Duckbill clips are used to hold hair during styling, cutting or dyeing. They consist of two hinged parts and can be curved or straight. They can be used for setting curls, sectioning hair, and holding hair out of the way. Some have teeth for better grip.
Duckbill clips are clips that are used to hold hair while it is being styled, cut or dyed. These clips vaguely resemble ducks’ beaks. There are many uses for duckbill clips, making them very useful to keep around the home and bathroom, especially if you have long hair or like to experiment with various hair styles. Many stores carry duckbill clips along with other hair supplies, and they’re usually quite inexpensive.
Duckbill clips consist of two parts that are hinged on one side, opening like a beak. Typically one part of the clip has a small flange on the uncut side, to make it easier to open the clip and secure it in your hair. Some duckbill clips are curved, which can be useful when working close to the head, and others are straight. There are pros and cons to both varieties; for example, curved duckbill clips are comfortable against the skull, but may not be used as effectively to set curls.
One of the classic uses of duckbill clips is setting curls, which can be done with or without rollers. When using rollers, the clip is used to secure the roller to your head, ensuring the hair does not unfurl as the curl sets. People can also curl the hair around their fingers and then secure it with a duckbill clip to hold it while the curl sets, creating a curl that tends to be looser and more natural looking.
You can also use duckbill clips to section and hold your hair. For example, the clips could hold a layer of hair that needs to be cut to a different length, or they could be used to section strips of hair for highlighting. Duckbill clips can also simply hold hair out of the way while stylists work on a section of the head; they’re often used this way on people with thick, thick hair that gets in the way when cutting and styling.
Depending on the design, duckbill clips can have tiny teeth to help grip the hair, or they can be plain. Jagged clips are more secure, but they can also be uncomfortable, especially if they are pulled out abruptly. You may also see duckbill clips attached to hair ornaments, in which case the clip itself is buried deep in the hairstyle so it can’t be seen, while the ornament dangles outside.
