This Hair Accessory Could Save Your Life

Beauty products have the power to change lives — or, in this case, save them — Kelly Bryant at MIMI has just the product to prove it.

When I take a look at my own personal beauty arsenal and dare to make necessary cuts, I always consider the products and accessories I truly couldn't live without. Moroccanoil Hydrating Style Cream? Check. Kate Somerville DermalQuench Liquid Lift? Check. L'Oréal Voluminous Waterproof Mascara? Quadruple check. But now I may have met the hair accessory that will actually change my life.

Meet the Leatherdos Hair Clip.

I caught my first glimpse of this multitasking survival tool thanks to our friends at Bustle, who note it would slay during the zombie apocalypse, and I knew I had to learn more.

This innocent-from-a-distance hair clip can literally double as any number of tools ranging from a flat Phillips screwdriver to a wrench, and it will make you feel like a total badass while keeping your hair out of your face.

Seriously, Bear Grylls himself couldn't have come up with a finer survival tool in the form of a hair accessory. Made of stainless steel, it also features a ruler and knife and can even act as a match holder if you feel the need to set the mood with a little candlelight . . . without the candle.

And for the low, low price of $9 (available at odditymall.com), it's well worth the investment.
