Cameo Bobby Spinners Review

I lusted over these screw like bobby pins after seeing good reviews and YouTube unboxings of the March BRBB which I contained these. When I first saw the package I thought "three, is that all you get?". I have super thick long hair and have to use a million clips to hold my bun in place. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that three of these spinners were enough.

I usually tie my hair up in a pony tail then twist my hair around and secure them with the spinners. They keep my bun tight and secure all day. Usually during the day my bun would come loose and I would lose the nice circular shape I had in the morning. These spinners keep my bun in a nice tight round all day. The real test for me was being able to run and play sport without my bun coming loose. Sadly it didn't quite past the test. I had to keep readjusting the spinners and re-tying my hair. I have however tried adding another hair tie after I twist my hair around which gives more security and stabilises the bun better.

Make sure you push the spinner right deep down into the bun for maximum strength. It will also ensure that your hair completely covers the spinners. I have also found that the paint on the spinners has started to come off due them being rubbed against each other when screwed into my bun. This is not really an issue for me as I have quite thick dark hair, so my hair always covers the clips. But if you have light or blonde hair you would want to make sure your hair covers the spinners so they are not visible.

Overall I think these clips are really good. They are strong and sturdy too so would last ages before wearing out. My bobby pins stretch quite easily and become loose, especially when using them for buns, so I end up going through a packet of those clips quite quickly. So for $5 for three bobby spinners is pretty good. I have been using these spinners for by buns and they always turn out perfect. If you struggle with managing to hold your bun up or getting that nice a round shape I definitely recommend using these.

I scored these from the Beauty Vault and I have to say they are awesome. I wear my hair up most days and find normal clips don't hold and they spey open but these are really strong and hold my hair put all day. They did take a wee bit of playing around to get it right but easy enough you just screw them into your hair! Very good!

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.

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 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.

I received these in my March BRBB and when I first saw them I had absolutely no idea what the heck they were! Obviously by the packaging they were hair thingys, but for what?!

So after reading the back, doing a bit of googling I figured out how to try them. Essentially they're spiral bobby pins; they come in a pack of 3, they're incredibly strong (you can't bend them), and you use them for up-dos by spinning them into your hair.

My first attempt was not entirely successful, but after trying again I managed a gorgeous bun with little effort. I have a LOT of hair, and it's quite long so I was really pleased to see that the 3 pins held it up all day without any problems.

Definitely something I will use again and again, although at $5 a 3 pack, I hope I don't lose them at the same rate I lose bobby pins, so it's something I'll keep an eye out and purchase when on sale.

These are so fantastic! I received mine in the BRBB and thought, what the heck are these... no way they will hold my hair but sure enough, it holds everything in place and it doesn't move a. it!!! I fell really confident usingnthe spinners because everything is held secure and tight. I love that you screw it in and out, kinda weird but perfect! I really like how its not a chore to get them out and you don't have to worry about losing a zillion bobby pins in your hair and finding them on your pillow the next morning!

Ok so when I saw these in the March BRBB it had me looking and thinking what the heck are these what? How? Why? I don't know if I should admit this but it was my partner who looked at them and said "looks like you just screw them in" ahh penny drop moment.

So I made my hair into a bun and twisted all 3 of the spinners into my hair. I waited for my hair to start falling down but nothing it sat perfectly still. it stayed like this all day I was slightly surprised that 3 little screw looking things would hold my hair into place. I normally use 32148 bobby pins and I normally lose all of them I like how these are bigger so they won't get lost. I still have all 3 and I have used them regularly since March. I really need to buy more as a back up they don't pull your hair like some bobby pins can. I was slightly worried about removing them I thought they would get stuck in my hair and I would have a nice big birds nest but no you just twist them anti clockwise and they come out easily no tangles nothing. I'm so glad these were in the beauty box i have never seen these in a shop before but now I will be making an effort to find them with myself and 2 little girls in the house these are perfect.

I still, cannot for the life of me, get these things to work. I've tried every angle possible and in the end I just get so angry with them I almost pull my hair out in an attempt to get them out.

I have tried using one, I have tried using all three spinners, but they just turn me into a spinner and I can't use them. I can get a very, very loose messy bun, but I like my buns a bit tight (hahaha), My hair still falls out, the spinners don't stay in place and I just get frustrated.

I think they're a cool idea in theory but really, just not for me. I'll stick to my trusty hair ties and regular bobby pins.
