Cameo Bobby Spinners Review

Honestly aside from dyeing my hair on a regular basis, I'm not fussed about how it looks. However these pins make my life so much easier. I often have my hair tied back, especially on days when it hasn't been washed, and these are just so easy to twist into my hair. They prevent breakage, unlike my regular hair ties, and when I let my hair down after doing my make up the natural curls are often accentuated. I really love these and once they've all disappeared (I mean, I doubt these are exempt from the disappearing bobby pin rule) I will definitely buy some more. Plus, they're super affordable!

The spinners are one of my favourite things that BR has introduced me to. My first reaction was "the heck!?", I flipped the cardboard over to have a quick read of the "how-to" and added them to the "too hard" basket.

Two months later (I know) I decided to give them a go. In general, I twirl my thick wavy hair straight into a bun and use a hair tie to secure it. When I lose my hair tie I have to resort to a good 10-15 bobby pins to ensure that my hair stays in place, particularly if I've straightened it and popped it up into a bun because it has a tendency to slip out.

I didn't waste time trying to work out the dynamics of these pins, I hopped on Youtube and googled how it's done. It took me three attempts to figure out what works best for me which is one pin to secure the end (where the hair normally gets tucked into the bun) and the other at the base. The spinners hold my bun in place all day.

I've gone jogging with my dog a few times and my bun remained in place except on two occasions. I feel that placement is important so it's good to take the time to figure out what works for you and how the pins will work for the type of hair you have. If you have thin hair I'm not so sure you'll get as much benefit out of it as someone like myself with thicker hair.

They are easy to spin into place and just as easy to remove my spinning them in the opposite direction. I was concerned about the spinners tugging on my hair when I was trying to remove them but I've never had an issue.

Overall, I'm happy to have these pins and would highly recommend to those with thick medium-long hair. They're so much better than having to go through a pack of bobby pins that go missing after the first few days!

This slightly strange design is magic. Seriously. I'm not sure how but it literally screws into your hair and feels so solid! I was able to do with one bobby pin what I would normally use around 5/7 for. It's got great hold. I like that it feels strong too. It's made of some type of metal.

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.

I was rather sceptical about these wee babies, they seemed to be too small to be so strong, but they are!!!

I have long hair and wear my hair up at least half the time, and found these to be great for keeping my hair in place without a bulky clip.

I do use about six in my hair just to ensure it stays up, but my hair is one and heavy.

Would certainly recommend to others, they are very easy to use, and easy to find, unlike regular bobby pins and hair grips which seem to vanish before my very eyes!

Great product!!!

After much confusion of wondering what I was accidently placed in my BRBB box, I thought wait.. the BR girls don't do mistakes! These must be heaven waiting to be unboxed. So I went on to read about what they do, and honestly, I didn't believe they would be that great.

These little suckers are actually amazing. At first you wonder what on earth they do, but once you get the gist of it, you would never let go.

Put your hair in a bun, pop these in just like a screwdriver (without the pain of course) and you end up with the PERFECT bun! No tangles, no hassle, and best of all... no bulges in your hair that make it ever so obvious that you have something there.

They're an amazing item that I would definitely rebuy.

I have silky hair and the strands are fine, so my hair doesn't hold bobby pins, hair bands, head bands etc very well. They always fall out. I tried making hair buns a lot of times, but needed almost 25 bobby pins to keep them in place which always resulted in headaches. When I received these spinners in the BRBB, I was very sure that they won't work. Still I made a hair bun using them and I was surprised to see the bun stayed in place for 6 hours! In fact, they were perfectly placed until I decided to remove them. And to top that, it was the most best looking hair bun I have ever made.

They are incredibly simple to use and take out as well. They are also comfortable to wear and doesn't pull hair tight. All in all, easy to use and stylish to wear. One won't regret purchasing it ever!

When I saw these in the BRBB I didn't quite know what to think. I have long-ish blonde (coloured) thin hair, and I don't get particularly creative with my looks. It is either a ponytail or down and straight. On the odd special occasion it gets curled but that is about it. So seeing these spirally 'spinners' scared me to start out with... what sort of knots will I get my hair into with these!

The spinners themselves are just metal spirals. They come in different colours to match your hair colour, mine being blonde. My favourite thing is that although they are not completely solid you don't get that problem of them opening out like you do with bobby pins.

I have found these great for putting my hair up in a bun or in a french twist. Just turn them clockwise and they slip in. I like that they don't make my hair feel really tight against my scalp when wearing an up-do. These keep my hair in place all day and come out of my hair without creating any knots. My only fear with these is losing them! I hope they don't disappear as easily as bobby pins do.

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!
