99% of people don’t know the secret behind hair clips

🧷 Different Types, Different Purposes

There are dozens of hair clip styles, and each has its own best use:

• Snap Clips: Best for small sections, kids’ hairstyles, and taming flyaways.
• Alligator Clips: A stylist’s go-to for sectioning hair during cuts or color.
• Jaw Clips (Claw Clips): Great for quick updos and buns, with minimal tension on roots.
• Barrettes: Stylish and functional — perfect for holding thicker hair or adding flair.
• Duckbill Clips: Ideal for setting curls or blow-drying in sections.

🔧 Pro Tip: Clean Your Clips!

Hair clips collect oil, product residue, and dust — which can reduce grip and cause breakage. Give them a quick clean every couple of weeks with warm water and gentle soap, especially if you use them daily.

The Bottom Line

Hair clips may seem simple, but there’s more to them than meets the eye. With the right technique and knowledge, you can turn these everyday tools into powerful styling allies — all while treating your hair with more care and intention.

So the next time you reach for a clip, remember: you’re part of the 1% who knows the secret.
