Clips Pins & Rubber Bands

This collection sits within the Electricals & Accessories group under Hair, and is scoped to clips, pins and rubber bands. This is a new addition to the confirmed subcategory list, not previously seen in earlier navigation checks. Confirmed directly from the live page: Magic Accessories is currently the only brand in this collection.

Top Brands Available in Clips Pins & Rubber Bands

Magic Accessories (Magic Collection) is the sole confirmed brand — bobby pins (regular, jumbo, mini, in black, bronze and dark brown), jumbo clips, duck bill clips, metal double and single prong clips, and hair pins in various pack sizes. This is a single-brand, single-purpose collection rather than a broad multi-brand range.

Common Problems Customers Face

A few different needs bring people to this collection:

• Securing an updo or style in place — bobby pins and clips are the basic building blocks of most pinned hairstyles.
• Sectioning hair while styling or colouring — duck bill and double prong clips hold sections apart without a permanent crease.
• Matching pin colour to hair colour — visible pins can look accidental rather than intentional if the colour doesn't match.
• Needing a specific pin size for fine detail work — jumbo, regular and mini bobby pins each suit different hair thicknesses and section sizes.

How This Collection Addresses Those Problems

Here's how the range maps to those needs:

• Securing styles — the regular, jumbo and mini bobby pin options cover most hairstyling needs from fine detail work to securing thicker sections.
• Sectioning while styling or colouring — duck bill clips and double/single prong clips are built specifically for temporary sectioning rather than a finished look.
• Colour matching — bobby pins in black, bronze and dark brown cover the most common hair colour ranges, reducing how visible pins look once in place.

In the UK, these are also commonly called hair grips or kirby grips — worth knowing if you're searching under a different term than the one used here.

How to Choose the Right Clip or Pin

A few starting points:

1. Match pin colour to your hair for a more discreet, intentional-looking finish.
2. Use the wavy side facing your scalp — this is the standard way to wear a bobby pin for maximum grip.
3. Jumbo pins suit thicker sections or coarser hair, while mini pins suit finer detail work or shorter hair.

None of this replaces checking what a specific product is intended for.

Usage and Care Tips

Opening a bobby pin slightly wider than needed before inserting it, rather than forcing it in closed, generally reduces bending and extends how long a pin lasts. Storing pins in a small container rather than loose in a drawer makes them easier to find and less likely to get lost.

What are bobby pins called in the UK?

Which way should I wear a bobby pin?

 With the wavy, crinkled side facing down toward your scalp — this maximises grip and helps prevent the pin from sliding out.
