I like these clips, they are big enough to hold up all my hair, and they do feel like a bit sturdier material than the plasticy ones you find at drugstores. My only complaint is that the color started rubbing off on the insides of the combs after only a few uses, revealing the clear material inside, and I'm concerned it will start wearing off on the outside too eventually and look weird. I don't use any products in my hair, so it can't be blamed on that.
