Pittsburgh hair clip — wear the city in your hair The Pittsburgh hair clip is a claw-style game-day hair accessory with PITTSBURGH spelled out across it. It’s the hair version of wearing your team without wearing a jersey — quieter than a t-shirt, more interesting than a hat, and works on game day, at brunch, or any day you’d rather wear your city than carry it. Made by Full Count Threads. Why a Pittsburgh hair clip Hair claw clips became one of the most-worn accessories of the last few years — they’re the hair-up move that doesn’t pull, doesn’t pinch, and stays put through a long day. Putting PITTSBURGH on one turns a daily-wear item into a quiet piece of city pride. It works at PNC Park, at Acrisure Stadium, at a coffee shop on the East End, at a wedding rehearsal — places where a sports tee would feel too on-the-nose. What you get One Pittsburgh hair clip, claw-style, with PITTSBURGH lettering. Standard claw-clip size — large enough to hold most hair types up cleanly, small enough to not feel bulky. How to wear it Half-up: pull the front sections back and clip; lets the lettering sit prominently at the back of the head. Full-up: twist all the hair into a low or mid bun and clip. Game-day move: pull all the hair to one side, twist, and clip — the lettering sits visible from the front in profile. The clip works equally well on thick hair, fine hair, and everything in between (claw clips are forgiving). Who it’s for Pittsburgh sports fans who want a subtler “I’m here for this” than a jersey. Hair-up wearers who like a daily piece of personality. Bachelorette and birthday-party groups looking for matching Pittsburgh-themed accessories. Pittsburgh transplants who miss home. Yinzers who appreciate a piece that wears at the office and at the game. Also: a smart small gift under $25.

Pittsburgh hair clip styling notes The PITTSBURGH lettering reads cleanest with hair pulled to one side or with a half-up section that exposes the back of the clip. For game-day photos, pair with a clear stadium bag from the same maker — the look reads as intentional Pittsburgh styling, not random souvenir-shop pickups. For casual everyday wear, a low twist with the clip horizontal lets the lettering peek without dominating. FAQs about the Pittsburgh hair clip What kind of clip is it?
