Om Polygon Hårspænde

Polygon er et hårspænde designet til daglig hårstyling. Formen og placeringen af tænderne adskiller sig fra en almindelig hårspændes, så mere hår kan holdes på plads. Tændernes form og placering er beskyttet af patenter i USA og Japan. Kollektionen er fremstillet af aluminium, hvilket reducerer vægten sammenlignet med tidligere metalspænder. Den lettere krop bliver siddende længere og mindsker den ubehag, som tunge spænder kan forårsage. Formen blev udviklet med computerstøttet design og herefter fremstillet med gummiforme og støbning.
