Now you can leave those frustrations behind and enjoy good hair days with your hair comfortably secured by your own unique and attractive Butterfly clip. This clip is a must have!

This innovative clip was designed and patented in South Africa and today, the manufacture of the combs and the weaving of the beads, creates employment for many who are struggling to sustain a simple life. Each hair clip is created with two hair combs (also called hair slides) which are uniquely woven together with stretch elastic ornately threaded with beads. The hair combs have been made from a strong, durable plastic and come in Blonde, Brunette, Ebony and Clear colours. The result is a high quality, tough and magnificent hair accessory.

The Clips
The clips come woven in different designs to suit varying tastes. If you are more into the natural look, then you'll enjoy the rustic appearance of the natural, wooden or bone beads. For those who are after glamour and sparkle; you'll love the shiny, classy beads to add a touch of elegance to your overall look. No matter who you are, you're sure to find a clip to fit your image.

The clips designs are forever evolving making each clip is more or less unique. The clips are attractively woven by many disparate African people. They are given the combs and beads to take home, where they can weave them together in the comfort of their own environment. By working from home, it means they can carry on caring for the young and old alike. The beading can be done in their own time and at their own pace so as to suit their lifestyle. There are no set beading designs to work from, hence each beader weaves a new design each time depending on the beads they have and the ideas they come up with. As their beads and tastes differ, there is a never ending change in the way the clips look.
