Your hair will thank you.
Your wallet will thank you.
Hair accessories can be expensive. Let’s be real, hair ANYTHING can be expensive! Hair products, tool, color, cuts, blowouts- hair things are pricey!
So when I saw a lovely lady rocking a unique and super cool geometric hair clip, I figured I was going to be bummed out at the hefty price waiting for me at the end of my google search.
I mean, it’s happened before; Pinterest once showed me these gorgeous gold minimalist hair bands. When I stalked and finally found the product…yeah, they were EXPENSIVE. I’m talking 3-figure-expensive…for some hair bands.
Naturally, me and my budget went right to Amazon. After a few minutes, I found it! Well, I found a dupe of the original clip I saw on that lovely stranger who inspired my internet hunt. A few more clicks and I found something even better; a whole variety pack! Five hair clips for just $6!
Now, at the time, these particular clips didn’t have many reviews. Ordinarily, I’d keep my search moving until I found an alternative that was more tried and tested BUT, they were only $6! How bad could they be?
I bought them and, Guys…these clips are everything!
They are chic, well made, sturdy and (I cannot stress this enough) super affordable!
We all know the the struggle of using hair clips and feeling your hair start sliding, shifting and coming completely undone; sometimes within a few minutes or sometimes throughout the day. It seems inevitable- clips generally aren’t sturdy or reliable for long wear.
Let me tell you: I wore these clips for the entire work day and not one hair was out of place. Yes- my whole heavy head of hair. One clip. Over 10 hours. My hair did not budge!
Pros:
- Very sturdy and secure
- Clip teeth/prongs are sharp and strong
- Five clip for $6- you cannot beat the price
Cons:
- The teeth/prongs are SHARP. Maybe not so much of a con so much as a heads up- do not scrape your scalp!
- I cannot speak to the longevity of the product. I’ve been using them for about a month and so far they have held up well *fingers crossed*
My honest opinion? They’re super cute and good quality; the fact that these clips are only $6 is insane. I highly recommend these for work and as a fun everyday look just in time for spring and summer updos.
Happy shopping, family!
