How do you care for your clips?Updated 7 months ago

Cellulose Acetate requires extra care, including protection from high heat, and may show slight variations in colour and tooth placement due to the handmade nature of each clip.

Follow the below care instructions to extend your clips lifetime:

  • Heat - Avoid direct exposure to heat for elongated periods as it could cause exteneded stretch in the prongs, resulting in a loose grip.
  • Water - Cellulose Acetate is waterproof, but similar to any metal, the spring on your clip can rust if it is left in a moist environment for a long period of time. Avoid having the spring on your clip wet for long than 30 minutes at a time.
  • Stretch - If you notice the prongs of your clips loosening as a result of heat a great way to reset your clip is to allow it to soak in warm water (no hotter than 110F) for 5-10 minutes. After soaking, let your clip cool for 30 mins.
