i finally found a nice quality large size clip [SEP] i have been happy with this clip the spring on my old goody clip finally bit the dust and finding a quality replacement in a large inches size is quite challenging i find that most clips nowadays are made with a brittle type of plastic that when i inevitably drop it on my tile floor a tooth or two on the clip can easily break off this clip seems to be made of the more pliable or soft plastic like my old goody clip was made of so drops do not result in a tooth shattering off the clip i also really like the low profile of the tabs for your fingers on the back of the clip they do not protrude nearly as much as on a regular clip and i like that i also like the tortoise shell color it blends in well with my hair color i was willing to pay for a quality clip that would last and i am happy with this purchase i like to have a few around the house for whenever or wherever i need them cooking in the kitchen in the bathroom for brushing teeth washing face in my suitcase etc i will definitely be buying a couple moreupdate july i still really like this clip and use one every day i own several however i have now had two break within a couple of months of purchase one was at months and one at months i cannot remember what broke on the first one but this last one the spring did not break it was the plastic that holds the spring that twisted and will no longer hold the spring see photo i love these clips because i have very long hair and they do hold my hair but at each i wish they lasted longer than or months i had a goody clip that lasted at least years before it finally failed spring broke too bad goody no longer sells the super large clips stars off for the poor durability of this product
