Abstract
A fashion hair accessory comprises a claw type hair clip formed by hinged-together clip elements with interleaved tines, combined with strip sections of artificial hair. The strip sections of hair are formed with selvage-like margins at one end which are engaged with the clip elements adjacent to the tines. The selvage-like margins are secured alternatively to inside or outside walls of the clip elements, or optionally both inside and outside. The clip elements are joined along a hinge axis and have gripping elements on the side of said axis opposite from the tines. At least some of the strands of hair extend over and at least partly cover external surfaces of the clip elements. A strikingly attractive accessory is achieved, which may be inexpensively produced at low cost.
