Every single large clip I tried before these would slowly slide down the back of my head until it launched off in a meeting. These ones actually grip and stay locked.

Day-one clean hair is basically a slip-and-slide for clips. Washed my hair on a Tuesday and went through four clips before noon until I found ones with actual tooth grip.

Wanted soft shiny hair AND a clip that stays — seemed impossible until I figured out which oils absorb instead of sitting on top making everything a slippery mess.
