I have been using these hair clips for a few years. I use them from morning until night…shopping, cooking, cleaning, gardening, tennis and dressing up. Easy to take the clip out or put back on for dental and chiropractor appointments, lying down, etc. They don’t tear out my hair, light weight and very long lasting for a plastic clip. Just twist the hair in back, double or triple it up into a pretty elongated bun, and clip! Long enough and not too long. Perfect!
