not what i hoped [SEP] all three of the hair slides i received were almost so flat they definitely couldn t be used functionally and almost couldn t even be used decoratively attaches to my hair there s just not enough curve to the metal and gap for grabbing hair i can t even use them for a little grab of half up half down because the weight to grip ratio is too great i bought them for my top knots but they just don t curvei also hadn t noticed all three slide sticks have a heart on the handle side which has i been able to make the slide work i would ve switched for something less juvenile
