Camila Paris CP2 French Large Banana Clip Hair Comb, Classic Banana Clips Hair for Thick Hair Ponytail Holder Interlocking Styling Clip for Women Made in France

love it! never understood how to use these in the 90s/2000s but glad they’re coming back. it adds a lot more volume and makes your pony tail look longer. my hair is naturally wavy, but straightened in these pics. i also have some pretty short layers. the key is to flip your head upside down and use the comb to drag the hair up a little, then flip right side up and clip at the top. it holds for me pretty well and is easy enough to fix if my hair slips out a bit. I imagine this would hold even better when your hair has some texture/wave/curl.

This is the best quality I have ever found. I would much rather pay "too much" and have a product that will last. The inexpensive ones are flimsy and prongs ALWAYS break. Little by little, one tong at a time, until there's nothing in the middle to hold your hair. I'm switching to buying a few really good ones that will last indefinitely instead of continually replacing a drawerful of crappy ones. They're worth it and so are we.

The combs on the banana clip were crooked & bent. The clip itself did not snap together firmly and the combs were unable to grasp the hair - it was loose and did not hold hair. It's a product that you would expect to find at Discount Bargain store, not worth $12 dollars. Very disappointed in it's quality.

I love the look and it is very comfortable. But it slips loose very quickly.

Cute but not tight enough for me, I have very fine/thin hair.

I was using a banana clip my mom had used. It eventually broke one day so I was on the hunt for a replacement that could handle my thick curly hair. This clip is perfect! And nearly identical to the old vintage one I was using.It holds my hair all day. It doesn’t hurt or pull the hair. It’s also super comfortable if I need to lean back against a headrest. That’s one reason why I prefer them over standard claw clips!I think the reason why people struggle so much is because they don’t use it correctly or buy the incorrect size for their hair. You don’t need a huge clip for thin hair. Thicker hair will need a bigger clip. There is a learning curve to use but I’ve always flipped my hair over, pulled my hair into a pony, placed the clip under, flipped my head back over and secured.

Super lightweight and not very sturdy. It broke the week after I bought it but it held my hair up super cute

I have very fine & slippery hair but a lot of it, and the 4.5" size is perfect for comfortably and securely keeping my hair out of my face and off my neck. It doesn't leave a crimp or rip out hair. Compare to banana clips that use wire and elastic, I like that these are much more durable and won't stretch or deform over time. I definitely plan to order in more colors!
