Never thought about the damage that they can do in a car accident.

I have always found that my hair is too soft and fine for claw-clips to be effective with me. So pleased I haven’t been able to wear them after I saw this post. Thanks for sharing it all with us.

Logically, anything solid close to your head could cause problems.
I feel like the ones that are still comfortable to wear in the car are the bigger risk.

Yeah wow something you definitely don’t think about upon chucking your hair up in. I always take mine out when I’m sitting or in the car it’s way to uncomfy. Did just order my teen daughter some cute ones for her bday coming up… makes me cringe now

I don’t wear these at all. My hair is too thick to hold and they just get in the way.

I’d always found them too uncomfortable to wear when in a car so took it out. This article doesn’t surprise me, they could do some real damage.

That’s a worry

Err… she got comments from people who died in crashes? Zombies maybe?

Ouch! Thats crazy. I love these clips…. but wont be wearing them in the car any more… :/

Oh my gosh! I would have never thought about that!

Wow….I always wear these but at the same time I always take them out when im driving as they bang against the head rest in the car which I find annoying

  I always remove my claw clip too, potentially too dangerous.

Ouch that’s not fun. I find them uncomfortable anytime I try one. So I stick to wearing it when I put make up on to keep the hair away from my face.

Something you don’t really thing about when doing your hair in the morning!

So many things can happen in an accident. You can choke if eating, get burned if drinking a hot coffee, have spectacles smash into your face, have jewellery embedded into your skin. The list is endless.

I’ve never used claw clips and now I’m glad I don’t. Who would have thought that something as simple as a hair accessory could cause so much damage to your skull.

I thankfully don’t use claw clips

How awful and surprising how common claw clip injuries are. I was getting something out of the car one day and forgot I was wearing a large metal claw clip in (it’s actually heavy and tends to weigh my hair down). Thinking I had enough room behind myself between the car roof and my head to get out, I accidentally knocked the clip right back into my noggin quite hard and it does feel like it digs in. It wasn’t as bad as this story, but was enough to make me go ouch and be wary!

I have always used great care with a claw clip.

Hot new accessorie. Man I feel old. But also this is very scary!! Never would have thought about how they’d g in a car accident. Yikes.

Wow, that’s scary- I regularly use them…
