Review on GOODY Women's Ouchless Updo Barrette - Variations in Color to Complement Your Style by Angie Baker

This simple hair clip is by no means a luxury item and I had my doubts when it arrived but it exceeded my expectations and held all my hair (which is very THICK). I used to wear elastic bands like crazy, but prolonged use of them started causing brittle hair in the ponytail line. My hairstylist advised me to look for something that would be gentle on my hair. So I switched to bobby pins. A few months ago when I had a bobby pin in my hair and was standing in line at the grocery store, the clasp broke and the bobby pin flew out of my hair, hitting the guy behind me. He wasn't in pain, and while it was funny (more for him than me), I was beside myself with anger. Thick hair needs to be contained and most products just can't do that. Well, this hair clip is different in design and function. I've been using it for about 3 months now. No more brittle hair to attach them to and no more acrobatics in public. The best part; These hairpins are very inexpensive.
