1. A hair clip, comprising:

  • an upper clip piece being a single piece defined with a lip portion, an arched body portion, an upper pivot portion and an upper handle portion;

    a lower clip piece defined with a tip portion, a base portion, a lower pivot portion coupled to the upper pivot portion, and a lower handle portion in cooperation with the upper handle portion, wherein a space created with the base portion and the arched body portion when the hair clip is in a rest state without hair inside is large enough to serve as a hair-accommodating space when the hair clip is in a working state with hair inside; and

    a plurality of teeth extending from the arched body portion of the upper clip piece toward the base portion of the lower clip piece, and being long enough to bridge the hair-accommodating space between the arched body portion and the base portion;

    wherein the hair clip in the working state is switchable between an open configuration and a closed configuration by operating the upper handle portion and the lower handle portion to have the upper clip piece and the lower clip piece pivot on the upper pivot portion and the lower pivot portion;

    wherein when the hair clip is in the open configuration, the lip portion of the upper clip piece is apart from the tip portion of the lower clip piece to open a mouth for receiving hair therefrom; and

    wherein when the hair clip is in the closed configuration, the lip portion of the upper clip piece overbites the tip portion of the lower clip piece so that the hair in the hair-accommodating space is sharply separated from adjacent hair which is excluded from the hair clip.
