It can if you don't have very thick hair. It's strong but not substantial enough to handle more than moderately-thick hair.

Yes it can. I like to flip my pony tails back up and then clamp them. It works very well but be careful because the teeth break easily.

That's one of the thngs I like best about it. It's relatively flat, so I'm able to make a really nice ponytail.

yes. i use it for ponytails all the time myself.

no

I don't think so.....it goes flat against your head.

Depends on how much hair you put into the clip. The one side of the clip is open, so some hair may slip out. I wouldn't think this would work for a typical pony tail. You might be able to put two together. Play with it in the store if you can.

I bought this to clip all of my hair back and could only do about half maybe less of my hair. It it ok if you only want a half pony tail, or have extrememly thin hair

Yes if your hair isnt super thick.. I use mine to pull back the sides of my hair into a half-pony. Works great.

Maybe for really, really, really thin hair. But not for medium to thick hair.

YES! there is a good amount of room in it AND it has great grip!

My hair isn't really thick, but I had to figure out to twist in the opposite direction of how I was placing the clip to make my hairs stay. I also use a bobby pin to keep the shorter strands up. If you have super thick hair, I would not recommend this.

I have a lot of hair, too, and it holds very well for me. It's my new favorite hair accessory.

yes, mostdefinitely.

Perfect and have chic designs.Worth the money and is the best you can find in the market.

My daughter has used it and she has long hair and very thick,. Has no complaints. One of the strongest clasp systems I have found.

Holds back the hair tightly.

yes

Yes, they're really REALLY strong.

I have fairly thick hair, and it holds it where I put it all day.

I have super thick hair so I pull back the top first and then pull the back up and get it in the clip. It holds very well if you do it in two parts.

Yes, it works much in the way a barrett works....you slide one side in, and clip.

no. my hair is thin but it can't clamp everything. not gonna work for an updo hairstyle.

it really DOES depend on how thick [and to a lesser extent, how long] your hair is. it doesn't *quite* work for the "waterfall" look on my hair, at least not all of it [by which i mean "twist hair, pull it straight up, pin to crown of head, and the rest of hair falls back over clip - i presume this is what you mean?] it does work if you braid instead of twist, but i don't like that.
another option, and the one i use most, is to secure a bun - twist hair, wrap as a bun, but take the end, straight up [keep twisted] and make a loop, clip it against crown [and tuck the ends around bun] it holds FOREVER!

Yes! Even tho it lies "flat" it still "works" like a traditional hair clip! Good luck!

That's the way I use them , and they work great!

no

I also have long and thick hair. I braid it, secure it with a strong pony tail elastic and add the Sephora Super Clamp. Then I sweep it up and across and secure it with combs. Works for me!

It works for me. My hair is at least average in thickness and collar bone length. I twist it up and put the clip in. I usually do not have to reset all day. This is during my work day. I have not tried it doing anything athletic.

It may not work too well with really thick hair.

You use this clip as a clip and not a clamp. Grab a bunch of hair and open the by pressing the end. Slide it under the hair you want to clip and just let go.

Whatever you would normally do with your hair...just add a twist and then the clip can be put in at any angle.

Pull the front and sides of your hair back and clip it. Then twirl the back of your hair up and in it too. Took me some time to figure it out but it holds all my hair and its very thick.

I agree....I think the clip isn't wide enough to grasp all of the hair! I am also very dissatisfied with the clip.

The best way I found was to lightly tease and spray hairspray the root area at the crown. Then smooth it out lightly, take the area you want to clip and slightly twist it, then put the hair clamp in place. It hink it works best with thick hair, which I dont have.

it could only clamp half of your hair. it's not gonna work in an updo hair clamping.

unlike a tradition clip, it won't automatically grab your hair for you; you will have to gather it yourself.
i find that it works best if i twist the hair i want it to hold, and slid the clip just above where the twist is, at which point it will HOLD. as long as there is ENOUGH hair, anyway.
or, what i normally do, is use it for a bun. twist all my hair, wrap in bun [3 or 4 times around, on my hair] then the end i twist up above the bun, loop it around, and clamp it right above the bun, through the hair lying flat against my scalp. it works beautifully this way.
alternatively, you can twist and flip up, and clip it so that your hair falls back down over it.
hope this helps!
