How to find a Great Hair Clip





When selecting a hair clip, consider the following:

1) lightweight - you want a clip that will not cause stress on your hair from its weight. The green colored hair clip pictured is lightweight plastic, and is lead and nickel-free.
2) a curve fit - you want a curve to align the curvature of your head. Notice the closure is NOT straight but more like a wave?
3) smooth edges - you do not want any rough edges that will snare your hair. Watch out for hinges that may harm your hair.

The green colored hair clip was purchased from a local "Mexican" convenience store for about one dollar. ($1) A great deal and they had the clip in color "Black" as well!

The "Black" jeweled hair clip was purchased from Sallys Beauty Supply. It was about $8.00 US Dollars. The packaging does not mention anything about being free of lead nor nickel. It is relatively lightweight. The black, more elegant hair clip probably should be worn with more corporate, professional attire. Also, longer, coarser hair may be a better fit from a weight perspective.

The green hair clip is the most affordable and the obvious healthier choice.
