How to Care for Your Acetate Hair Claw

Your Hair Claw Is Built to Last — With a Little Care

Premium acetate is one of the most beautiful materials used in hair accessories. It has a rich, glossy finish, a satisfying weight, and a depth of color that plastic simply can't replicate. But like any quality item, it rewards a little attention.

Here's how to keep your personalized LioraCatcher hair claw looking as beautiful as the day it arrived.

Everyday Use: What to Know

Acetate hair claws are designed for daily wear. They're strong, lightweight, and built to hold your hair securely without slipping. A few things to keep in mind:

• Avoid excessive force when opening. Open the claw gently — don't force it wider than its natural range. Over time, forcing the hinge can weaken the spring mechanism.
• Don't sleep in it. Wearing your hair claw to bed puts unnecessary pressure on the hinge and can cause it to loosen faster.
• Keep it away from heat. Acetate can warp if left in direct sunlight for extended periods or exposed to high heat (like a hot car dashboard in summer). Store it somewhere cool and shaded when not in use.

Cleaning Your Hair Claw

Regular cleaning keeps your claw looking polished and extends its life. Here's the right way to do it:

1. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. A microfiber cloth works best. Gently wipe the surface to remove oils, product buildup, and dust.
2. Avoid soaking in water. Don't submerge your hair claw or run it under a tap. Prolonged water exposure can affect the rhinestone adhesive over time.
3. No harsh chemicals. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners, acetone (nail polish remover), or abrasive cloths. These can dull the finish or damage the rhinestones.
4. Dry thoroughly before storing. If your claw gets wet, pat it dry with a soft cloth and let it air dry completely before putting it away.

Caring for the Rhinestone Lettering

The rhinestones on your LioraCatcher hair claw are hand-set and securely attached. To keep them sparkling:

• Avoid rubbing the rhinestone area with rough fabrics.
• Don't apply hairspray or dry shampoo directly onto the claw — spray your hair first, then clip.
• If a rhinestone ever comes loose, a small drop of clear jewelry adhesive will reattach it easily.

Storage Tips

How you store your hair claw matters more than you might think:

• Keep it in a pouch or box when not in use to protect the surface from scratches.
• Don't pile accessories on top of each other — the weight and friction can dull the finish over time.
• Store away from direct sunlight to preserve the color depth of the acetate.

When to Replace It

A well-cared-for acetate hair claw can last for years. Signs it might be time for a new one:

• The spring hinge no longer holds tension
• The acetate has developed deep scratches that affect the appearance
• The claw no longer grips your hair securely

When that day comes, you know where to find a new one — personalized just for you.
