Charles J. Wahba - Hair Pin (3 1/2" Long) (Set of 6 Pieces) - Tortoise Color - Made in France

Cute, and exactly what I was looking for. Sadly, they're not quite as sturdy or as long as the pair I had before this (which were Scunci brand). My hair is very thick, but these hold it all up nicely as long as I don't attempt to shove them through too much hair at once.I'll probably pick up a few more as spares since these pins are my favorite way to hold up my hair during the day.

I've bought 8 sets and either the tips break or they split in half. With thick hair it's hard to find anything that holds your hair up and doesn't cause unwanted waves when you remove them. I bought the 3-1/4 inch version of these and they seem stronger and more flexible. They are wider and they actually stay put.

I guess I should have read the reviews! Lovely, worked well while intact. Broke with second use. Plastic is just too thin or brittle.

These work great and are attractive but how disappointing when they break in half especially after wearing for only one day.
