A hair clip includes a first clamping body having a first base portion and a first clamping portion, a second clamping body having a second base portion and a second clamping portion, and a joint by which the first base portion and the second base portion are coupled to one another along a swivel axis. An elastic element forces the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion into a combined position. A first actuator is arranged on the first base portion for moving the first clamping portion relative to the second clamping portion from the combined position into a spread position. Further, the first base portion includes a receptacle for receiving an element of the first actuator so that the first actuator is movable through the receptacle relative to the first base portion from a first position into a second position relative to the first base portion.
