Soft 'N Style Hair Pin Box, 2" L, black

My daughter is a competitive dancer, we use a lot of hair pins. These work well, they hold her hair. They are easy to use, and you get a lot in the box for a good price.

LOVE THESE - I have purchased them several times now... I workout and during my training sessions these hair pins definitely keep my hair in place.

I originally bought these hair pins for my youngest, who dances at a studio that requires full-on ballet buns every day of class. She, however hated them, so they were handed off to me.These are perfectly serviceable hair pins, but in my daughter's opinion, they aren't as useful as others we've gotten in the past from Sally Beauty. The coating is very similar to the basic bobby pins you'll find anywhere, and my daughter says they make them more slippery in her estimation. I find I use several more of them on my hair than when I use some of her pins, but that may be because they are smaller, and not because they lack the rougher hatched coating she prefers. There are a LOT of them in this box, so even if you seem to go through hair pins like tissues, it should last you a long time.

Wow, an entire pound (literally) of great hair pins! I had been searching all over for this quality, color, and size of hair pins. I wear my hair in two criss cross braids across the top of my head, and I use 4 hair pins daily. These hair pins hold my braids in place all day and through the night - securely and gently without ANY pain.The size and color of the hair pins are fantastic. Although I have an entire pound of hair pins, after over three weeks, I'm still using the same 4 pins - still in great shape. It's like having a cute little purple box of treasures.

The black stuff comes off in my hair. I love the size and length of these hair pins. The ball on the tips are a must (those fall off too). Most of the hair pins in the box are not coated and missing the ball.

Works really well, and you get a whole lot of pins. My hair is thick, straight and hard to hold, but these do the trick EVERY time. But I've had them for about a month or 2 now and have noticed that the black enamel of the pins are coming off like peeling paint. I guess this isn't a problem since I have hundreds more of them in the box to replace them with. But I'd rather not have to. Still, I'd purchase them again.

I have pretty thick, straight, shoulder length hair and unfortunately could never understand how people could keep their hair up with bobby pins. I'd have to curl my hair, put a ton of product in it, and even then still have to use handfuls of bobby pins and half the time would make a mess of being able to properly anchor the pins. With these I can get a pretty sturdy bun in my hair with just a couple pins - no having to put them diagonally on each other to anchor.I will say that these are not as good in terms of getting stray wisps out of the way since they have a looser opening, but these have seriously been amazing for me to move away from just doing a simple ponytail!

Strong pins way better than the flimsy ones in the beauty supply stores. The coating does come of after use and I had a few that had the ball tip come off but, that's typical of hair pins. I'm pretty satispied with my purchase.
