jaw clip

Hinged hair grip

A jaw clip is a hair accessory with two hinged, comb-toothed sections that clamp together like jaws to hold hair in place.

The spring-loaded mechanism opens when squeezed and grips when released.

Jaw clips range from small claw clips for partial updos to large ones that can secure a full ponytail or twist: She twisted her hair up and fastened it with a jaw clip.
