Used this camping up north in the wilderness (tent, lakes, bear country, wolves, swimming, hiking, sleeping on the ground, beach combing, starting/maintaining/cooking on a camp fire etc)I almost never put my hair up. But it gets H O T. I also nearly never do my hair. But wanted it to look cute. These came fast, in time enough to pack them for our annual camping trip of 10 days. I'm so glad I got them! I wish I'd gotten 2 2-packs as my hair is to my butt and medium thickness. It would have been slightly more secure, and easier to do. But these worked like a charm!I work in education and with young children. So I'm very active during the school year. I'll be ordering more to tuck away in my classroom for the days things get messy with the kids (painting, sensory table, messy lunch or snacks, floor play like Fort or train track or Lego building, etc) and I know I'll be confident my hair will look cute and stay up during the day with the pins! I get migraines easily and any tight hair ties or headbands (or any hair item really) tends to cause my scalp to hurt and temples to begin to throb. I DID get a migraine during the camp trip, but these pins didn't even need to come out and I was able to keep my hair up during the hot day. I cannot say that about literally any hair item I've ever tried. In fact, some very high hold hair sprays and gels have caused those symptoms in the past. I'm so thankful to have found these and would recommend them to anyone, whether you are looking for an easy way to pull up your hair in a cute way, an item that won't exacerbate your migraine symptoms, a fast hair accessory, an easy intuitive hair item, etc. Whether you're one who thinks you cannot do your hair for the life of you (me) or one who prides themselves on the beautiful ways you manage to create updos and styles (not me lol but a bit of help in that area with this product!) You should absolutely try these out!Also worth noting, I nearly never give reviews on products. I had no discount or free product in exchange for this item, etc. I'm not invested in any way with this company. I just am happy to finally have found an item that works and doesn't cause frustration, doesn't take forever to learn, doesn't cause pain during migraines, and doesn't require like 30 of them to work with long or thick hair. Like I said, only thing I can say that's not even really a con is I need to order more just so my very long hair updo feels slightly more stable during very vigorous activity. And I'm going to order another pack as soon as this review is posted!

I did NOT expect these spin pins to work. I've tried them today, now I absolutely love them! To test them, all I did was loosely gather and twist my hair (sort of a bad, loose, and low French twist?) ... I screwed in three of the pins .. and ... everything stayed right where I had it! ALL DAY! I didn't mean for that to be my hair-do today, but I wore it to church, and 10 hours later, walking outside, and driving with my windows open, and my hair is all still right where I put it with these spin pins. These are just amazing. My hair is really fine, but I have a lot of it, and it has some texture (will frizz in humidity, holds a curl easily, but only slightly big waves on its own. If your hair is like silk, stick straight, and has zero texture, I don't know if spin pins would work as well, but it might.)For years I only used "Good Hair Days Hair Pins - Plastic" They are okay. Half way through the day, they do slide a bit. I'm always checking them. And occasionally some fall out of my hair and get lost. As they age, they spread and fall out more - and eventually crack and break. Still they were better than anything else I'd tried. Until ... Goody Hair Spin Pin - which I think if mind-blowingly good. (I use pins when I braid my hair - to keep shorter pieces in the braid better.)At the same time, I also bought these others - but don't really like them: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005CSYVIC Goody Styling Hair Bobby Pins - 100 Count, Black - Slideproof and Lock-In Place I wanted these to catch some small wispy locks of hair and hold them in place in an up-do or in my braid. I used some large and some small pins - 6 in total. Only 2 of 6 are still in my hair; four fell out. Will have to test some more, maybe if I squish the pins together more?Back to the spin pins - I will buy another package, because while 3 held plenty well, I would like to have extras in case I lose some. They're very small. Oh - and they're weightless to wear - and more comfortable if my head touches the seat-back or a pillow than my former plastic pins.

These are amazing for buns. I don't know how I got by without them, I'll never go without them again.

I got these bc they were the correct color but I didn’t realize these “mini” ones were about 2/3 the size of the ones I was trying to replace. Its hard to understand the size online. The other color “mini” (the 2 pack) looks bigger(the 3 pack ones are smaller for sure). Anyway that’s my bad and I will still use them but the NON mini ones are the absolute best. I can use one of those and my hair stays in place. These minis are fine I just have to use two pins rather than one “non mini”corkscrew.

I have never been about to put my hair up in a bun without a thousand bobby pins. These little corkscrews are super easy and with just 2 of them (the package has 3) you can secure a beautiful, elegant bun. Very happy!

They are a novel idea and hold my hair up very well (once I figured out how to use them!) but they are difficult to get out of my extremely curly hair! It takes a lot of pulling and tugging. They are small in size which works well for my very fine hair. I wouldn’t recommend this size for thicker or longer hair because they’d be too small.
