I love using these Clips for my thick hair. They keep my hair away from my face. I use them to hold half of my hair up and leave the rest of my hair down. This clip is also versatile because I am able to create many different hair styles with it. They are comfortable to wear and do not give me a headache from holding my hair too tight. The one downside is that they are plastic and they do break easily. The good thing is they cost next to nothing so I purchase these clips all of the time. I would definitely suggest trying these Lady Vintage Claw Hair Clip. They are totally worth it!
