10 Best Hair Clips 2024 | UK Makeup Artist Reviewed

We all know how irritating fragile hair clips can be, whether it's a broken tooth or the hinges snapping. Switching to these magnificent metal clips means you avoid this issue, plus they're a sustainable option!

Furthermore, the understated design of these hollow metal clips is totally chic and with a choice of three colours, you'll have a clip to match every outfit. It's not hard to see why these clips have received swathes of glowing reviews on Amazon as they're pretty much flawless - that's why they're our top pick!

Sometimes one hair clip just isn't enough - and with this huge selection of glamorous pins, it doesn't have to be! Stacking hair clips is currently a major fashion craze and pearls are very on-trend for 2022, so you have everything you need here to free your inner fashionista.

With an assortment of pretty muted colours and styles to suit all occasions, there's a hair clip here for every day of the year. It's probably the only collection you'll ever need on your dressing table!

These rectangular clips feature a timeless tortoiseshell design that will add a bit of pizzazz to any outfit. The colour scheme is still subtle though, meaning your hairstyle will remain centre stage.

The barrette design is incredibly simple to use so you'll be able to pin your hair up tidily in seconds. Sadly they're not very wide, meaning they won't be strong enough to support thicker hair. For fine tresses or partial updos, though, they're just the ticket!

The ultimate when it comes to practicality, these large claw clips are strong enough to hold even the thickest of locks out of your face when you're hitting the gym or applying make-up in the morning. 

The selection of six colours will allow you to match your hair clip with virtually any outfit, while the non-slip matte material ensures that they're easy to clip in and remove. The only downside is the fact that they're made from plastic, which may break over time.

Looking for the crème de la crème when it comes to hairstyling? Silver-plated and encrusted with crystals, this clip from luxury designers Ivory & Co. is a sure-fire way to bring some elegance to your look.

In fact, it would work wonderfully as a bridal accessory and the gorgeous presentation box means it'd make a lovely gift. It's perhaps a little too expensive to be worn day-to-day, but if you have a special event coming up then this is the perfect purchase!

For some people, hair clips are as much an opportunity to get creative as they are a way of generally jazzing up your look - these magnificent moon and star pins allow you to do both at the same time. 

They're not the most practical hair clips, as they won't be able to hold up all of your hair, but it's all about the artistic potential with these pins. Keep it simple with a few clips or add lots and create your own constellation - the possibilities are as endless as the galaxy itself!

The fashion industry has a large part to play in the reduction of plastics and the use of more sustainable materials is essential when it comes to preserving the environment. This handmade wooden hair clip shows us that you don't have to sacrifice style in order to be ethical!

It's super strong and with 3 prongs, it is capable of taming even the thickest locks, while the sleek finish means that it glides smoothly through your hair, preventing breakage. Plus, the vintage design complements the rustic material perfectly. The single downside is that you only get one clip for the price!

The medium hair claw is lovingly handmade in France under a family-run business. The clasp is made from steel to provide years of use and is accompanied by a cotton dust bag to prevent scuff marks. 

Size medium is stated for all hair types but is also stocked in sizes large, small and mini in a variety of colours to suit your outfit of choice. In addition, a video hair tutorial is accessible directly on their website.

Functionality doesn't always equal mundanity - with this assortment of pastel-coloured hair clips, you get a selection of accessories that perform well while ensuring that you stand out from the crowd too!

We've chosen the medium size here, but a range of sizes are available to suit every individual. The hinged tooth lock mechanism is secure and guaranteed to hold your hair in place all day. It's just a shame that the fine plastic teeth are prone to breaking.

Those who love to use clothing and accessories to express themselves will snap up these hair clips which spell out fourteen fun words using rhinestones. There's an expression suitable for most days here, and you could even combine words to create your own unique message.

The simple slide mechanism makes these bobby pins easy to use especially for thinner, finer hair, and there's no doubt that they make a bold statement! Unfortunately though, it's one that some may find a little garish.
