as advertised [SEP] not sure why other reviewers thought this came with clips and pins it is advertised as just the bun makers all things considered i thought these were a great value for the price i appreciate that they have two sizes and they are very easy to use but they do not come with instructions i put my hair into a ponytail slip it through the opening slide the maker to the end of my hair and roll it up toward my head and round it out for a bun i do not use clips unless i am going out and about
