The media could not be loaded.  PROLOGUEI have thick curly hair and I've been through dozens upon dozens of hair clips throughout my life. I've always been in search of the Holy Grail of hair clips, fruitlessly, exhaustingly, seemingly without a glimmer of hope in the distance. I thought I found it with my last set, but as those broke one by one (over time, they weren't *bad*), and I was down to my last one, I knew I had to restock. Lo and behold, they were discontinued. Weary at the journey ahead of me, wracked with paranoia over losing my last clip before I found another, I began my quest for the perfect hair clip. Again.After many nights of feverish hair clip research--digging through comments, reviews, articles, and weirdly outdated looking forums you'd think had been gathering dust since 2006 but indeed boasted comments from the modern year of 2017--I can happily say I've found it, truly, with these clips.REVIEWColor:I got the black and gray pair since I wanted more sedate colors. The gray is more like gunmetal blue. They're not painted or anything so there's been no chipping, colors are as solid and saturated as they were when I got them.5 stars for color.Durability:I got these at the end of June, and it's August 28 at the time of writing this review, so I've had time to test them out. In that time, I've dropped these babies on tile, concrete, and asphalt; rested the full weight of my head against all manner of walls, from plaster to brick, with the clip in between; had them tumble and hit every obstacle on the way down; had them drop and go sliding across the floor...you name it, I've done it. At the beginning, I'd cringe as I helplessly watched them fall, convinced they were going to break in front of my very eyes. To my relief, they never did. They don't even seem chipped or scratched, actually.5 stars for durability.Strength, Grip, Comfort:I was surprised at the strength of the grip from the outset. I could tell just from squeezing them open that they were going to be good, before I'd even put them in my hair. When I put them in...I knew for sure. My hair is curly and thick, and currently it's around shoulder length. I was able to get all my hair into the clip and secure it against my head. It felt secure--in fact, it felt more secure than I ever thought it was possible for a hair clip to feel secure. So I immediately put it to the test and proceeded to shake my head vigorously in a fashion which I only assume would have scared away onlookers, had there been any. I have uploaded a reenactment of this event along with this review. Note: the unsecured hair at the top does fly a bit all over, but the clip itself, needless to say, stayed put. It didn't even get a little loose, or shift a tiny bit. I was 100% confident in my head shaking and didn't feel the need to dial it down so as not to overwork the poor hair clip. Miraculously, I did not injure myself in this endeavor.Additionally, it's not difficult or painful to open the claws (I've had clips before that went overboard and took a lot of wrestling and hand cramping to pry open), and it rests comfortably against your head. They don't slip and they stay comfortable over the course of the day. I've even gone swimming in them and had them hold against the drag of the water.I initially thought they were going to be too big, but they're actually a good size. I included a picture, with a tube of Carmex lip balm for size comparison. Hopefully you are familiar, at least relatively, with the size of a Carmex tube.5 stars for grip and comfort.IN CONCLUSIONI've found my Holy Grail of hair clips, they blew my last set out of the water, I'm going to buy another set (probably the purple and amber ones), I hope they never ever get discontinued like my previous ones have, and it's absolutely worth the $11 I paid for them.Thanks for getting this far in my review, it's an essay so I'm flattered by your commitment. You'd think they'd paid me to write this, but they didn't. I really did just spend forty five minutes banging out this review on a pair of hair clips I bought two months ago on Amazon. I had fun writing it though so I hope you had fun reading it, or if you're particularly utilitarian, at least thought it helpful.

Wow! These are The Most Robust hair clips I've ever encountered.I have thick, course, below shoulder-blade length hair. If I washed it every day, it would never be dry. So I need something on a daily basis to clamp the hair up for showering, to use during the summer to keep my hair up without wearing the fancy clips. For years I've been buying the drug-store-brand clips, which would grip my hair if applied in exactly the right spot, and if I try to force it, they'd start to lose their teeth - so they were always a short term investment.These feel like they will last FOREVER. I *almost* feel like they're TOO strong! No matter how I pull my hair back, these babies make it stay put. Whether it's pulling a little bit back from my face to do make-up, or piling it all on top of my head for a visit to the hot tub, these don't need babying - jut pop 'em on, Hair Stays Put.I got the blue & purple 'cause I wanted something for fun/casual use - now I'm so enamored of these I'm going to look at the more traditional colors that I can wear in the office - and I may actually look at the smaller size, since these are actually MORE than I need - Inconceivable!

Got the two-pack for $8.99-- a bit pricey for two plastic jaw clips but I've been having trouble finding jaw clips that are lightweight and can hold my hair securely so I decided to give these a try after reading some of the reviews. I'm happy to find out that these clips' springs actually have enough strength to hold my hair securely! I don't have thick hair, but these have worked very well so far.

I LOVE this clip! It's the only clip large and strong enough to hold my long, thick hair. The shape is great and contours to the shape of the head. I highly recommend.

These clips are very well made but are quite large. If you have a lot of hair or very thick hair, these clips will be excellent. I have suddenly gone through hair thinning and fall out so they are no longer much use to me. Stupid hormones. Otherwise, these have been the best clips I could ever use. Just slightly big and not for fine or thin hair. That is not the fault of the product, just something to let others know before buying if these will work for them or not.

I just received this hairclip today. My first words were "oh so pretty"! I put my hair up right away. Not only is it pretty, it is strong! I have long, thick hair and it feels really good in my hair. I've had it in my hair for about 2 hours now and it hasn't slipped at all. It isn't hurting my head at all. In fact, I really can't even tell that it has my hair clipped up. I really wasn't expecting much because, I've been throwing money away for years to "retail" stores. I've never been happy with not even one of the hair products I've purchased. I always thought that that was just the way it was and that everyone else was doing the same thing. Or that for some reason it was my hairs fault! Lol But, today I discovered that I was not at fault and I really have been getting ripped off. Never again, though. Thank you, Rosette Hair! I will be buying more!

This hair clip is a bit on the pricey side for a claw clip, but its hands-down the best one on the market and can keep your hair up all day. I have thick and long Asian hair, so it tends to slip or doesn't fit in a clip. This is my second time buying this clip only because it broke after I dropped it several times... One thing I would note is to look at the colour of the clip in the item name bc it doesn't match the first product image. Amber is a deeper reddish tortoise colour. Overall, highly recommend this one!
