Hair-clip fit guide

Every Carat & Clip hair accessory is hand-tested on three hair types to ensure reliable grip without damage.

  • Fine / straight hair: French-hinge clips < 6 cm, bow barrettes, small pins. Layer two if needed.
  • Medium / wavy: Most styles work \u2014 8\u201310 cm French hinge or snap clips.
  • Thick / curly / extensions: Extra-grip French hinge (> 10 cm), combs, juda pins. Avoid small barrettes.
  • Hair vines & gajras: One size fits all; secures with concealed pins supplied.

Anti-tarnish care

  • Last on, first off. Put jewellery on after perfume, sunscreen and hair products. Remove it first.
  • Wipe after wear. A soft dry cloth removes skin oils and dust.
  • Keep away from water. Remove before showering, swimming, or sleeping.
  • Never spray perfume directly on plated pieces.

With these four habits, pieces stay lustrous for 12\u201318 months of daily wear.

Storage

  • Keep each piece in its anti-tarnish pouch, sealed.
  • Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Do not stack multiple pieces \u2014 plating can scratch.
  • Travel tip: use the pouch inside a zip pocket \u2014 pearls love a padded home.
