![Crocodile Clips: The Most Underrated Hair Accessory](http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/5017/8875612.jpg)
Since then I have grown addicted to my crocodile clip, and almost always have one on me -- either on my head, or on the strap of my handbag.
* Wearing my hair up
* Pinning my hair on top of my head for when I want to wake up with curls
* Pinning freshly washed hair on my crown in a big "pouf" for a root lift as it dries
* Pinning sections of hair I'm not working on out of the way, when making a more elaborate updo
* I prefer plastic to metal, I feel that the metal ones grip too tightly and may break the hair.
* Smooth crocodile clips are best for everyday use, since any kind of embellishment may snag hair.
Do you like crocodile clips? Or do they have a different name in your country? Do you match yours with your hair colour? I do.
Here is what I use my crocodile clip for:
* A half-ponytail-- my favourite hairdo* Wearing my hair up
* Pinning my hair on top of my head for when I want to wake up with curls
* Pinning freshly washed hair on my crown in a big "pouf" for a root lift as it dries
* Pinning sections of hair I'm not working on out of the way, when making a more elaborate updo
How to choose a crocodile clip:
* The best ones have teeth, that gives them a much better grip than the toothless ones.* I prefer plastic to metal, I feel that the metal ones grip too tightly and may break the hair.
* Smooth crocodile clips are best for everyday use, since any kind of embellishment may snag hair.
