Problems solved by technology

In some instances, stands of hair may become tangled in the hinge and / or spring, and be pulled out when the clip is removed causing discomfort to the wearer.
While the elastic band may bias the hair binder toward a closed position when the hair binder is opened, the hair binder and band are not configured for the band to provide a biasing force to retain the hair binder in the closed position when the frames are closed.

Abstract

The invention is directed to a hair retaining clip having a first clip member including a handle portion and a claw portion, a second clip member including a handle portion and a claw portion, and a hinge pivotally connecting the first and second clip members such that the first and second clip members are rotatable between a normal closed position and an open position. The hair retaining clip further includes an elastic member disposed between and attached to the claw portions of the first and second clip members. The elastic member biases the first and second clip members toward the normal closed position and retains the first and second clip members in the normal closed position.
