Learn how to clean, store, and maintain your Glow Recipe pink hair clips so they stay cute and functional for everyday use.

Quick Answer

To keep your Glow Recipe pink hair clips looking their best, gently clean them with mild soap and water, avoid harsh chemicals, and store them in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

Why Regular Care Matters

Hair clips collect oils, hairspray, and dust over time, which can dull their color and weaken the spring mechanism. A quick clean every few weeks prevents buildup and keeps the clips snapping securely.

The lightweight plastic construction of these clips means they are easy to maintain, but also more prone to scratches and warping if exposed to heat or strong solvents.

What to Avoid

Skip abrasive scrubbers, bleach, alcohol-based cleaners, and boiling water. These can strip the pink finish, cause brittleness, or deform the clip shape.

Also avoid leaving clips in a steamy bathroom or near a hairdryer vent — heat can loosen the spring tension over time.

Step-by-Step Care Routine

Remove Hair and Debris: Open the clip and pull out any loose hairs or lint with your fingers or a fine-tooth comb. For stubborn strands, use tweezers to avoid scratching the surface. Common mistake: pulling hair out while the clip is closed can bend the teeth. Always open the clip first.
Wash with Mild Soap and Water: Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water and a drop of mild dish soap. Dip a soft cloth or cotton pad into the solution and gently wipe each clip, paying extra attention to the hinge area where product can collect. Do not submerge the clips for more than a few seconds — water inside the hinge can cause rust or stiffness.
Rinse and Air-Dry Completely: Wipe the clips with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Place them on a dry towel and let them air-dry fully (about 1–2 hours) before storing or using again. Checkpoint: If the spring feels sticky after drying, apply a tiny drop of sewing machine oil to the hinge and open/close the clip a few times.
Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Keep your clips in a drawer, pouch, or small container away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid tossing them loose into a makeup bag where they can get scratched by other items. Pro tip: A dedicated hair accessory box or a soft jewelry pouch keeps the pink finish intact and prevents tangling.
