The Hair Accessory War... Scrunchies vs Claw Clips
We are officially in the “claw clip era;” the ‘90s beauty trend is back. From models to influencers to Elon students, everyone is wearing claw clips. Here at The Edge, we love our claw clips, but have we forgotten about scrunchies?
Scrunchies came back into the picture a few years ago. Not only are they an accessory for your outfit, but they actually help with hair health. Unlike an elastic hair tie, scrunchies don’t cause tension at your roots. You can avoid the awful headache that comes with a tight hairstyle by using scrunchies. They come in all sorts of designs, colors, and sizes too. Many girls with thicker hair or curls rely on scrunchies for more comfort.
Slip Scrunchies are a bit more expensive, but they’re worth it. The cheaper, equally good alternative is Kitsch Matte Scrunchies. Both are great choices for those who want a cute low bun or ponytail moment. You can even wear them on your wrist!
Back to claw clips- they're trendy, easy to use and quick. You can achieve a variety of hairstyles all with one accessory. The claw clip instantly makes an outfit appear more chic and put together. For some reason, you just feel like a bad b!tch when you wear one. Claw clips can be used with any hair type and come in all different sizes. Like scrunchies, they are reliable and sturdy, keeping the hair back for longer.
Emi Jay Claw Clips are a bit pricey but worth it with so many to choose from. Amazon does the trick as well with less expensive options. Like scrunchies, both can be easy to buy for any price you want.
We support both claw clips and scrunchies, whichever you prefer. The war will continue to be fought until the next best hair trend comes along. Until then, choose your accessory wisely.
