Appearance
The Squid Hairclip is a small barrette with the "S" from the Splatoon logo on it, complete with the gray bubble pattern at the bottom. The only difference from the logo is that it has eyes. Like the rest of the school gear, the hairclip's appearance changes based on the wearer's gender. If worn by a female, the hairclip goes on the left side of her bangs. If worn by a male, it goes on the band used to keep his tentacles up.
Splatoon 2
The Squid Hairclip is available only through use of the first generation 
Inkling Girl amiibo. The second generation 
Inkling Girl amiibo does not unlock this item. The player will receive the Squid Hairclip upon talking to the amiibo.
Abilities
The Squid Hairclip comes with Swim Speed Up as a main ability.
As a 2-star item, it also has two slots for secondary abilities. Since it is made by the amiibo brand, all abilities have an equal chance of being rolled.
