Silver takes center stage in this African Butterfly Wire Hair Clip - 11 Tong 565, with silver beads complemented by silver and black accent beads. Clear Czech seed beads wrap the edges, adding a delicate finishing touch to wedding updos, bridal-party hairstyles, and elegant evening looks.

Designed for the thickest, longest, and most voluminous hair, this clip measures approximately 4½” — one step above our 9 Tong — and is built to handle serious volume that other clips simply can’t manage. The industrial-strength elastic between the two combs keeps every last strand intact, while the smooth metal teeth glide effortlessly through your hair for a snag-free, all-day hold — powerful enough to mean business, comfortable enough to forget it’s there.

Built for the boldest buns and most ambitious updos, the 11 Tong shines brightest when your hair demands more. Braided updos, French twists, and softball-sized buns and larger are no match for this clip — with 11 teeth working together to keep every last strand securely in place, all day long.

Our hair products lay completely flat against your head — unlike bulky claw clips that snag, poke, or get in the way. Wear it all day without ever having to remove it, whether you’re commuting, sleeping, at the dentist, or just going about your day. No pulling, no pressure, no adjusting — just effortless style from morning to night. With our African Butterfly hair combs and clips, you can maintain your chic look without any compromise - which is precisely what sets us apart from the rest!

Handcrafted in South Africa under Fair Trade standards, every African Butterfly clip is a testament to skilled artisanship — and your purchase makes a direct impact in the fight against unemployment and poverty.

Love these clips

I "discovered" these clips in 2007 ago at a local art fair in our town, and have been using them ever since. They have changed a bit in style over the years, and now that my hair is almost waist-length, I like the 11-tong wire models the best.

It is so nice to be able to throw my hair up quickly and walk out the door, knowing my hair looks great! I have many different colored ones at this point, so I have many choices. Also, my hair stays cleaner when I use these clips.

I travel to the South Pacific often. Women there have very long, thick, sometimes coarse hair. I have received many compliments and inquiries on where to get them. Now when I take my yearly trip, I take a few with me as gifts! They would be a great gift for ANY friend who has long hair.

The ONLY challenge is TSA at an airport. The 11-tong metal clips often set off the alarm. But these are so easy to use, I just take it out, and pop it back in once I am through the gate. No problem!

Nice combs

This will look good in my hair, not as sparkly as I expected, but will look good anyway.

Beautiful Colors

This comb is so pretty , light, and comfortable.
It holds my hip length fine silver without slipping, and could easily hold longer/thicker hair.
The wire tong combs are my absolute favorite in my collection.
As always ~ excellent customer service!
Thanks Rachel :-)

Beautiful, but I had a few struggles...

The beads and colors were gorgeous! however, I had two issues. The first is that the wire combs were very long and difficult to get it, and the wires bent a few times. once I did get it in, I found it to be very heavy. I wore it to work and by midday, had to take it out as I was getting a headache from the weight. So I'll be sure to wear it but to events that are only 1-2 hours long.

Love these clips!

These 11 tong clips are the best. I have one in black and clear crystal and I get compliments all the time on them. They are the only clips that hold up my VERY thick and very slippery hair.

Another stunning and functional piece

I have been purchasing african butterfly combs for almost 6 months now. I have purchased other manufacturers double stretch combs but these are by far the best quality. The wire does not corrode or rust and slides easily through my hair. I have thin hair that is layered and the wire combs are much preferred over the plastic combs for my type of hair. The white beads in this comb give an elegant flair to my dark blond hair. Another great purchase from AB!

Quality and Class

Received my first order from African Butterfly and could not be more pleased. The item was well made and classy looking. Provides added Bling to dark blonde or light brown hair. 11 tong comb is wonderful for below shoulder length hair. My hair is very thin and layered, but the tongs hold all the hair securely all day. They are easy to put it, stay all day and easy to take out.

Love the Wire Combs!

I have quite a few of the African Butterfly Clips; all sizes and materials. But I think my favorite are the 11-tong wire combs. I have long hair. These clips go into place so easily, and just stay there... all day. I have one in every color at this point. It is a great way to put your hair up (especially if you are in a hurry), have it look great, and just forget about it... all day! I also get a lot of compliments on how pretty these combs are. So nice to not have to think about how my hair looks. I just put it in, and go out the door. They are great.

Great product

This is my 4th 11 tong wire comb that I have purchased from Africanbutterfly. They are so pretty; I gets many many compliments on them. They are easy to put in, and I find the wire combs to hold the best. I am now purchasing these as gifts for my friends. And on top of that.... delivery is always quick and correct. 5 stars imo.

11 tong wire comb

I love Africanbutterfly.com I have been wearing this product for the past year every single day for work and wanted more styles. My hair is very very long and the African butterfly clip is the only thing I have found that will hold up my hair. I only wish there were more styles of the 11 tong double wire clip so I can change up the colors once in a while.

Getting use to it

I’ma long time fan of African butterfly clips. Been using them over 20 years. I’m trying to get use to this clip. I use the original plastic ones that clip tightly together and this one doesn’t interlock and hold as tightly.
