Promising review: "I'm in love! I have gotten to a point in my life where using a hairtie for my bun gives me the worst headache and doesn't keep my hair in place. These spiral Bobby pins are the best! I was blown away that these held up my thick, long hair all day even lasting through a jog! No headache and no pulling. Very easy to use, just place where you want to hold down your bun or updo, twist in one way, and when you are ready to remove just twist out the opposite way. I wish I knew about these years ago! Kitsch is my favorite hair accessory brand and these are my new fav!!!!!" —Amazon Customer

This set comes with seven bun rings (two Small, two Medium, one Large, one Extra-Large),  20 bobby pins, and five ponytail holders.  

Promising review: "I never thought I could pull off those sleek, full-looking buns — until I tried this donut hair bun maker! It’s seriously a game-changer. The sponge is lightweight, comfortable, and holds its shape all day without slipping. It only takes a minute to roll my hair through and pin it in place, and the result looks like I just left a salon. It’s great for both casual and formal looks, and I love that it works whether I’m going for a messy bun or a polished one. I have medium-length hair and it holds just fine, but I could see this working well for longer hair too. If you’re all thumbs when it comes to hair like me, this little tool will become your new best friend!"—Momoftheyearish

Promising review: "I have to wear my hair up everyday at work and I wear this to make my bun look fuller and it looks so beautiful. I get so many compliments. It looks real!! People ask me all the time how I did my hair like that. I don’t understand why some people are saying it doesn’t stay on. All you have to do is wrap it around twice like you’re using a normal hair tie. You don’t need Bobby pins or any clips. Just make sure you fluff the hair out after wrapping the hair piece around your bun. I love this so much. You should buy it!!!" —Amanda

Promising review: "I have limited mobility and chronic muscle pain in my left arm, and these are a lifesaver. I wear my hair in a braid daily, and these are so helpful for when I accidentally leave out a lock of hair from the braid. Now I can easily just thread it into the braid instead of having to start over from the beginning. Also, I can’t wait to use these on my niece’s hair to do some cute hairstyles. They are very flexible (while also being durable), so I don’t have to worry about hurting her sensitive scalp/hair. Super happy with this purchase and definitely recommend to anyone looking to try some fun hairstyles, or someone who might need a bit of help doing their own hair." —Marcy

Promising review: "Get these now! I love the variety of styles and colors. I’m in my 30’s and enjoy a little accent of sweetness from time to time. These bows feel delicate enough to be worn by gals of any age that appreciate a little whimsy. None of the clips seemed broken or weak for the price. They hold firmly in my fine, thin hair." —Amanda Wingo

Promising review: "I wasn't sure these would work in my hair: it's slick, mostly straight and I don't use product in it. A lot of combs, barrettes, etc. just fall out. But after rolling up my hair, the large, multi-tooth comb went in the side and stayed secure for hours. I haven't tried all the pieces in the set yet but I'm very happy with the ones I've used!" —Fhazure

Promising review: "I have gotten so many compliments on these cute hair ornaments. I often wear them in multiples to give the impression of a bigger hair clip, as I have thick, curly hair, and small clips tend to get "lost". Inexpensive, but adds a lot to my style!" —Louis Kruse

Promising review: "Wow! I didn’t really have high expectations for these, but thought I ‘d give it a shot. These are terrific! I am a middle-aged woman with hair on the thin side. I like to wear my hair up, and I generally use a regular clip for that, though I often struggle with this and have to try half a dozen times until it looks right. These combs are very easy to use— it just took me a minute or two to figure it out for the first time. I’d say these stretchy hair combs are a complete game-changer for me! I really like how they look (they add just a little fanciness!), and they hold better than a clip. What a nice surprise it was to try these!" —Spread joy
