Claim:
Hair grip comprising: two jaws articulated about a joint for relative displacement into an open or closed position, each of the two jaws having an inner face facing the other jaw and an outer face opposed to the other jaw, and an elongated connection having two respective free end portions, wherein said elongated connection is tensioned between the two jaws so as to exert a return force by a deformation in elongation of the connection against the displacement of the two jaws from the closed position to the open position in order to return the two jaws to the closed position, wherein the connection is produced in an elastomer material having a Shore A hardness of between 60 and 90, wherein each of the two jaws is provided with a perforation, wherein at least a portion of each respective perforation has a cross-section having a first dimension and at least a second portion having a second dimension larger than the first dimension, wherein each of the respective free end portions of the connection passes through the respective portion of perforation having the respective first dimension, wherein a respective U-shaped clip is attached to the respective free end portion of the connection on a side of the respective first portion of perforation having the respective first dimension opposed to the inner face of the respective jaw, and wherein said respective U-shaped clip has a respective third dimension larger than the respective first dimension and not larger than the second dimension, so that said respective U-shaped clip is prevented from passing through the respective first portion of perforation having the respective first dimension when the jaws are opened.
