A PSA is now trending on TikTok with the potential of saving lives with each view the video gets. If you’re a claw clip girlie, do not drive with it in your hair. Natalie Kate, a TikTok user and ultrasound student, posted the video, which gained over 3.7 million views, 4,500 likes, and around 3,500 comments – many of which thanked her for revealing this little-known risk. Here have a look at the video.

Natalie, who is doing her ultrasound clinical, claims that a doctor forewarned her not to use claw clips when using machinery or riding in vehicles. “They’ve seen girls who’ve gotten in car accidents with the clips impaled into their skull,” she explained. “It can be really fatal and really scary.”
Natalie has vowed never again to use claw clips in the car after hearing this suggestion, and to prove it, she later produced a follow-up video showing what she does in its place.

This follow-up video received around 150,000 likes and millions of views, indicating that it connected with TikTokers just as much as the original. Responses poured in, expressing gratitude to Natalie and disbelief at the revelation. One user commented, “New fear unlocked”. “I’m on a blood thinner and would probably die pretty quickly if this happened. Thanks for possibly saving my life!” Someone else made a comment. Others related their own frightening encounters with claw clips in automobiles. “I got into a crash while wearing a claw clip and ended up with serious pain and bruising. This is smart,” one user wrote.
Some viewers only expressed gratitude to Natalie for her advice. The headrest, which is intended to protect the neck in rear-end collisions, is one of the most underutilized safety measures in cars, according to specialists in vehicle safety. The experts advise leaving no more than 3 to 4 inches between the back of your neck and the headrest in order to improve the efficiency of your headrest.
Given the resurgence of claw clips, it would not be long before the dangers of hair ornaments are mentioned in automobile safety experts’ warnings. What do you think about this? Let us know in the comments below.
