Product Insights
The Simons Elongated Clip is an affordable, lightweight plastic barrette that uses a tension-only design instead of a metal spring, eliminating snagging and rust while providing a sleek, tight hold for half-up styles or low looped buns—but it is limited to fine to medium hair, may crease hair from compression, and becomes brittle in cold temperatures requiring pre-warming.
Verified claims
- Volume
- At 4.5 inches, the tension clasp suits fine-to-medium hair and may not securely hold very thick or heavy hair.
- Cold weather
- Clip becomes brittle in cold; warm before use to avoid breakage.
- Hair compatibility
- Lightweight and snag-free for fine hair, but volume limited and may crease.
- Hold
- Barrette holds hair flat for a sleek look but may crease; it is best for fine to medium hair and may not securely hold very thick or heavy hair.
- Snag risk
- No metal spring: gradual release prevents snagging and breakage.
- Water safe
- The plastic body resists rust and won't warp from moisture, but the gold-tone metal hinge/rivet can corrode if left soaking, so dry the clip after damp or wet use.
- Competitive pricing
- Jumbo-size clip at $9, half the price of a comparable acetate barrette.
- Barrette constraints
- No-spring design avoids snagging and suits fine to medium hair best; very thick or heavy hair may not be secure, and it may crease.
- Styling
- Sleek, tight hold for half-up and low-loop buns; compression may crease hair.
- Mechanism
- Tension-only design eliminates spring snap-back; the plastic may become brittle in cold, and the gold-tone metal hinge/rivet can corrode if left wet.
- Construction
- Lightweight plastic clip with a metal rivet — no spring to snag hair or rust.
- Use case
- Secures a low looped bun without elastics; best for fine to medium hair volume.
- Creasing
- Flat compression creates tension and can leave a temporary crease.
- Jumbo size classification
- At 4.5 inches (11.5 cm), the clip is a large claw clip that sits just below the 4.75–5.5-inch band Simons labels oversized or very large, so it reads as a big everyday clip rather than a true jumbo.
- Full ponytail suitability
- With its 4.5-inch length, the clip can secure a half-up style or a full twist on fine-to-medium hair, but it may not securely hold very thick or heavy hair.

Clipping hair up in a twist
A glossy elongated claw clip for gathering hair up and holding it in place. Its curved two-jaw design forms a wide mouth when opened, so you can fit a twisted or gathered section of hair between the jaws and clamp it shut.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Elongated Clip: Choose this if you want a lightweight plastic claw clip in a sleek, elongated curved shape — it measures 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) long and has rounded jaws that form a wide mouth when opened. Its high-gloss finish comes in Black, Mint/Pistachio Green, and Red, and a small gold-tone metal rivet at the central hinge adds a subtle metallic accent. Note that it comes in one size only, so it may not suit those needing an adjustable or larger clip.[1,2] | Rounded-Tooth Large Clip: Choose this if you want a large claw clip in a one-size format, measuring 4 inches (10 cm) long, made of cellulose acetate that the brand describes as flexible, durable, and comfortable. Its wide, glossy top paddle and thick rounded teeth with hooked ends suit a classic claw-clip look, and it comes in Black, Patterned Ecru, and Chocolate/Espresso colorways. Note that the listed care information covers only the cellulose acetate composition, with no specific care instructions provided.[3,4] | Long Rounded Barrette: Choose this if you want a long, gently curved 4-inch (10.5 cm) plastic and metal barrette with a minimalist, polished look that works for casual and formal outfits. Reviewers with thick or long hair report the internal rubber band and dark fabric- or foam-lined channel give a secure all-day hold without readjusting, while the smooth-coated arm glides without snagging or tearing strands. It comes in one size in Black, Off White, and Red, though the hold and snag-free reports come from a paraphrased analysis of reviews rather than the original testimonials.[5,6] |

Good quality clip
Very good clip. I have thick hair and it holds it all without slipping. Nice color too. I would recommend.
Kind of ugly in a good way
Large sturdy clip that I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of.
