Review (2/5): Impossible to use — I returned mine
Don’t believe the good reviews — these are a joke. They are impossible to open — the hinges are so stiff and the handles are so slippery (and small) that you need two hands to open them. The problem with needing to use two hands is that there’s not another hand left over to hold your hair while you struggle to open the clip. Because I was unhappy with these (understatement) I bought a similar clip that I just love. It’s on Amazon — the Scunci No-Slip Grip Large Octopus Clip. It’s essentially the same clip, but it opens with no problem and the insides of the prongs have a rubber coating that helps them hold your hair really well. According to the Amazon listing, the model is 3615903A048.
Skip this version and go for the Scunci (no one paid me or persuaded me to say that!)
