I use these for my daughter for gymnastics as she has to wear her hair in a bun. She has very thick, long curly hair & the pins hold her hair in place perfectly for hours. I've tried other pins from other places & they don't work as effectively as...

These are excellent pins for keeping a bun in place. They are not meant to be used as hair grips as one reviewer was hoping to use them for

I know the other review said these are stretched out but that is how they are supposed to be- these are hairpins- if you need flat ones, you're looking for bobby pins/hair grips. These are good if you struggle to get buns to stay in place or do dancing.

When I brought these they were all stretched out and I was unable to use them ! They are a waste of money I would recommend the ones on cardboard where you can see them and know they are not stretched like the ones I recieved !!!!
