Abstract
A butterfly clip includes a body section, a first clip section and a second clip section. When pressure is applied to the body section to invert the body section from a concave orientation to a convex orientation, the first clip section and the second clip section secure a user's hair between the clips and the body section. Since there are two clip sections applying pressure against the body section, the butterfly clip securely remains in place in the user's hair. To release the butterfly clip, an opposing pressure is applied so that the clip sections move away from the body section.

In some embodiments, the butterfly clip matches hair colors such as blonde, brunette, black and red so that the butterfly clip matches the hair when left in the hair.
- The butterfly clip is able to be any size. In some embodiments, the butterfly clip is approximately 2-4 inches long. The butterfly clip is able to be any shape and is not limited to a butterfly shape. For example, the butterfly clip is able to be oval, circular or any other shape. In some embodiments, the butterfly clip includes designs or decorations such as rhinestones or glitter to add to the appearance of the butterfly clip.
- To utilize the butterfly clip, a user inserts the clip into the user's hair with the desired hair inserted between the clip sections and the body section. Then, the user applies pressure so that the body section inverts to a closed position. With the body inverted, the body section and the clip sections apply pressure against each other sandwiching the hair in the middle. To remove the butterfly clip, the user applies pressure so that the body section inverts back to the open position which enables the butterfly clip to slip out of the user's hair.
- In operation, the butterfly clip is able to hold a person's hair in place better than standard clips. By utilizing two clip sections, more hair is contained within the hair clip than a single clip device, thus a user's hair is secured in place better. The butterfly clip has an over-center bend which also provides for a more secure fit.
- The present invention has been described in terms of specific embodiments incorporating details to facilitate the understanding of principles of construction and operation of the invention. Such reference herein to specific embodiments and details thereof is not intended to limit the scope of the claims appended hereto.
