Review (2/5): I was hoping that since they are super sturdy, they would hold better than my classic
Not right for me. I was hoping that since they are super sturdy, they would hold better than my classic, small bobby pins (the ones that are U shaped with zig zags on both sides of the pin). The classic, small pins work better when I use them in pairs and criss-cross like an X.
These 2.5" ones have pointy ends and are silver (my hair is brown). I knew both of these things when I bought them and could have overlooked these things if they worked better for me.
