SHC / Hybrid Velvet

Each "RUBY" variant has its own unique randomized striping due to the hand-inking of the filament before printing.

The Spinal Hair Clip (SHC) is a sculptural hair clip inspired by the human spine. The "Velvet" variant of the SHC refers to its deep red colour with hints of purple and the blood soaked antlers when deer shed their velvet.

The body of the hair clip is durable and made with two different materials with varying hardness, a softer 95A thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and a rigid 72D composite material made of TPU and nylon. The spinous processes in the back are softer to help cushion impacts from drops. The teeth of the hair clip, both inner and outer, are rigid to help with hair penetration and hold. All hardware is stainless steel.

The first hair clip with quad springs. I designed this unique mechanism to preserve the anatomical features of the spine whilst allowing the hair clip to be functional. The clip operates intuitively via a finger groove sculpted into the 4th vertebra, retaining the ergonomics of a standard hair clip despite its complex geometry.
