Review (4/5): It wasn't for me, but it might be for you?
My 11 year old daughter tried these with her thick long hair in the following styles:
A bun-the hair clip didn't stay tight enough to hold the style
A ponytail- it's very tricky to pull the hair tight and get the plastic clip around the hair.
One of the clips broke because she over stretched it, in order to open it as wide as possible.
She lost interest quickly and rarely uses them now. She prefers a good old fashion rubber band for ponytails.
