The colors are great. The matte finish is smooth not rough. I have extremely thick hair and these hold it up no problem. Excellent purchaseThese clips are perfect office wear if you happen to be working from home. The coating on them have a soft feel.They are your basic clips, about the quality you would expect for the current asking priced. I have noticed some of the coating starting to thin on the tip of the teeth after repeated wear. The colors are darker in real life as pictured.These are very convenient to quickly throw your hair up in a cute messy way.These big claw hair clips are perfect. It says they are made for thick hair, and will indeed work best with that type, but if you have thin hair but longer hair these can work just as well.There are 10 different colors and two different styles included with this pack. These work very well for clipping up your hair in the back completely, sectioning for whatever you need your hair sectioned for, and with all the different colors you can easily color coordinate with whatever you are wearing.These are a pretty good strong design so you don’t have to worry too much about them breaking easily.These are literally best hair clips, I love it. My hair is so thick and long so I thought it wouldn’t hold my hair like others but it picks up my hair and holds all day! These clips are durable and stylish. Love these colors, great price and quality too!
