Where have you been all my life!

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.

A Small suprise

These were an item i received in the last beauty box, and i have to admit, i was a little confused by them. I had never seen bobby pins like this, and pushed them to the side, and focused on my other goodies.

It wasn't until i was doing my hair one day, with a donut bun that i was in desperate need of bobby pins and of course, i had none available (isnt that every ones story). These were all i had, so i played around with them and twisted them into my hair.

Firstly, it is so easy to twist this into your hair, and they are easy enough to twist far enough so that your hair covers all traces of the spinner. I only needed these three spinners,and one other bobby pin to fully secure my bun, which lasted all day! This is saying alot, because my hair is thick, long and heavy, and i can easily use 10 or more bobby pins in my hair.

The only negative i have over these spinners is the fact i find them harder to remove than normal bobby pins. Its not impossible, its just a bit more time consuming to unwind the spinner out of my hair. However, i would still buy these and use these again in a heart beat because they are effective, and you don't need many to create the hairstyle i want.

Handy, easy to use...

I loved the novelty of these bobby spinners. As soon as I found out about them I was thinking how awesome they sounded (as long as you don't twist two together lol). So when they arrived in the March BRBB I was so happy, I didn't have to try to search them out (I tend to forget to look to be honest) and as soon as I tried them I thought YES, I can see me using them all the time.

Skip forward a week and I see so much of the painted surface has flaked off to reveal bare metal, but they still work so in they would go. They hold my super fine hair very well but can take some maneuvering to hold using only one or two but still I deem that successful.

Now roll forward a couple of months and well to be honest I don't use them much (ok at all) right now but I think that is purely because the novelty has worn off (much like the paint). I still love the concept of them and think they are handy to keep in my purse... you know... just in case, but I really only found them handy for keeping loose buns from coming undone and not really much else.

Tips: Really easy to use, simply position in the direction you want to secure hair and twist until pin is tucked neatly away in your hair

perfect

These seemed very interesting when I first looked into them. I have rather long curly hair and these are now a bit of a must have for one main reason. Stability... I can pop my hair in a quick bun and add one of these and it won't fall out. Why is this important you ask? I ride a motorbike and the last thing I want is my hair coming out and becoming nastily tangled and gross for the remainder of my ride (which has happened before) and with one of these I've never been let down. Love them and use them whenever I want my hair to stay where I've put it.

Tips: if in doubt check out YouTube for tutorials

Spin away

These came in the March BRBB. I looked at them and wondered what they were for. Well did I find out when I turned the card holding them over.

My hair isn't as long as some peoples but still below the shoulders. I can hold my hair up with 1 of these pins, granted it is not the prettiest bun to look at, until I take it down. My hair isn't very long, shoulder length, I just pull my hair into a pony tail and twist till it goes around itself to form the bun, screw in the pin and done. When I do a half up bun though, the bun is so small the pins show at the other end.

While I am not likely to use these out and about, at home they are handy when I just want my hair out of the way. I can see some people getting great use out of these, mainly the school kids and people needing an up do for work or dance.

Tips: Screw them in like a screw driver.

Super grippy Bobby Spinners

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!!!

Not for me

In theory these sound good having the strength of 20 bobby pins in one spinner. But unfortunately it doesn't work for my hair because it is too thin. They struggle to grip onto my hair and stay there. They also succeeded in making my hair very knotty. I can tell they would be great if you had thick long hair - so I shall be passing onto a friend with hair like that.

Seriously twisted wonders

On a bit of cardboard are three stretched to pronged weird looking hair spinners, very unlike a bobby pin but the same principle pop them in and your hair stays put. A lover of bobby pins so if these work and do what they say I'm in. I was a little nervous of putting these spinners in my hair as what goes in has to come out and I've made many a knotty mess before. So a wee ponytail twist and twist a spinner in clockwise and my hair stays put, so in with all three. I made a messy bun thing and these held my hair all day they didn't fall out they just stayed all day and not a tight hold but a good hold. Removal time just twist in the opposite direction and out they came no knots or getting stuck or crying and having a matted mess. I'm hooked they do have a really good hold on my hair, nice to put my hair up without hair ties, that do weaken and break my hair. These are great and I've only lost one so far these are cheap and easy to use and do a great job. For me these will be on the repurchase list as I need more.

Amazing!

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!

You make it sound so easy! they looked so scary to me that I gave them to a colleague (who's also on BR) who promptly rolled her hair up in them!!!! I would've ended up in hairdresser A and E I reckon :)

Holy grail of bobby pins

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.
