OUCH [SEP] These hold up a bun really securely in my long, thick hair. And the rose gold color is cute. Unfortunately, the little balls at the end of the pins that keep them from being sharp are joined so poorly to the pin themselves that they tangle pretty awfully. They are almost impossible (and painful) to get out of my hair, such that I'll only be using them on rare formal occasions where I need a bun to stay up all day or night. The Goody brand ones I have (in the smaller size) are joined much more smoothly and don't have this issue.
