Product Insights
The Orange Cat Clip from Simons is a $15 in-stock 7 cm hair accessory made of polished cellulose acetate derived from wood pulp or cotton fibre, with hold provided by a separate metal spring connector rather than flexing the acetate body. Its low-profile, low-friction design is built for all-day wear and grips all hair types from thin to thick, though very thick or heavy hair may require a larger clip; the polished acetate also reduces snags, crease marks, and static compared with molded plastic. The glossy surface is not invincible—it scratches from keys or sand (marks don't affect hold), yellows in UV, clouds from chemicals, warps in humidity above 70%, and springs corrode, so daily care is essential: keep it dry, cool, and away from direct sun, metal, and heat; require hairspray or perfume to dry before insertion; clean only with lukewarm neutral soap on a damp microfiber without soaking; and polish every 2–3 months to preserve gloss for 1–2 years. The plant-based acetate is structurally animal-free but not certified vegan, and it degrades only under active microbial conditions, not casual outdoor exposure. Visually, the orange cat design set into the acetate references the one orange braincell meme, with white belly and paw accents keeping it clearly visible on both blonde and dark hair. At Can$15, it ties with Simons' Colourful Matte Oversized Clip, leaving design, colourway, and footprint as deciding factors—here, the 7 cm orange-cat novelty versus a plain blue 4.25-inch statement clip.
Verified claims
- Fit
- Polished 7 cm clip is a low-profile, low-friction fit for all-day wear.
- Hair type hold
- Flexible acetate teeth grip all hair types from thin to thick, though very thick or heavy hair may need a larger clip.
- Care
- Scratches from metal, yellows in UV, clouds from chemicals, warps in humidity, and springs corrode; daily care extends life.
- Storage and handling
- Keep dry, cool, away from direct sun, metal, and heat: humidity above 70% can warp the teeth or corrode the spring.
- Gentleness
- Acetate's low-friction surface reduces snags and the risk of crease marks compared with molded plastic clips.
- Friction and static
- Polished cellulose acetate creates less static and snagging in hair than molded ABS.
- Eco-friendliness
- Plant-based cellulose acetate only degrades under active microbial conditions, not casual outdoor exposure.
- Hinge
- Hold comes from a separate metal spring connector, not from flexing the acetate body.
- Same-brand choice
- At Can$15, this clip and Simons' Colourful Matte Oversized Clip tie; design, colourway and footprint decide.
- Solvent damage
- Hairspray or perfume must dry before the clip goes in; wet solvents permanently cloud acetate.
- Cleaning
- Clean with lukewarm neutral soap on a damp microfiber; no soaking, heat or solvent wipes.
- Scratch resistance
- Glossy acetate scratches from keys or sand; the marks don't affect its hold.
- Polishing
- Polish every 2–3 months removes micro-scratches and preserves the gloss for 1–2 years.
- Pattern
- Set into the acetate, the orange cat design channels the one orange braincell meme.
- Hair-color visibility
- White belly and paw accents keep the orange cat clearly visible on blonde and dark hair.
- Material
- Body is cellulose acetate from wood pulp or cotton fibre; hinge is metal
- Vegan certification
- Structurally animal-free but not certified vegan
- Hair glide
- Polished acetate slides with less friction and less static than molded plastic
- Range choice
- At the same Can$15 as the Colourful Matte Oversized Clip, it is the 7 cm orange-cat novelty to that plain-blue 4.25-inch statement clip.

Theory connecting cat's aggression to car accident trauma
When we first see Simon he seems happy to meet Steve. Then he gets hit by a car as he tries to cross to Steve. Now he associates Steve with the pain of being hit by a car. That or he’s just an asshole Orange cat.
