Hi Susan,

Wrapping the clip appears to be a good idea!

Is that your silky and shiny hair held up with the clip? (I'm guessing it is.) Your hair is beautiful!

I added a new part to my website on how to make concord clips hair safe(er). The vote is still out on whether these things are truly hair safe, but I ran some hair from my brush up and down these clips before and after the clip-fix, and after was definitely better on the hair than before. (Before it bent and cut the hair terribly).

http://www.geocities.com/thespookstress/concordclip.html

Note: People always say Ficcare clips are hair safe. I never owned one, so I don't know, but I definitely saw damage after using my knock-off brand ones - they have very sharp edges and a tight spring.

Also, I have a couple of plastic ones from walmart that I believe are already hair safe. They have much rounder edges, and loose springs (but they also shoot right out of my hair and don't hold anything).

Edited to say: Sorry if you can't view my page the first try, if too many people go at once, geocities gets overloaded. Please try again later.
