Review title is It wasn't for me, but it might be for you? [SEP] My 11 year old daughter tried these with her thick long hair in the following styles:<br /><br />A bun-the hair clip didn't stay tight enough to hold the style<br />A ponytail- it's very tricky to pull the hair tight and get the plastic clip around the hair.<br />One of the clips broke because she over stretched it, in order to open it as wide as possible.<br /><br />She lost interest quickly and rarely uses them now. She prefers a good old fashion rubber band for ponytails.
