Also great for dry, brittle, baby-fine, slippery hair!!!
While most of the reviews for these clips are to promote them for thicker hair, I am here to tell all of you who have hair like mine - dry, brittle, slightly kinky, fly-away, baby-fine, slippery - that these work great for our hair, too.<br /><br />You know what kind of problems we have with clips and bands and what-not either falling out of our hair while trying to use them, or worse, pulling our hair out when we remove them.  I think this happens for two reasons:<br /><br />One, our hairs are so fine that they actually get caught in the small tiny working parts of these kinds of clips - cracks that a thicker hair shaft is simply too large to get caught in. My sister's hair is the opposite of mine - dense, poker straight, and an extremely thick shaft - and she was surprised when I told her about this happening to me. It's hard to believe, but it happens to us all the time!!  In fact, I have to wind electrical tape onto new brushes where the handle meets the head because individual hairs get caught in the crack there all the time if I don't seal it up.  Let me tell you, OUCH. It took me years to figure that one out.<br /><br />The other problem is that once treated with product and dried, and especially flat-ironed, baby-fine hair feels wonderful to the touch but it is very *slippery*.  If you use a roller or a clip that does not hold well or is too heavy, it simply falls out. Useless!<br /><br />So... these are stronger & lighter, and the moving parts are better made, than any other ones I have tried of their kind.  And they work really well for my fickle, difficult hair.<br /><br />I am not saying that these won't ever pull your hair out if you are careless and move too fast.  I am also not saying that they won't fall out if you don't secure them properly.  They will.  But if you have baby-fine hair then you have already learned to slow down and concentrate to avoid those problems anyway.  :)
