Twist, clip, done. The medium arch is the size that actually works for most people: big enough to take a full twist of thick or curly hair, small enough that it does not announce itself from across a room, and shaped so the teeth close on the hair instead of sliding off it.

The set gives you both of the colors you will reach for, one glossy black and one tortoise, so there is a clip that vanishes into dark hair and one that warms up lighter hair. The rounded cloud silhouette is Kitsch's own, finished glossy rather than matte, and it holds a half up or a full updo through a workday without loosening or leaving a dent. They are made from recycled plastic, which is the quiet part: the same everyday clip you would have bought anyway, made from material that has already been round once.
