Hairdressing Essentials Hair Clips

In this video, Nick Davis shows you various types of hair clips, and what they are used for. He also discusses what makes a good hair clip.

Hi my name's Nick Davis from Simplicity Remastered, and today I'm here to talk to you about what's in my equipment bag. Here is a selection of sectioning clips as you can see they all come in various shapes, forms and sizes. We have butterfly clips; Regular, all plastic clips; Combination of plastic and metal.

We have aluminum, we have steel. We also have long hair clips here. What makes a good clip is, first things first, quality, and the strength of the actual spring mechanism.

The job of a clip is to hold the hair. I personally use these, for when I cut, because they leave very little marks in the hair. This clip and the butterfly clip, I would use for people with very very thick heavy hair.

And these other clips, are more general, and can be used for cutting and dressing hair.
