This is the finest clip available. It's made in France and is more expensive, but it's just plain better. Copies usually have a removable metal bar in the middle, which often falls out, rendering the hair ornament unwearable. That's why we only use the French automatic clip. French clips are perfect for anyone with a full head of hair. We offer this clip in four sizes: 2", 2 1/2", 2 3/4", and 3 1/4" (for women).
