Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to hair retention and securing devices that provide novel and efficient inconspicuous hair pins or clips that enable a user to retain his or her hair in a particular position while limiting the hair clip's exposure to the viewing public. The hair retention and securing device comprises a first leg pivotally connected to a second leg via a flexible member. The first and second legs are adapted to slide easily into hair and firmly hold the hair in place without crimping, creasing or causing damage the hair. The second leg is curved/contoured to fit comfortably against the scalp of the user.
