High-quality hair clips are an investment — and with the right care, they will last you for years. Here’s our compact guide.
Material Science: What Are You Dealing With?
- Acetate: Plant-based, vibrant colors, sensitive to heat.
- Resin: Robust, lightweight, water-resistant.
- Metal: Strong, but can oxidize when wet.
- Pearl/Rhinestone: Delicate bonding — never immerse in water!
Daily Care
Wipe your clips with a soft cloth after each use — this removes hairspray, oils, and sweat. Store them dry in a small box, not openly in the bathroom.
What to Avoid
- Heat (no direct blow-drying, no hot car)
- Aggressive cleaners or alcohol
- Contact with perfume and hairspray mist
- Wearing them during sports or swimming
Cleaning Step-by-Step
- Dampen with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soapy water.
- Gently brush dirt from the teeth with a soft toothbrush.
- Rinse with clear water.
- Immediately pat dry with a soft cloth.
- Allow to air dry completely before putting them away.
Repairing Minor Damage
Loose springs can often be adjusted with a little patience. For breaks, a super glue kit for jewelry is worthwhile. For major damage, we recommend replacement — the safety of your hair comes first.
