Abstract

The present disclosure provides a hair clip. The clip has a first leg portion and a second leg portion formed from a wire, the wire configured by bending such that the first and second leg portions are biased toward each other and at default lie in contact or at least adjacent to each other, and substantially parallel to each other, for securing hair therebetween. The wire is provided with a first coating of a paint material on an entire surface of the wire. Each of the first and second leg portions forms an outwardly facing surface and an inwardly facing surface, the first and second leg portions being provided with a second coating of an anti-slipping material only over the inwardly facing surface and on the first paint material coating such that the outwardly facing surface of the first and second leg portions is free of the anti-slipping coating.
