Collection: Side Hair Clips

Choose a shape and size

First decide how much hair you want to move away from your face. For a slim sweep near the temple, look for a narrower shape; for a more noticeable accent or a wider section, compare the barrette and duck-bill silhouettes. Exact measurements are on each product page, so check them against the section you plan to gather.

Think about the finish of your outfit, too. A teardrop or oval shape gives a simple outline, while polka dots, crystals, or a leaf motif add visible detail. The Cellulose Acetate Teardrop Barrette works well when you want the clip shape to be the focus; the Crystal Rose Duck-Bill Side Hair Clip brings a more decorative touch. Choose one focal point if your earrings or neckline already have detail.

How to wear side hair clips

For a clean side sweep, make a part where you want it, then comb a small section from the front toward the side. Smooth the section with your fingers, position the clip over it, and close it. Check the result from the front and adjust the section before closing the clip again if needed.

For a softer look, leave a few face-framing pieces free and gather only the hair just behind them. You can also twist the section once before clipping it for a little shape, or place a clip above the ear to finish a low ponytail or loose bun. Keep the clip near the gathered section rather than using it to pull a large amount of hair across your head. Pair a patterned clip, such as the Wavy Polka Dot Acetate Side Clip, with a simple top or a neat side part so its detail is easy to see.

Materials and everyday care

This collection uses acetate, metal, and fabric, with details such as crystals and floral styling. Choose acetate for a shaped, patterned look, or pick a crystal or embroidered detail when you want an accent beside the face. Product pages list the material and exact measurements, which makes it easier to compare the scale of each style before choosing.

After wearing a clip, remove it gently rather than pulling it through your hair. Wipe away product residue with a soft, dry cloth and store clips separately so their surfaces and decorative details do not rub against other accessories. Avoid forcing a clip open or closed; use it as designed and set it aside if it feels difficult to operate.
