only half are still usable and they do not hold in hair [SEP] my daughter likes to wear braids and buns and i have been looking for sparkly or jeweled hair pins to dress them up a little these look so pretty in the picture they arrived pins in a little plastic container six of the flowers were floating around at the bottom no longer attached to the pin on delivery bummer i thought oh well still have within two uses i was down to ten they come apart very easily from the pin the pin itself is also oddly shaped with a wide gap and because of the weld you cannot squeeze it tighter my daughters hair is a little on the fine straight side so these do not hold and keep sliding loose i am pretty disappointed both with the quality and how they secure into hair i would not recommend them
