These would have been a godsend had I known about them for my daughter's ballet exams last year! I seriously think the most stressful thing about them is getting the hair to stay looking sleek and held together - these make that so much easier! They have a fantastic grip and once they're in, they're in, so theres no chance of them falling out and the bun getting loose, which is fantastic. The only unfortunate thing is that my daughter has so much hair I need to buy another pack because 3 isn't quite enough for her mane - but that's not really a complaint!

The first reaction when I saw these was "what the (insert bad word) are these!"
I have never seen anything like these and they took me by surprise, for a second I thought they were the latest cigarette holders and then I noticed they have directions on the back of the packet.
They are very easy to use, I have done a few messy buns and hair ups using these, I was sent the lighter colored ones (because I had brown hair) and recently went back to black, it isnt hard to hide these in your hair and they make everything so stable and secure, its really insane! For my thin and fine hair I only need to use 2 of these. Wind has nothing on my beautifully done hair, it just stays like its supposed to, but taking them out is a different story, I feel like Im fishing for noodles! It takes a good 3-5 minutes to untangle my hair from these, I do see how great these would be for clients, and most especially for big events like balls and weddings.
My daughter & I have a lot of hair! When I got a set of these in my BRBB, I was hoping this could be the greatest thing for us. but first - how does one use these?? The instructions on the back werent too clear, so off to youtube I went & within minutes I was attempting to get them to stay in my hair. turning them clockwise to get them in & anticlockwise to get them out. it wasnt quite happening for me, but when I tried a half hair bun I had more success. Putting them into my daughter hair, was easy as pie! She has to have a very neat bun every week & low enough for her to wear a hat. 3 of these spinners inserted like a star & we are winning. I do put a bun net over the top, but seriously the easiest & quickest way yet. Also, these spinners are seriously strong, the metal hasn't distorted, although a little of the colour has worn off from where they cross each other. Colour wise - it doesnt really matter, they disappear into the hair & hide very effectively. I need to play some more with these for my hair.
Edit: the colour is coming off these more than I would like, but soon they will be silver, which will be ok.
Tips: To get them out, unscrew them anti clockwise. Insert them so they cross, like an X if using two, or a star if using 3.
I've got lots of hair. It's thick, it's long and has a mind of its own. Unmanageable describes it well.... Until my Beauty Box arrived, that is! Now I've got these Cameo Bobby spinners, I can have an UP do or low bun in minutes... and know it will look the same after hours and hours. My first attempts were a bit unco, especially removing them, but practice helps.
Don't know why they weren't invented sooner.. I won't be without them again.
Tips: Coat your clips with clear nail polish to avoid any signs of wear as the colour does scratch off a bit
These came in my BR box. When I saw them I was a little confused and skeptical as to how to use them and if they would work for my hair. My hair is really long (down to the middle of my back), thick and untameable. In the last I haven't been successful in using just bobby pins to pin all of my hair up so I wasn't convinced that these would do the job.
Firstly, these look like springs haha. You 'screw' them into your hair - clockwise to put them in and anticlockwise to take them out. Although there were instructions on how to put these in, I had to YouTube a tutorial as I didn't quite get the gist of it.
I have worn these a few times since receiving them and I love them. They are super easy to use and definitely keep my hair up! I usually use two or three of these clips to hold my hair in place (it is quite heavy), and this suffices. These keep my hair in place all day and are comfortable to use.
My only issue is that I wish these were in black, as I would prefer them to completely blend in with my hair but this isn't a big enough issue for me to not repurchase them.
I was pleasantly surprised by these and honestly didn't expect to like them. I will be buying more when I am off my no spend and would definitely recommend them!
I was quite skeptical about this product it did not look like it work at all but I tried them for an up do I wanted for a party, and they worked brilliantly, I still will probably use ordinary bobby pins as I am too used to them, but this is a great alternative
The bobby spinners came in the March Beauty Box. It was nice seeing something in the box for hair. When I first saw it I was worried I wouldn't know what to do. I turned the packet around and on the back it had a guide on how to use them. Thank goodness for that.
These Bobby Spinners come in a Three pack. They were securely placed in the packet the came in. They feel like metal Springs. Their spiralled metal springs to secure and bind the hair.
On application of this bobby spinner, I grabbed my hair wrapped it into a bun then inserted the spinner in the middle of my hair and screwed it in. It was quite easy to do this. I found my hair had tension and felt secure and tight. I found it easy to unravel my hair when I was finished using it.
My results was nice tight secure bun. It did need a hair band to give it extra support. I wasn't able to use it solely on its own. I did enjoy using this product.
I had these arrive in my BRBB, in all honest truth I had no flippin idea what they were. So I turned to the trusty internet to watch a vid on YouTube but I still didn't fully comprehend how they worked without getting tangled or making a bees nest of my hair because to me they looked like bed springs or springs on a trampoline (as a kid I remember getting my hair caught in those...Eeep!).
I set aside some time to have a play with them, decided that my plan of a attack was to attempt a messy bun & hopefully these little spinners would hold it in place. I put my hair up in a ponytail placing hanging hair around the base of my ponytail, then proceeded to gradually spin the spinners into my hair, they are very quick to use. And to my surprise they were working!! They were holding my hair in place securely & tight, it was magic & so easy!
The second time I used them, I came home from a party and managed to get them all twisted & tangled in my hair so if possible get someone to help as they are a bit hard to remove after a few drinks.
They are a great little invention and unlike bobby pins I haven't lost them YET! :)
Bobby pins are necessity to me, any up-do requires them so this new and improved innovative design caught my interest.
These spinner pins function the same as regular bobby pins but they're much sturdier, they aren't flimsy and bendable like regular ones can be, in fact they are very strong you can't bend them out of shape if you try.
To put these in your hair you simply screw them in and screw them out to remove, they don't catch and tangle my hair as I thought they might. They hold a lot more hair than the average bobby pin, you need to get a good chunk of hair through the middle of the pin to keep it in place otherwise they fall out. These pins have about a 1cm diametre of space so if you have long and/or thick hair they could be very helpful, whereas if you have fine and/or very short hair they may not be much use to you.
The thing that I don't like about these is that the enamel coating eventually flakes and scratches off, revealing the silver tone metal underneath. I generally chuck my bobby pins when they get to that stage, it's not a big deal when you can buy a mega pack of them for $5. These on the other hand, at $5 for 3 of them, I feel a bit reluctant to throw them out.
While I enjoyed trying these spinner pins I probably won't buy any more unless I saw them for about $2, in which case I absolutely would. They're handy to have when your up-do requires some solid support, but for an item that becomes expendable because of the peeling enamel coating, I think i'll stick to the regular bobby pin value packs.
These were a nice little surprise in the March BRBB, when I first saw these I thought I probably wont use them. But I do like to try everything at least once. I don't know why these weren't invented earlier. I wear a bun quite regularly and by the end of the day its coming loose(sometimes by lunch). With these spinners it holds really well, it doesnt come out at all. Will be great to use for future up-do's. Easy to spin into place, a little harder for my clumsy fingers to get out(can't just pull it).
