Abstract
A claw type or octopus type hair clip includes a first side, a second side, a hinge pin that pivotally couples the first side to the second side, and a lock that prevents the first side and the second side from undesirably pivoting to an open arrangement. The hair clip may include features, such as tabs that may be pressed together, that release the lock to enable the hair clip to be opened and placed over an object, such as an individual's hair. When lock-releasing features are released, the lock engages, enabling the first side and second side of the hair clip to be pivotally closed while preventing the first side and second side from pivotally opening.
