Type of clothing:
When it was popular:
Description: These became popular in 1998-1999. Little plastic butterfly clips that girls of all ages wore by the gross in their hair. The typical way of wearing them was to part your hair in several different places and to clip each section of hair so that the butterflies would be all in a row on top of your head.

I totally remember those! The wings were on springs and they wobbled around when you moved your head. I had three and i don't think i ever wore them in my hair, i just liked pulling on the wings. and then they broke, lol.

what a great site for memory lane! i would go to the flea market and go to the booth that had boxes of these things...every color, size, and style you could think of for like 50cents each...i had so many! remember when they went mini and you could put so many more on your "corn rows" haha

omg, I have TONS of these, andI still wear them. It was like 1998, and people kept giving me sooooooo many of these. I still wear them occasionally, and boys actually think I look cute (which is a bit unnerving to get all the 'Oh! I remember those!!!!! Looks great on ya Tish' from the guys. Guys shouldn't remember butterfly clips. ergh.)

I use to wear those!!! I went to Sally's and also the butterfly palace. Why are they no where to be found. This fad must return!!!!! I will start a revolution that will bring them back to us all.

hmmm theres people talking about the ones that are like plastic claw clip things then theres people talking about the ones that came out a few years later with the springy bouncy wings :) i liked the plastic ones better that u twist sections of your hair in and clip them :)
