Cameo Bobby Spinners Review

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 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!!!

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 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! :)

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 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

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'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.

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.

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.
