Review title is Good for Holding Hair in Place......  As a ponytail holder, no. [SEP] I do find these hair clips quite sturdy!  I have been using them to hold a pony tail. But not as strong to hold a ponytail on securely.  The teeth are very small,  and there is no grip of the hair.  The clip will fall.<br /><br />Many years ago,  I had a ton of hair and now,  sadly,  it has thinned out.  I now can use hair clips to hold the entire hair.  I like that the clips look simple,  they are not bulky and fit easily on my hair.  I usually use one  and/or two on the pony tail.  I can wear this clip on my hair in public and it is not very visible.  I am getting a lot of use right now.  I like the clips!  The Clips will hold a ponytail,  but eventually will slide.  Just use it for holding the hair back in place.
