Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have super thick wavy hair that most normal "large" clips just laugh at. And by that, I mean there is NO way on earth they will hold all of my hair (even just pulling up the sides and clasping in the back) and if they do manage it, they likely break soon thereafter. Octopus clips? No. Basic jaw clips? Never. I have my favorite clips I used to only find at Claire's (!) but I can't even find them there anymore, so when I saw this one, I had to try it. Besides, this one is much cooler and stylish than the ones I was getting at the mall! And ho-leeee cow they aren't lying when they say this thing is XXX Large! Just looking at it I actually thought it might be too big for my hair--and I'll be damned--it pretty much is! Just pulling up the sides like I mentioned before? The clip is WAY too big! If I use it to grab my entire ponytail in a twist it kinda fits--but is still almost too big! So, needless to say, this isn't quite the clip for me...the description says it will hold any amount of hair, which isn't technically the case since my thick hair wasn't quite thick enough...but I'll overlook that and give it five stars because it is the only clip I've ever found that will hold more hair than I have! Since I've been in your place--trying to buy a clip pretty much "sight unseen" over the internet--I tried to upload a bunch of photos so you can get an idea of what this clip is like before you buy it. The actual size appears to be quite similar to my favorite clip (the gold one in the photos) but the XXL clip just holds SO MUCH MORE hair.
