Product Insights
The Evil Eye Clip by Simons blends a protective 5,000-year-old motif with celebrity trend, using hypoallergenic acetate that feels heavier and warmer than standard plastic while preventing static, offering moderate hold for medium to thick hair at a $15 CAD value—half the cost of comparable clips—but requires meticulous care: avoid sunlight, heat, humidity, alcohol, and moisture to prevent warping, yellowing, and scratching, and the printed eye motif may fade over time, though the acetate itself resists yellowing and brittleness better than alternatives.
Verified claims
- Protective meaning
- Evil eye motif as protective amulet dates back 5,000 years.
- Fashion appeal
- Beyoncé's evil eye jewelry and Gigi Hadid's EyeLove shoe line have helped popularize the evil eye as a fashion symbol.
- Material
- Hypoallergenic acetate clip feels 25% heavier than standard plastic, stays warm, and prevents static.
- Care
- To prevent yellowing, warping, and white patches, store the clip away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity, avoid alcohol and moisture, and clean only with a soft damp cloth.
- Value
- At $15 CAD, this acetate clip costs about half the $26 RPZL Big Hair Claw Clip and well under the $36 Emi Jay version.
- Hair hold
- Moderate hold capacity suits medium-to-thick hair; very thick or long hair may need a larger clip or half-up styles for a secure hold.
- Humidity sensitivity
- Acetate absorbs 2–4% moisture, which can warp the clip and alter fit and hold.
- Longevity
- Cellulose acetate flexes under tension and absorbs impact, helping the clip avoid the hinge-cracking and shattering common in rigid plastic clips.
- Storage
- Store away from sunlight, heat, and humidity; rinse and dry after wetting.
- Chemicals
- Avoid alcohol-based products like perfume and hairspray to prevent white patches.
- Cleaning
- Clean with a soft damp cloth and mild soap; dry immediately.
- Durability
- The evil eye design is likely printed or painted on the surface and may wear off with frequent use or exposure to moisture.
- Hypoallergenic
- The cellulose acetate construction contains no BPA, phthalates, or petroleum-based irritants, making the clip safer for sensitive scalps and contact allergies.
- Static control
- The cellulose acetate material dissipates static charge, so the clip does not leave hair charged after removal and reduces static flyaways, especially in dry climates.
- Warm to touch
- The acetate construction prevents the cold-plastic sensation against the scalp, feeling neutral or warm at skin temperature for all-day comfort.
- Closure mechanism
- The clip is a hair claw clip with a spring mechanism that opens by pressing the two sides apart and snaps shut to secure hair.
- Value
- At $15 CAD, the clip costs about half as much as comparable acetate claw clips, delivering the premium material and an on-trend design for a basic-accessory price.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Evil Eye Clip: Choose this if you want a decorative eye-shaped barrette in Slate Blue: a glossy, translucent marbled acetate clip about 3 inches (8 cm) long, with a dark blue rim, pearlescent white sclera, turquoise iris and black pupil. The cellulose acetate build is described by Simons as flexible, durable and comfortable, and it comes in one size. Note it is a two-part clip with a stacked front and rear shell, so it has some visible thickness.[1,2] | Hummingbird Large Clip: Choose this if you want a large, statement hair clip with a whimsical hummingbird design: it measures 4.75 inches (12 cm), is made of cellulose acetate described by the retailer as flexible, durable, and comfortable, and features claw teeth along the lower edge for grip. It comes in one size in an Off White variant, with a translucent, iridescent finish showing pastel color shifts, pink and light blue internal stripes, a glossy black beak, and a textured yellow collar. Note the decorative detailing comes from the saved product imagery, so expect the look shown rather than verified in-hand construction.[3,4] | Fish Clip: Choose this if you want a playful fish-shaped accent clip with a colorful look: the Slate Blue variant has a glossy translucent body with marbled streaking, yellow fins with red striping, and a black face stripe, at a compact 3.25 inches (8.5 cm) long. It is made from cellulose acetate, which Simons describes as flexible, durable, and providing increased comfort, and it fastens with a visible metal spring clasp. Note it comes in one size only, and the spring mechanism is visible in the gap at the dorsal fin.[5,6] |
