Review (5/5): Nice Product Overall: Very Sturdy, Larger than Expected, a Bit Slippery
I used to have an octopus clip years ago that I absolutely loved, and so I bought these thinking they'd be the same, but they turned out larger than I expected. I can still use them, but they don't feel as tight and secure as I'd like them to be. I have pretty thick hair, so you'd probably need extremely thick hair to really get the best use and feeling out of them. If you have thinner hair, they'd probably fall out after a few steps.
My only complaints about the product itself is that it's a bit slippery (super smooth plastic) and that makes it somewhat difficult to open (especially if you're doing your hair by yourself and have to reach around and maneuver the clip and your hair).
One other small thing is that it gets fingerprints on it very easily! I had just taken pictures of the clips after a shower when I noticed that the ones I touched were already getting marks on them (picture included). Nothing too terrible or noticeable, and it wiped off easily, but like I said, the slippery plastic feel and look isn't really what I was looking for.
I'll still use them though! They're very nice and durable clips, but I think I'll buy medium-sized ones in the future.
