i don t know how anyone was able to even wear these [SEP] k so you hold your hair up and do a little bun type thing with one hand then with the other hand you open up the hair clip and clip your hair that s how i do it at least can t do that with these as they require two hands to open lol i tried so hard and i do not have small hands for a women my hands are actually quite large for a women and i m fairly strong the way these are made is just stupid no idea if they fall apart as i returned them as soon as i realized i can t put them in my hair
