These are worth it over name brand even with their faults.
Spiral hair pins are amazing at holding hair in place.  My hair falls out of nearly everything else, but these keep it secure.<br />This 50 piece pack is a great value, however the pin ends are not rounded.  They are cut metal and can scratch and catch hair when twisting into place.  I painted the ends with a little dot of clear nail polish and now they're just fine.  They are just a little shorter than the Goody brand, but I found that this was not a problem.  I'm keeping them and when I inevitably lose all 50 of them I will order these again rather than pay so much more for name brand ones.
