Mello Claw Clip Review
I loveeee claw clips. I’m constantly buying them, losing them, and sitting on them. So when I saw this squishy claw clip that promised not to snap, break, or impale you in the head, I knew I had to try it.
➡️ Product: Mello Cloud Clip in the “Classic” size
✅ Why It Works: This obnoxiously priced clip is designed and made in Korea, and claims to have all-day comfort, with zero digging. It’s also lead-free, if you’re in the habit of giving your clips to small children to chew on.
I found this clip was genuinely softer and did not dig into my scalp compared to traditional clips. It didn’t have the sharp teeth, and I found I could drive in it without being stabbed. That’s a win in my book.
Me when I first got this clip.
❌ Why It Doesn’t: THE PRICE. This thing better be perfect for $25, and for my hair type, it’s not. I don’t find it the most stylish, and it doesn’t have a great grip on my fine, medium length hair. I had to readjust frequently, and I felt frumpy.
I’m wearing the Classic Cloud Clip in Black.
Buy It? If you have a super long mane or sensory issues, this could be a contender. For the rest of us, just pick up some Goody clips at Target and call it a day.

See you next Sunday, cult members.
1 Of course I know birds are real (and not government cameras in disguise). I’m not stupid; I just love satire. If you’re not up on your internet lore, here’s the overview.
