Why are acetate hair clips expensive?

2025-12-19
Cellulose acetate is made from natural and eco-friendly materials (cotton, wood pulp), rather than ordinary petroleum-based plastics.

The raw materials themselves are expensive, and there are stricter requirements for their purity and stability. The acetate material is produced through Xinmei Factory's process, and the entire production of acetate hair clips, from raw materials to finished products, is completed in our own factory.

In contrast, ordinary hair clips use inexpensive plastics such as ABS, acrylic, or resin. Their quality and material gloss are quite ordinary, whereas acetate materials have a shiny surface, are durable, and impact-resistant. Acetate hair clips are not easily damaged.
