Review (3/5): Great clip, but...
So the big downside to this clip here is that, as one of the past reviews have said, this had some rough workmanship. The edges of this clip hasn't been finished enough to ensure a completely smooth surface. I took two stars off for this reason as this could be a hazard.
However, the edges are not so rough that I am not too turned off by this purchase. I do feel lucky that this is the case with the specific clip I got.
The clip feels pretty substantial and may last me a long time compared to other clips I've had prior to this, which were plastic. It seems like the spring of this clip will be safe in its intended place and the teeth will stay intact. Also, with its claims as stainless steel, I'm really hoping it's true as my skin is good with stainless steel.
I have pretty thick hair, and it holds all of my hair up pretty well regardless if I put it up in a bun, quick and casual 90's chignon, or half updo. I thought it would be a bit big for a half updo, but this is just the right size. Plus, with it being steel, it has a lot more hold and grip than plastic claw clips.
I'm glad that I can really elevate my hair using this clip and I can take a break from using elastics. I also I'm so glad that I don't have to worry too much about the teeth of this clip breaking and my style falling down due to the clip being slippery. Lord knows how much I've spent money on the plastic clips over the years and it's probably a lot of money!
