I need to order at least 10 more of these clips for my 13 year old daughter and I! We both have waist length, thick, curly hair, and have been stuck with ponytails forever, because there's been nothing else that will hold our hair. We've tried the plastic banana clips that I used to wear in the 80's, but after an hour they fall out, and hurt! These clips are super easy to put in, stay up all day, and don't rip out our hair when you take it out. So comfy I fell asleep with my hair up because I forgot I had it in!
