Hi Makers, My hair clip has broken and I wanted to get some second opinions before using super glue. Thanks

Do you know what plastic they're made of? If they're acrylic (could be quite likely), don't use the E6000 Plus. For Acrylic, IMO super glue is probably the best choice out of those, tho you might want to spot test a location on the back (say under the clip) with a pinhead of glue, then wipe it off (if there's an issue, it'll just damage the surface slightly, not the whole thing. If it melts the surface slightly (wait a bit after drying) then you need to find a different glue.

FWIW: Sometimes you can tell what plastic something is made out of by how well it floats in water. You could try that with the one where the clip has come off.

FWIW: Chart of where they float. Of course, it's not hugely accurate, but it might give you an idea.
