Description
This kids' hair claw clip takes the shape of a butterfly, its two wings opening out from a clear central hinge. The upper wings are painted in soft mint green and peach, traced with fine black veins and oval spots, and a bright coral stripe sweeps across each one. The lower wings fade to a creamy, pearly tone, edged with a scalloped coral border and a row of black dots, much as a real butterfly's markings fall. The clip is made from acrylic with a metal spring, and its plastic parts are made from 100% recycled plastic. It measures 9.8cm wide, 7.8cm long and 4.8cm high, a generous size for gathering hair at the back of the head.
We like it for school mornings and weekends alike, whenever hair needs to stay tidy and out of the face without fuss. Twist a ponytail up at the back and let the wings sit open across it, or clip back a front section for a half-up style; either way the butterfly takes centre stage. Its pastel colours sit happily with summer dresses, school jumpers and everyday clothes, and the coral and black detail keeps it from looking too sugary. Between wears it looks pretty on a dressing table or bedroom shelf, and it is small enough to slip into a bag or pencil case for days out.
The jaws open on a coiled metal spring and close with a row of interlocking comb teeth, so it grips the hair rather than pinning it. The wings have a smooth, glossy finish, with a soft translucence where the paler areas catch the light. To keep it looking its best, wipe it now and then with a soft damp cloth and let it dry before putting it away. Wrapped in tissue paper, it makes a small, cheerful gift that will be worn again and again.
