What Makes a Good Hair Clip for Women?
Spoiler: It Doesn’t Rip Your Hair Out.
If you’ve ever ended a long day only to wince while removing your hair clip—snagging, pulling, or just wondering why it felt like you were carrying a brick on your head—you’re not alone.
At I Am More, we believe that hair accessories should enhance your day, not work against it. Whether you're juggling meetings, school pick-ups, or simply enjoying a moment of quiet luxury, the right hair clip is the kind that holds your style in place without adding bulk or damage.
Here’s What to Look for in a Great Hair Clip
Lightweight, But Secure
The best hair clips hold without the weight. You want something that grips your hair firmly—without being too tight—and doesn’t give you a headache halfway through the day. A well-designed spring or subtle tension ensures it stays put.
Flat-Laying Design
Bulky clips can create discomfort when you lean back, drive, or lie down. A sleek, low-profile silhouette is key—especially for women who want their hair out of the way without sacrificing comfort or style.
No-Snag Finish
Say goodbye to clips that catch and rip out strands. The ideal hair clip should glide out easily, even after hours of wear. Smooth edges, polished finishes, and thoughtfully placed teeth can make all the difference.
Style Meets Substance
Let’s face it—we want our accessories to look good too. A great hair clip should feel like an extension of your outfit: functional, yes, but also fashion-forward. Whether it's matte neutrals or high-gloss tortoise, the right material elevates the everyday.

Why the Right Hair Clip Matters
Hair health is about more than just shampoo and heat protectant—your accessories play a role, too. Gentle, well-designed clips help reduce breakage, tension, and unnecessary wear on your strands, especially if you style your hair the same way every day.
So whether you're on day 2 (or 5) hair or need something that takes you from barre class to boardroom, a well-made hair clip is the unsung hero of a polished look.
