the clips with pins look nice but slide out of hair easily [SEP] i bought these cups because they seemed a bit more professional than a ponytail or other barrettes i thought they would be nice for work i do like the styles some of the clips did not work for me as i have long thick hair the ones with pins worked and they look nice my only complaint is that they don t stay put very well i have to re do my hair several times during the day due to slippage overall i m happy with most of the purchase but could do without the clips and barrettes that are too small to work in thick hair i could not give stars due to those not being strong enough and because the larger clips slide out of hair
