Review (5/5): these are long, sturdy hair pins
I use these for my daughter's ballet hair, two practices a week. Before this we used pins from Walmart, probably Goody brand. We had both regular and heavy duty in one photo for comparison. These pins are awesome. They match my daughter's hair better and are long enough to get through the majority of her bun. They are WAY more sturdy than the regular pins we had and resist bending better than even the old heavy duty pins. With the old regular pins we used maybe 20 pins for a bun, but these are so long and strong we only need about 7 or 8. Her hair is long and super straight, medium thickness. We've only opened one of the six 20-packs and they look new after a month. These are going to last for years. I highly recommend them.
