REMI Bébé vs. LORA Bébé Clip: Which Mini Hair Clip Is Right for Your Hair Type?

Mini hair clips are having a major moment, and the REMI Bébé and LORA Bébé clips from Tort Hair Accessories are two of the most popular options for adding a playful, polished touch to any hairstyle. But with similar names and sizes, how do you know which one will work best for your hair type and daily routine?

In this comparison, we’ll break down the key differences between the REMI Bébé and LORA Bébé clips—from grip strength and size to ideal hair textures and styling versatility. Whether you have fine, slippery strands or thick, heavy hair, you’ll leave with a clear winner for your needs.

Size and Grip: What Sets Them Apart

At first glance, both the REMI Bébé and LORA Bébé clips look like classic mini claw clips, but subtle design differences change how they hold hair. The REMI Bébé clip features a slightly narrower jaw and tighter spring tension, making it ideal for securing smaller sections of fine or medium hair without slipping. Its compact shape works beautifully for pinning back baby hairs or adding a delicate accent to a half-up style.

The LORA Bébé clip, on the other hand, has a wider jaw and a gentler spring, which gives it more room to grasp thicker strands without feeling overly tight. If you have thick or coarse hair, the LORA Bébé clip offers a more comfortable hold that won’t pull or crease your hair. For those with fine hair, the LORA Bébé may feel a bit loose, so the REMI Bébé is often the better match.

• Tip: If you're unsure, try the LORA Bébé clip in Taffy Tortoiseshell—its wider grip works well for most hair types and adds a warm, neutral accent.

Best Hair Types for Each Clip

For fine or thin hair, the REMI Bébé clip is the clear winner. Its strong spring and smaller size grip hair securely without slipping, even on silky or straight textures. You can use it to hold back a few face-framing strands or to secure a tiny twist at the crown. The REMI Bébé also works well for short hair or layered cuts where a larger clip would overwhelm the section.

For medium to thick hair, the LORA Bébé clip provides a more reliable hold. Its wider opening accommodates larger sections, making it perfect for a half-up style or for pinning back thicker layers. If you have wavy or curly hair, the LORA Bébé clip’s gentler spring reduces the risk of snagging while still keeping your style in place. Pair it with a matching accessory like the JOAN clip in Jewelled Lime Cheetah for a coordinated look.

• Fine hair: REMI Bébé clip for a secure, non-slip hold.
• Thick or curly hair: LORA Bébé clip for comfortable, snag-free grip.
• Medium hair: Either works—choose based on the size of the section you're clipping.

Styling Versatility and Everyday Use

Both clips shine in everyday styling, but they shine in different ways. The REMI Bébé clip is perfect for quick, subtle accents—think pinning back a few strands while you work, or adding a pop of color to a simple ponytail. Its smaller size makes it easy to layer multiple clips for a trendy clustered look. Try pairing it with the AMMA clip in Pink Mustard for a playful, colorful vibe.

The LORA Bébé clip is more of a workhorse for thicker hair. Use it to hold a half-up bun, secure a side-swept section, or even as a mini hair claw for a quick updo. Because of its wider jaw, it can handle more hair without slipping, making it a reliable choice for active days. If you love the look of mini clips but need more hold, the LORA Bébé is your go-to.

• Style idea: Use two LORA Bébé clips to create a mini half-up style with a center part—perfect for second-day hair.

Choosing between the REMI Bébé and LORA Bébé clip comes down to your hair type and how you like to style. For fine or thin hair, the REMI Bébé delivers a secure, non-slip hold. For medium to thick hair, the LORA Bébé offers comfortable grip and more coverage. Both are versatile enough to mix and match with other clips from your collection, so don’t be afraid to try one (or both) to see which feels best in your hair.
