A hair clip is a hair accessory that secures, holds or adorns a hairstyle by means of a clamping mechanism (spring, claw, snap). Hair clips are at once functional and decorative: they keep hair off the face, fix strands or a whole hairstyle and serve as an adornment. They come in the most varied kinds — from tiny bobby pins and practical claw clips to large striking clips adorned with stones, pearls or enamel. Recently expressive decorative hair clips have undergone a powerful fashion revival, becoming an accent of a look in their own right. A hair clip is a hair accessory with a clamping mechanism, in which the practical function of fixing a hairstyle combines with a decorative role that ranges from an inconspicuous bobby pin to a large, striking embellished clip — an accent of fashion in its own right.
