US Classification:

Abstract:

A hair clip formed of a molded shape-memory plastic body having an elongate protruding tail with a pronounced bulge tapering to a distal point, the inward length of the tail following a slight arcuate curve to a sharp elbow, which doubles back on itself to a curved hook positioned approximately midway along the tail. The upwardly-turned hook terminates at a blunt point and generally defining a semi-circle. In use, the distal point of the elongate protruding tail is inserted under a lock of hair, and the bulged portion of the tail biased up and over the curved hook end such that the bulged portion of the tail seats itself within the contour of the open hook, firmly clamping the lock of hair therein. In addition, an ornamental assembly is removably attached to the curved hook end of said molded plastic body and extends from the device for aesthetics.
