Using these hair clips is easy. Just open the clip and place it in your hair where you want it to stay. They're great for holding up a ponytail, adding a flair to a bun, or just as a simple hair accessory. When it comes to maintenance, keep them in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any damage to the ribbon or pearls. And remember, due to the warning about lead and cadmium, don't let children play with these clips unsupervised. If you notice any damage to the clips, it's best to stop using them.
