Lining
You have the option of deciding upon a full-lined alligator clip, or a part-lined alligator clip.

Full-Lined Clip
This style is best for those with thin or 'barely there' hair and is used in our AbbyBaby™ line of clips. If the wearer's hair is too short for a pony tail, or if the clip will be used to hold back bangs, this line is usually the best option.  Moms of newborns tend to like our AbbyBaby™ clips because they won't poke their baby in the head when clipping into hair or a headband.  The AbbyBaby clip can be difficult to slip into the tightly-held hair above a ponytail, so if you are planning to use it as pony-decor, we suggest a Part-Lined clip.
The standard ribbon we use for the AbbyBaby line is grosgrain.  

Part-Lined Clip
This option is a favorite among moms of big girls. It is most versatile, as it can be easily slid in above a pony-tail, or clipped onto our headbands and hats.  If you are planning to clip your bow above a ponytail, we suggest using clear plastic rubberbands available at Walmart and most drug or beauty supply stores. 
Ribbon will line the top prong and the grip of the clip, leaving the bottom prong bare.  Although the option is not available on our site, all bow styles except the Gumdrops are also available in a double-prong clip.  Please email me after placing your order if you would like this option.  You may also opt to add and AbbyGrip™ to any part-lined clip.

Alligator Clips
Not all alligator clips are created equal! We tested many different kinds of alligator clips before deciding upon the Salon Care brand. These clips are of the highest quality, and have an amazingly strong grip. We use Single Prong and Double Prong alligator clips for all our bows, flowers, and clips unless otherwise specified.
