Xenclip® Medium 3" Blonde Lifetime Finish USA Made

The 4-inch clips are my favorite everyday clip to use for pinning hair up and back in a casual twist or bun (office work environment). Works great for my slightly wavy, very thick and high-volume hair (length between shoulders and mid back). A friend with very smooth and slippery hair, thinner in volume compared to mine, found that the clips (used smaller clips than my 4-inch version) did not work as well because the clip would slip more and not hold as tight.

I purchased this barrette in large from QVC when I saw it there several years ago. I have a large container filled with all sorts of clips and barrettes, ponytail holders, etc. But, the ZannClip is the only clip that is consistently comfortable and never slips. There is a knock-off sold in drugstores by a major manufacturer but, it doesn't have the stem that holds the clip snuggly in the hair. Rather than throwing out $8+ on a subpar product, I decided to search for the ZannClip when I cut my hair & wanted a smaller clip. I cut 5" off the length of my hair and the large clip still holds onto my hair. But, I wanted the small size so I could pull back the sides of my hair only. You can Google ZannClip to find videos of how to use the barette and how to select the right size for your hair type and length. Yes, this barrette is 4x as expensive as the aforementioned knock-off but, it's worth every dime. The only time I've used a barrette other than my large ZannClip is when I misplaced it. To help reduce the possibility of that happening and because I wear gold and silver jewelry, I opted to buy one each of the gold plated and platinum plated small ZannClip. FYI - this is not a flimsy product. Yes, it's flexible so you can bend it around your hair but, it's not cheap-feeling.

I absolutely love these hair clips. I have very thick longish curly hair and these are the only clips that are strong and flexible enough to hold all of my hair. Thank you for your wonderful product 👍

This looks like a great idea, but doesn't perform as I had hoped. I have long, very thick & heavy hair and it is hard to find a barrette that can hold it securely since Goody stopped making the giant size barrette many years ago. But, it is hard to hold onto this clip while positioning and securing in hair and it doesn't have a tight hold. You may be able to keep hair back loosely, but you won't be able to roll or flip hair up and secure with this clip - its just not tight or strong enough to hold the weight. If you want to give it a try, I suggest looking for one of the less expensive versions and trying that first. This was very expensive for an item that really doesn't work perform.

Holds a french twist like nobody's business! I love that I don't have to use lots of bobby pins to hold my hair up. I read that this clip comes unhooked, but I have been using these - bought it in two colors - I have not experienced either of them coming unhooked.

This is much smaller than I thought it would be. My hair is medium-length, above my shoulders by an inch or so. I cannot use this to put up all of my hair. I can use it for my daughter's hair, who is 8, but my hair does not fit. An extra large size maybe better

OK, so I love updos but cannot do them. Also, I have very fine very smooth hair that usually slips out of most clips. These are just awesome! My favorite way to wear them are to:1) make a ponytail with a regular elastic, then hold it up against my head and put the clip in - the ponytail is intantly higher and falls prettily down (I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself right)2) use it instead of a ponytail holder vertically, like you would a banana clip3) make a quick bun or faux French twist and use this to pin it with just one clipAlso, the company has excellent customer service! I ordered a couple more of these as a Christmas gift, and the shipment ended up being delayed, through no fault of the seller, just weather, and they sent me an email warning me of that and even sent me a couple extra clips free of charge (I did not call them or complain or anything - they just did this proactively!)

I had been thinking about getting these clips for some time. I have long curly hair and I was not sure these would work. They work perfectly! At a time when we are all unsure when our next salon visit will be, these are absolutely miraculous! Beautiful objects and they work exactly as described. So easy to create simple, stylish updos that stay up. When I opened the package, I was surprised to find many more than I ordered. I thought they had made a mistake, until I found a handwritten note saying, 'included extras just because!' Really! Such a thoughtful extra gift at this difficult time! I am sure I will continue to buy Xenclips for many years to come!
