hair cut to the shorter length she plans on keeping, she would never sell this clip. She had not seen it on the Pat Areias site so she assumes this size has been discontinued. She purchased it many years ago.
If this claw is suitable for you, you should not be disappointed. Unlike many hair savers, the claw prevent hair from getting tangled up and causing split ends.
Please compare this item to the smaller and lighter Pat Areias claws. It is reasonably priced for this hard to find item.
The difference between this oversized clip and the less expensive clip listed is that with this clip, it is much heavier (61.7 grams this vs. 52.2 grams the other listing). The claw portion in particular is more difficult to bend out of shape. Thus claw is better if u have particularly thick hair or long hair which is thick due to having to wrap it s few times when using the clip.
