Works greatI have longish curly hair that require multiple clips/claws/etc to keep hair out of my face, especially as I am doing cleaning/housework/cooking. If I use a ponytail wrap like a topknot, I still have locks of hair escaping which can be frustrating. These are not perfect, but a great way to quickly pin those unruly strands, & these grip better than bobby pins (croc type openings). Like the colors available, only complaint is also a perk--these are sturdy (good), but can pull at hair d/t weight. Also when you try to remove these, you might yank out a few errant strands.I did have to return as the clips did not work for my thick hair ..and straight hard to manage hair but he quality of the clips are unbelievable and colors are beautiful!I really like the shorter length of these clips. They hold my separated hair securely without the added length that serves no purpose. Definitely recommend.the color ones are a bit more expensive, nice tho for a variety, etc. comes quickly n with free gifts, excellent packingAfter a few uses in my thick kinky hair a few have broken. They work but they don't seem to last for me anyways.I gave them 5 stars because I have gotten a lot of compliments on them. They are also comfortable but occasionally slide down a little bit. I have thick hair. I would think these would be too loose on someone with thin hair.These are pretty and hold my hair nicely.
