Excellent Beautiful High Quality Clips. Just wish they made them in more colors/patterns. [SEP] I think this style of clip is called an alligator clip. You pinch one end and i opens and closes on that section of hair.It hold my fin, which hair very well.  I use them all the time. They seem of high quality too! Just wish they made a slightly smaller size ( I have a small head) and more colors and patterns. Super cute, but also sophisticated enough for a party or important event.
