To use this hair clip, simply open the clip and slide it into your hair where you want it. You can clip it onto a ponytail, a bun, or just some loose strands for a cute accent. When using it, be careful not to open the clip too wide as it might lose its grip over time. To maintain it, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratching the acrylic or damaging the pearls. You can clean it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store it in a small jewelry box or a pouch to prevent it from getting tangled with other items.
