cheaply made decent for thin hair [SEP] thought i finally found the right clips for thin hairafter uses this clip snapped in the banana clips are very difficult to open so i do not know how sturdy they are at this pointupdate after closer inspection i found the clip was not broken just came apart there is a slot i was unaware of so repaired for nowfor those of us with arthritis in our hands this type of clip is better than most as far as ease of use
