Camila French Octopus Hair Clip for Long Thick Hair — 3.5" Cellulose Acetate Claw, Strong No-Slip Hold

Camila Paris AD718-719 is a French-made octopus hair clip that delivers a durable, no-slip hold for long, thick, wavy, or curly hair while remaining lightweight and stylish.

Designed and crafted in France from high-grade cellulose acetate, this 3.5-inch octopus (also called an "octopus" or large claw) clip combines a strong internal spring with a roomy oval shape to secure more hair than standard clips. It blends fashion and function—tortoise shell and black finishes look polished while the flexible material resists cracking, chipping, and fading so the clip keeps its shape through daily use.

How does this clip keep long, thick hair in place all day?

The AD718-719 uses an extra-strong metal spring and an oval jaw design that captures larger sections of hair without compressing or slipping. The internal tension grips hair evenly so you won’t need to reclip during the day, even with heavy or voluminous styles.

• Heavy-duty internal spring for sustained clamping force
• Oval shape holds more hair than round clips
• 3.5-inch size sized for long and thick hair lengths
• Non-slip grip reduces need for hair ties or adjustments

What makes cellulose acetate better than ordinary plastic for hair accessories?

Cellulose acetate is a plant-based material prized in French accessory making for its durability and finish. Unlike cheap plastics, it flexes without cracking and maintains color and polish over time, giving a premium look and longer lifespan.

• Made in France from high-grade plant-based acetate
• Resists chipping, fading, and brittle failure
• Lightweight feel despite robust construction
• Cleaner surface finish for an elegant appearance

Which hairstyles and situations is this clip best for?

This clip is versatile: use it to create quick full updos, partial half-up styles, messy buns, French twists, or as a shower/phone-holding clip. Its size and strength make it practical for both everyday wear and busier routines like gym visits or commuting.

• Quick updos and full buns for long hair
• Half-up styles and French twists for medium volumes
• Hold during workouts or while traveling—keeps hair secure
• Suitable for straight, wavy, curly, or coily textures

How do I use and care for the Camila Paris clip to prolong its life?

Open the clip fully and gather hair into the oval jaw, then release to let the spring clamp gently but firmly. Rinse lightly with warm water and mild soap if needed, and avoid harsh chemicals or extreme heat to preserve the acetate finish and spring tension.

• Open wide to prevent stress on the hinge when inserting thick sections
• Hand-wash with mild soap; air-dry only
• Store flat or upright to protect the finish and spring
• Avoid bleach, acetone, and prolonged sun exposure

Who is this for? The Camila Paris AD718-719 octopus clip is ideal for anyone with long, thick, or textured hair who wants a reliable, elegant fasten that lasts. It suits women and girls seeking a stronger alternative to small plastic claws—perfect for busy mornings, active days, or anytime you need a fast, secure updo without discomfort. Backed by Camila Paris's two decades-plus of French accessory craftsmanship, it’s a practical upgrade for daily styling or travel kits. If you prefer cruelty-free, plant-based materials and quality construction, this clip fits both style and performance needs.
