How long can acetate hair clips and regular hair clips last?

2025-12-19
The lifespan of a genuine acetate hair clip (not 'acetate pattern plastic') is 3–8 years, and many clips can even last over 10 years, as long as the springs and hardware are of normal quality.

❌ Do not expose to sunlight for long periods / Do not use high heat to blow-dry
❌ Do not forcefully open every day

With these precautions, they can be used long-term, are sturdy and durable, and won’t feel cheap.

Ordinary hair clips (plastic / acrylic / resin) have a lifespan of about 3 months to 2 years. They are inexpensive but low quality, prone to breaking teeth, and difficult to secure hair effectively. Cheap plastic also ages and can deform in high summer temperatures.

Compared to plastic, acrylic, and resin, acetate materials undergo various tests and inspections, which is why acetate hair clips are currently popular and will continue to be popular in the future.
