Our acetate sheets are designed, cut, and shaped with the assistance of machinery; but each clip is hand assmbled and adhered.

Our entire lineup of claw clips and hairpins are made using Cellulose Acetate (CA). CA is is a synthetic fibre composed of wood pulp & cotton fibres, making it a semi-synthetic material (similar to rayon). In the right environment, CA has a heightened biodegradability in comparison to tradition plastics. Read more on the process of biodegrading CA here.

Just like how your favourite pair of jeans may stretch between washes, you might notice slight stretch in your clip's teeth overtime. This can easily be reset with a hot water bath (further instructions provided with your order).

We recommend against wearing your CA hair clips in the sun or direct heat (i.e. sauna) for extended periods of time, as they are more sensitive to heat than traditional plastics.

Kōv Essentials' clips are elevated hair accessories, requiring more TLC than drug-store clips made with plastic. We believe in full transparency and want to ensure shoppers are aware of this before purchasing their new go-to claw clip.

We are based in Ontario, Canada.
