The Banana Clip
As if 80s hair wasn't crazy enough on its own, the banana clip added that little extra something to take your feathered bangs and layered tresses just a little further. In the unlikely event that you don’t know what a banana clip is, allow us to enlighten. Given its name for its shape, the banana clip is a hair accessory made popular in the 80s that allowed you to pull your hair back from each side, with the clip (in its banananess) following the contour of your head in the back. The effect is like a mane of hair running down the middle of the back of your head. A photo definitely will do more justice in the area of explanation than words. So here it is.

We found this lovely pic (above right) online at Bethe’s blog: http://www.insaknity.com/blog/. Thanks for letting us use and share it!
The banana clip clearly still has fans and wearers as they are readily available for purchase now in any drugstore. In fact, we picked a pair up the other day to give away on this site! Which brings up the question – what are you willing to do for a banana clip?
If you have pictures of yourself donning a
totally 80s banana clip, send them to us!!! We'd love to have the largest
image portfolio of banana clips in action on the web.

This is like totally me and my bannana clip!!!! I like totally like got it from Wal-Mart!!!!!! Like How Totally Rad Is This???!!!! Fer Sure!!!! Tip: My aunt is a hair dresser
and she told me that if you tease your hair and then put the banana
clip in, it'll have something to hang on to. She also said that if you
put some hair spray in when the clip is in it'll hold it for a good
long while. Just thought it would be helpful to anyone else with
banana clips who couldn't get 'em to stay before! |
