These get 2 stars, because they didn't work for me but I gave them to my friend who liked them. I tried them in my hair and my daughter's hair. They slipped right out, but then we both have super straight, slick hair. My friend has a bit of wave to her hair and they worked fine for her.
I like them also but find that the bun begins to sag and come out of them. It helps greatly if I use an elastic band and then create a "messy Knot" with the pins. My hair is really straight and slick
I was skeptical when I saw these 2 things that they said would hold my heavy medium length hair, but they work! Wet, Dry, whatever I can get a quick bun in my hair that looks cute without millions of bobby pins, rubber bands, or whatever! They come in Blond or brunette but Goody has done a great job on these!
