Sturdy and Well Made [SEP] Sturdy and well made. I drop clips a lot and the teeth break off. I also manage to mess up the springs so they don't last too long. These are better quality in that I dropped it twice and no teeth broke. My hair is a little below my shoulder and average thickness. The are large enough to clip my hair, but if your hair is real long or really lush I think you might need a bigger clip.
