Securing Shoulder-Length Hair or a Bun
The medium clip measures 9 cm and is intended for holding shoulder-length hair or securing a bun. It is designed to provide a firm, comfortable hold that does not slip.[1,2]
Picking the right size for your hair
Unique Plastique's sizing guide lists the medium 9 cm clip for shoulder-length hair or for wearing your hair in a bun. If you have a lot of hair, the brand suggests going up a size — the grande measures 11 cm and is meant for long hair or holding all of your hair at once. For shorter styles, the petite size measures 6 cm.[1]
