I am 57 and have very thick, wavy, long, salt and pepper hair! My hair often gets in my face LOL and needs to be pulled back so when I saw these beautiful clips, I had to buy them! They are PERFECT for my big, puffy hair, hold the front pieces of my hair back well, and secure it all day. Also, I LOVE the colors especially the frosted green clip! These are my favorite, every day clips! I have received many compliments on these clips too -they are handy, stylish, and very cute!
