The 6 hidden functions of hair clips

While hair clips are primarily designed for styling hair, they can indeed have some surprising alternative uses. Here’s a breakdown of some of those “hidden functions”:

Beyond Hair Styling:

• Organization:
  • Small hair clips can be used to organize cords and cables, keeping them tidy and preventing tangles.
  • They can also be used to clip together papers, receipts, or other small documents.
  • They are great for keeping chip bags closed.
• Household Hacks:
  • Some hair clips can be used as makeshift chip clips or to seal bags of food.
  • They can also be used to hold fabric or other materials together while sewing or crafting.
  • Some people use them to help with hemming pants, or other quick clothing fixes.
• Beauty and Personal Care:
  • Small hair clips can be used to apply false eyelashes or to hold down stray hairs while applying makeup.
  • They can help to hold sections of hair while applying facial masks.
• Travel:
  • Hair clips can be used to secure rolled-up clothing in your luggage, saving space.
  • They can also be used to clip together travel-sized toiletries.
• First Aid (in a pinch):
  • In an emergency, a clean hair clip could potentially be used to hold a small bandage in place.
• Marking and Securing:
  • Hair clips can be used as temporary page markers in books.
  • They can also be used to secure the ends of yarn or thread.

It’s important to note that the suitability of these alternative uses will depend on the type and size of the hair clip.
