Conair Styling Essentials Ultimate Updo Clip Strong & Lightweight 1 ea

I bought this updo clip in Oct. 2015 and I love it! I had purchased many, many other updo clips and combs but none of them worked like this. I have waist length hair - fairly thick. I usually pull my hair back with a ponytail band. Then I braid my hair into one long, fat braid and twist it around into a bun. I tuck the end of my braid into the ponytail band so it won't slip out and then finally, I hide the band inside and underneath the bun by pushing it in, tugging the outside parts of the braided bun over it. Then I anchor the bun by using this clip - running one of the prongs into the binder band and through the hair closest to my scalp then up into the other side of the braided bun. It never falls out - even after freshly washed and styled hair. I like to straighten my hair since my hair can get frizzy. Using various products sometimes makes my hair so smooth that nothing holds - not even bobby pins. This clip is the only one that holds regardless of how smooth my hair is. The trick is anchoring it into the band. I've just ordered another one so I can explore other hair styles using two of these. The material is very strong polymer plastic so it's more an everyday kind of updo clip but I've used it with a small decorative claw clip over the crown that lays on top of the hair - just clip around it. You may need to explore a bit before you find how to secure the claw clip properly.

Makes a lovely Updo!!! I WANT TO BUY MORE!!! It’s very lightweight & doesn’t pull hair down. Easy to use. Amazing how it holds long heavy hair; just roll hair to your head & insert clip. Please produce more of this Updo Clip. I lost mine & need more. Thank You 🙏🏻❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

I have VERY long hair, it falls a few inches above my hips. I do not like tying it with regular hair elastics because of the damage it causes (split ends, etc.) I was looking for an alternative way to put my hair up when necessary and I am so happy I found this tool! It's simple and compact and works great! I use it either when I put all my hair in a bun, or sometimes just half my hair. It hold very well during regular activities, but the hair eventually falls out if I'm at the gym or running.I am very pleased and would definitely recommend!

Works for a while, then falls out. Ended up doing a lazy french twist with two tiny jaw clips holding them in..this product will work in a pinch though.

The hair pin is too thick and the material too soft to really be effective. The edges are also rough, so pulls at my hair when I am trying to weave it into my hair. Not something I will buy again.

This Conair thing does NOT work. I have long hair, mid chest length, and fairly thick. This Conair clip slips out of my hair EVERY time, and is difficult to use. Makes sloppy updo's that don't stay put. Do not buy this piece of crap!After trial and error with several other types of updo clips, I ended up buying the "Good Hair Days prong chignon", and I love it. It works perfectly every time, makes beautiful no-slip updo's and buns, and is self-explanatory to use:https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00H5BCPF0/ref=yo_ii_imgGood luck! :)

I got one of these years ago at a drug store, used it regularly, it has not broken yet and since I have never seen it in a store again I found it on AZ and bought a half-dozen. They are light weight, they hold hair quite securely, and they have a nice balance of strength and flexibility that makes them more comfortable than most other options, especially if like me you have a LOT of hair to pin up.

I love this thing. My hair is to my mid-back and is thick and wavy. I prefer to wear it down, but will put it up to get it out of the way at least 12 times a day- the beauty of this clip is that it holds my hair in a casual bun/twist style that looks great, stays put and - this is my favorite part - doesn't kink my hair when I take it down. In fact, it's in this nice wave pattern that looks kind of like I did it on purpose. It's a holy grail product. If it could magically transform to a bracelet so I could always have it at my fingertips when I'm not wearing it, that would be ideal...
