Promising review: "So my hair is thick and down to my knees, and this clip can ACTUALLY hold it all in place without having to readjust or even think about the fact I have a clip in. Whattttttt! Amazing! I can't even count how many other basic clips I've purchased and snapped in half trying to get them to clip in better to actually hold my hair in place. Don't have to worry about hair ties damaging my hair either, which was happening often as I didn't have anything to tie it back with that worked. I will say at first glance, this clip doesn't necessarily look like I can hold that much but, yes, yes it can, don't even underestimate it haha. And the clip is extremely lightweight too, which is perfect because no one wants to add even more weight to their hair! Bravo PATTERN!" —Lindsay F.
Get it from Pattern for $10.
