Choosing clips & barrettes
Start with hair type and thickness. Fine or slippery hair usually holds better in clips with a textured or grippy inside surface and tighter teeth, while thick, heavy hair often needs a wider clip with a sturdy spring. Check how the clip closes too: a strong, even grip keeps it in place, but a spring that pinches can feel uncomfortable after long wear.
Look at size and shape next. Small claws suit quick twists and fine hair, larger jaw clips and barrettes hold more volume, and bobby-pin style grips are good for securing flyaways. Finish matters as well. Matte or smooth surfaces are easier on hair than rough or sharp edges, and metal or resin bases with rounded ends help prevent snags. If you have a fragrance or dye sensitivity, check the product's listed materials and care instructions before you buy.
How to use clips & barrettes
Clean hair with a gentle detangle before clipping, since knots and tangles can catch in the teeth. Gather hair at the position you want, slide the clip in from the base, and close it firmly so the hair sits inside the clip rather than hanging just on the edge. For a secure hold, twist the section once or twice before clipping. Avoid clipping damp hair tightly, as it can stretch and create creases.
Take clips out gently rather than yanking them, and remove them at night so they do not pull on the scalp during sleep. Pairing clips with other accessories can help you style more easily.

Questions about clips & barrettes
What size clip is best for thick hair?
Wider jaw clips and barrettes with a strong spring generally hold thick hair better than small claws, which may slip or pinch when the hair is full.
How do I stop a clip from slipping?
Use a section that is slightly twisted, make sure the clip grips hair at its base, and choose a model with a textured interior for smoother hair.
