Great idea, if it just worked [SEP] I was excited when this product arrived promptly and was pretty much what I thought I wanted. I purchased it to use with silk ribbon embroidery, which I had put on hold for awhile. So I did not use the product. I pulled it out recently for a trip to actually use for my hair. It does not work. It is supposed to twist and pop out. It does not pop out. Unfortunately I purchased this awhile back (a few months)  and now am just warning others, try it out as soon as you get it!! Great idea, just did not work. It was also hard to find online instructions, but they are there. I have had two others try to make this work. Does not pop for them either.
