A WOMAN was left needing staples in her scalp after her hair clip split her head open – and it didn't even break.
Paisley Riley was in a horrific car accident that landed her in hospital, but she was shocked to realise that her cheap plastic hair accessory was the cause of her potentially life-threatening head injuries.
On March 4, Paisley, her boyfriend and her cousin were involved in a car crash where the vehicle rolled off the road and flipped in air.
The woman, from Mississippi, smashed her head on a metal bar which ended up lodging her hair claw into the back of her head – puncturing her scalp.
But she doesn't recall anything about the accident as she passed out from the excruciating pain.
Paisley said: "My boyfriend was there thankfully, and my cousin, and they literally ripped the roof off of the side-by-side to get me out.

Luckily, she was rushed to the hospital after being freed from the busted car.
She suffered from excess bleeding from the head and an emergency CT scan and X-ray was ordered to rule out any possibility of brain injury.
"I was very lucky I did not have any brain damage and my condition was never too critical," she added.
And although Paisley didn't suffer any brain damage, she did have a "nasty concussion" and is now on medication to relieve the pain from the five staples in the back of her head.

In a viral TikTok that the crash survivor posted following the accident, Paisley urged her followers not to drive while wearing claw clips.
"Don't recommend driving [in hair clips] tho, I watched a chunk of scalp and hair hit the ground and will forever have a visible bald spot," she wrote.
The video has racked up a whopping52.7million views, with 2.8million likes and 10.4k comments.
Her followers were quick to flood her comment section with well wishes and shared their amazement at the "insane" situation.
One said: "So you're the girl that has everyone removing their claw clips in the car! Hope you're feeling better!!!"
Another wrote: "New fear unlocked".
A third asked: "Am I the only one wondering how this clip didn’t break?”
And a paramedic even commented saying that she's seen many items become embedded into heads.
"No garage door openers or pens on the visor please," she said.
