Red Hair Clips for School: Why the Colour Actually Matters

Not all red is the same red.

What to look for in red hair clips for school

When you're buying red hair clips for school, the colour is the obvious thing. But it's not the only thing.

The clips need to actually grip. Thin plastic clips look fine in the packet and spend the rest of their career sliding to the end of a ponytail doing nothing structural. A clip that grips doesn't have to be industrial - it just has to work.

The bobbles need elastic with some life in it. Not so tight it hurts. Not so loose it unravels by 10am. Just the right amount of resistance so that a ponytail stays a ponytail.

And the headband needs to sit comfortably for a full school day. If it hurts by break time, it's coming off by lunch.

Classette's red set

Classette's red hair accessories set comes with  14 or 15 pieces - clips, bobbles and a headband - all in the same regulation red. No mismatched tones. No guessing whether it'll pass muster at the school gate.

The gift set even comes in a canvas carry sack, because "I can't find my clips" is a sentence no parent needs to hear at 7:15am. Everything in one place. Plastic-free packaging. Ethically made in a certified factory.

£19.99 with free UK shipping. Available at classette.co.uk and on Amazon UK.
