Abstract: A hair clip includes a first paddle extending from a first tab. The first paddle has at least a portion with a width that is greater than a width of the first tab. The first paddle has a first curved shape. A second paddle extends from a second tab. The second paddle has at least a portion with a width that is greater than a width of the second tab. The second tab is connected to the first tab. The second paddle has a second curved shape. The second paddle overlapping the first paddle. A biasing element is disposed between the first tab and the second tab. The biasing element applies a biasing force to the first and second paddles so that in a rest position, the first and second paddles are in a closed position, and, in a use position, a first force is applied to the first tab and a second force is applied to the second tab so that the first tab and second tab are moved closer to one another and the first and second paddles are moved further apart from one another than in the rest position.
