Holds well!
The clips are pretty solid.  I have thick hair and sometimes struggle with hair accessories.  I felt that the springs were good and held my hair very well.  Please note that there is one main clip and on top of the main clip, there are 3 small clips to further segment your hair. The gem stones are hot glued onto the clip.  I did find a few glue strands, but they pulled off nicely.  The stones seem to be put on well as I tried to nudge them with my fingers to see how well they were put on.  Overall, I really liked this product and feel it does the job with a little extra bit of flair.  My only caution would be for people with fine hair that this may slide out of your hair.
