Review title is Coating flakes off after 1st use [SEP] The clips do well in holding up hair.  However, the color of the hair clips appears to be delivered with some coating that does not hold up well at all.<br /><br />After the first use of placing in hair, the coating started to come loose and chip off near the opening/tips of the teeth.  I thought this flaw may have only impacted one of the clips, but every single one I've used had done this.<br /><br />I would have returned these, but the return window closed on the item before I had a chance to check a 2nd one.
