About this ebook

Hair Clip Secures explores the surprisingly rich history of hair clips, framing them as artifacts that reflect significant shifts in society, technology, and design. From early handcrafted versions to mass-produced accessories, the book investigates how these small objects mirror broader historical trends and cultural values. The evolution of hair clips reveals changes in manufacturing, from artisanal methods to industrial production, and highlights the impact of materials like celluloid and plastics.

The book also emphasizes the hair clip's connection to women's history, showing how evolving hairstyles and accessories reflect changing gender roles and increasing social freedom. As women entered the workforce, the demand for functional yet fashionable hair accessories grew, turning the hair clip into a symbol of independence. By examining advertisements, patents, and oral histories, the book uncovers the cultural significance of these everyday objects.

Structured in three parts, Hair Clip Secures begins with the origins of hair clips around 1900, then explores the impact of mass production and industrial design, and finally analyzes their role in contemporary fashion. This approach, blending design history, social history, and material culture, provides a unique lens for understanding the intersection of design, society, and everyday life.
