Anyone who needs to section or pin hair during cutting, coloring, or styling, used by professional stylists in-salon and by consumers at home for DIY color application, blowouts, or roller sets. Suitable for most hair types and textures.

These clips solve a basic but constant need in any styling routine or color service, keeping already-processed or already-sectioned hair separated from the hair currently being worked on. Being metal rather than molded plastic, they keep spring tension through repeated opening/closing and won't warp or crack the way lighter clips can.

Squeeze the two handles together to open the prongs, place the clip at the base of the section to be held, and release to let it clamp shut. Use them to divide hair into working sections before a color, cut, or blow-dry, or to pin a curl flat against the head after setting it on a roller or with a curling iron. Wipe clips clean after each use; they are reusable.

Pros: metal construction holds spring tension better than plastic and grips thick/dense sections without slipping; double-prong design opens wide enough to section large amounts of hair at once; reusable and easy to wipe clean between uses. Cons: metal prongs can pinch if snapped shut carelessly near the scalp; not designed for direct heat contact; no non-stick coating, so they can occasionally catch and pull very fine or damaged hair.
