The most common reason a claw clip fails is not the brand or the material - it is the size. Too small and it slips. Too large and the grip is uneven. Getting the size right is the single biggest factor in whether your clip holds all day or ends up in your bag by noon.
The good news: Kov clips are built so there is a size for every hair type. Here is how to find yours.
How the Kov Size Range Works
Four clips in the Kov range - the Daily, Soul, Demi, and Icon - come in multiple sizes so you can match the clip to your volume and length rather than forcing your hair into whatever size happens to be available.
- The Daily Clip and Soul Clip come in S, M, L, and XL
- The Demi Clip and Icon Clip come in S, M, and L
The Sculpt Clip and Muse Clip are one size - and intentionally so. More on those below.
Finding Your Size
Within each clip style, the right size comes down to two things: how much hair you have and how long it is.
If you are ever between two sizes, go up. A clip that is slightly larger than you need will still hold. A clip that is too small will strain to close and slip throughout the day.
Not sure where your hair falls? The Kov fit quiz matches you to the right clip and size in under two minutes.
The Daily Clip: the everyday workhorse
The Daily Clip is the most versatile clip in the range. It works for half-up styles, loose updos, and everything in between - and because it comes in S through XL, it genuinely works for every hair type. If you have braids or locs, the Daily Clip is one of the two best options in the range for you.
The Soul Clip: for high volume and length
The Soul Clip has the widest jaw and strongest spring tension in the range, making it the go-to for thick, long, or high-volume hair. Like the Daily, it comes in S through XL and works well for braids and locs. If other clips have consistently let you down, the Soul is almost always the answer.
The Demi Clip: refined and minimal
The Demi Clip has a cleaner, more understated silhouette than the Daily or Soul. It comes in S, M, and L and works best for straight or wavy hair - it is not the right fit for braids or locs. If you want a clip that is more of an accessory than a tool, the Demi is worth a look.
The Icon Clip: strong hold with a distinctive look
The Icon Clip's signature cutout design makes it one of the most recognizable clips in the range. It comes in S, M, and L and is built for medium to thick hair - though like the Demi, it works best on straight or wavy hair rather than braids or locs. If you want your clip to be part of the outfit, the Icon delivers.
The Sculpt Clip and Muse Clip: one size, universal
These two are different from the rest. The Sculpt and Muse are each one size - designed to work across hair types without needing a size range.
The Sculpt Clip is built for one job: holding a bun. Its compact silhouette and strong spring tension grip from beneath the bun and keep it secure all day - no bobby pins, no hair tie. It works on fine hair and thick hair alike.
The Muse Clip is a softer, more sculptural shape - an easy everyday clip that works across hair types and pairs well with any style.
A Few Signs You Have the Wrong Size
- Your clip slips out within an hour - size up
- The clip strains to close - size up
- Your hair falls out from the sides - the jaw is too narrow for your volume
- The clip leaves a dent or crease - try a softer tension or a larger size
Still Not Sure?
