I would NOT recommend purchasing this item. The illustration does not show an accurate representation of the "claw" portion which is so small, it will hardly hold any hair. This is surely meant for a baby or toddler. Smoothies will hold you responsible despite anything, and you will have to pay the shipping to get it and the shipping to return it if you don't like it. Move on to another item and save yourself the trouble. I might as well throw it in the garbage. Pricey for a tiny little clip.
