Beware of Fake HairZing Knockoffs

A special notice to our fans

When we started the company 17 years ago there was nothing like HairZing. We began to grow organically, spread by happy customers' word of mouth.

Sales jumped when QVC began carrying HairZing but the more visible we became, the more we were copied, including by the largest infomercial company in the world.

We are proud our humble invention is being worn by women in over 25 countries.
However, as we have grown, every time we introduce a new product, copy cat HairZings immediately pop up on cheap Chinese sites.

Although we have our own brand store on Amazon, every day is a battle dealing with foreign factories copying our products, using our images and text, and putting out poor quality product that violates all our copyright, trademark and patent rights. These knock-offs are sucking us dry and putting jobs in danger. It’s like the children’s game of “Whack a Mole”. We shut one down and another pops up in it’s place.

Please support our small business by purchasing authentic HairZing products.

We believe the world is a big place, and there is room for everyone to succeed. However, as a small company, we invest heavily into our product development, patents, and legal costs. We continue to do so as we develop new, original products.

We pay decent and fair wages to workers. We strive to use the most environmentally sustainable materials and pay recycling costs for our excess materials. We also donate to projects that support women's and girl's education because we believe we can help, even in a small way, level the playing field.

In short, we act as any responsible company would.

We respectfully ask our customers to be aware:

Authentic HairZings ship from our warehouse in Oakland, California and each one is branded with our logo, patents, and contact information.

Does the price seem too good to be true? Every HairZing is 100% handcrafted, including our handwoven metal wire combs. We pay fair wages and support hundreds of women and our products cannot be made by machine. Quality isn't made in sweatshops, so if the price is incredibly low, you can bet the workers are not paid, underpaid and abused.

Knock-off factories use the lowest priced labor they can find. Not just our product, but every knock-off product made. They don’t care about quality or workers. They exist only to profit the few at the top. This means there are desperate women, children and political prisoners making them.

Is it really worth it?

What makes Hairzing hair accessories different from traditional hair accessories?

We create hair accessories designed to protect your hair with lightweight, comfortable patented s-t-r-e-t-c-h combs engineered to eliminate pressure, pulling, and pain. Flexible so they hold snugly without clamping down onto your hair.

Created specifically to solve the damage problems women with thin-fine and heavy, thick, textured curly, coily natural hair have, directly caused by traditional accessories like elastics, bobbi pins, barrettes, clips, headbands, tight scruncii’s etc.

Engineered to add as little friction as possible to keep your hair healthier...just by wearing. Our combs and bands work together, balancing the weight of your hair between them, preventing headaches and pinching.

HairZing has been the recognized leader in designing hair healthy accessories since 2006,

and that success from a small family owned business means there are always companies trying to knock off and copy our products.

Like our mothers told us, you get what you pay for. Sure, you might be able to find cheaper versions, but they are always a low quality which stretches out or breaks quickly becoming more disposable trash.

More importantly, when you purchase a knock-off for an insanely cheap price…..we can guarantee it was made by a woman, child or political prisoner forced to make it for pennies to survive. Seriously.

We study, research, invent and handcraft HairZings using the best materials, a process that takes time. Wages paid out create long time jobs for women. Our prices are incredibly affordable and HairZing will last you a long time as you re-grow your hair health.

We 100% guarantee every HairZing we make, so if you try us and aren’t happy, we will refund every penny.

Original Double Cross Beaded Stretch Claw Clip:

Our first product – still a bestseller 17 years later!!! Made out of a finer (but still strong) metal wire with closely spaced teeth, comes in a TWO sizes with a decorative butterfly style design, and can be worn vertically, horizontally, or on the side of your head as an accent–even in short, short hair….which is part of its unique appeal.

Stretch Banana Hair Clip:

Boosts Volume in seconds! We took the popular banana clip hair accessory of the 80's and designed away all the flaws. Our adjustable stretch hinge instantly creates a custom snug hold. Medium for Thin Fine hair won’t slide out, and Large for Thick Wavy, and Natural Curly, Coily Textured Hair stretches WIDE to hold tons of hair without breaking the clip or causing damage or pain to your hair.

Styling Your Hair Shouldn't Lead to Damage

Traditional hair accessories such as bands and clips, strip the cuticle and damage the hair shaft.

Why? Because those items only hold in place using too much force & pressure.The “line” of damage is easy to see…. it’s exactly where ponytails and buns are placed.

Usually at the top of your ears or crown of head.
