Product details

The Camila Paris AD718 is a 3.5-inch French-made octopus-style hair clip designed to secure thick, long, and textured hair with a strong, no-slip grip.

Made in France from high-grade cellulose acetate, this large jaw clip blends durable materials with an octopus prong design and a heavy-duty spring to hold buns, updos, and half-up styles without sliding or denting. It’s built to replace cheap plastic claws and stay reliable through daily use, offering a lightweight yet sturdy option for anyone who needs extra hold.

How does the octopus design keep thick or curly hair in place?

The AD718’s multiple inner prongs interlock with hair strands instead of compressing them into a single clamp. That distribution of pressure prevents slippage and reduces dents or breakage while keeping heavy sections secure through activity.

  • Multiple jaw prongs lock different hair layers for even grip
  • Oval shape captures more hair than a standard round claw
  • Designed to hold long, dense, or curly textures without slipping

What makes cellulose acetate better than ordinary plastic for a claw clip?

Cellulose acetate is a plant-based material used in higher-end accessories because it’s more flexible, colorfast, and less prone to cracking than cheap plastic. The AD718’s acetate body flexes open wide and returns to shape repeatedly, giving a premium look and longer life span.

  • Natural, plant-derived material resists fading and chipping
  • Flexes wide without cracking for repeated wear
  • Feels lighter on the head while providing strong structural support

Will the spring hold all day or need frequent readjustment?

The clip features an extra-strong internal spring calibrated to deliver consistent tension from morning to night. That robust spring minimizes the need to re-clip and provides a secure hold for active days, commuting, or workouts.

  • Heavy-duty spring for long-lasting, non-slip tension
  • Holds hair without constant readjustment or extra hair ties
  • Suitable for daily routines, travel, and exercise

How versatile is this clip for styling and occasions?

Whether you want a tidy bun, a casual messy updo, or a simple shower clip, the AD718 adapts to many looks. Its 3.5-inch size and oval profile capture more hair, making it practical for both quick at-home styles and polished office looks.

  • Works for buns, French twists, half-up styles, and quick holds
  • Good for straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair textures
  • Compact enough for a purse or car, yet large enough for long hair

Who is this for? The Camila Paris AD718 is aimed at anyone with medium to very thick or long hair who needs a dependable, stylish clip that won’t slip or damage strands. It’s a practical pick for busy professionals, active parents, athletes, and anyone who prefers a reusable, higher-quality alternative to disposable plastic clips. Backed by Camila Paris’s decades of French accessory craftsmanship and a hassle-free return policy, it’s designed to be a long-term addition to your daily hair toolkit.
