Abstract
A hair accessory formed of a claw-type hair clip and a ribbon-like strip of natural or synthetic cut hair. The clip has two movable parts, each having comb-like tines with spaces therebetween. In the closed condition of the clip, the tines of one part are received in spaces of the other. One end of the ribbon-like strip of cut hair is fixed to an inside of the clip, and one or more individual groups of hair strands of the ribbon-like strip are lead through one or a plurality of between-tines spaces of the same clip part. The groups may be braided individually or combined on the outside of the clip to form a fewer number of braids than groups. Beads or other eye-catching embellishments may be attached to the braids for enhanced fashion effects. The individual hair groups may also be draped loosely from the clip. The cut hair can have the appearance of natural hair of the user, or can be primarily decorative.
