Cameo Bobby Spinners Review

I received these in the March Beauty Box and I'm amazed at how good these actually are, they claim to be as strong as 20 normal bobby pins, which I think is true!

I have long fine hair with dry ends, which I put up in pony tails and plaits very often, I don't tend to pop it up in buns as much as I would like as I find bobby pins can't hold my hair up, it slowly falls out during work. (Cheerleading coach and Zumba fitness instructor)

I gave them a test at home first with two bobby spinners in, it gave me lovely hold, and a nice full bun, I was really impressed! Next I tried them at work, and WAHOO! It stayed in all day long, two cheerleading practices, and one hour of Zumba! They work a treat, they slide in easily, and are hidden underneath the bun.

I have found that the colour is starting to chip off them all though, I'm not sure if its because I've got them wet, or that is what happens after a while.

Also, I don't think they can multi task for anywhere as much as the regular bobby pins can, it didnt work for a quiff, as it stuck out too much, or a half up half down do. So thats a bit of a shame, but to know I have a perfect bun that will hold each time is great.

These are the niftiest little life savers.

I have my hair up in a bun a third of the time for work and love how easy and convenient these bobby spinners are to use. Just a few seconds to twist in and a few more to remove.

They are far more robust than bobby pins and I'm yet to say I've lost one. My hair has always remained in place with the few up do's I've used these spinners for. (Buns and half up half down styles)

These have probably been the single most useful product I have received in a Beauty Review Beauty Box.

I received a brown pack of these in my March beauty box and my first thought was 'how am I ever going to use these things?!' They looked a little crazy and I didn't see how they were going to work, but seeing as I put my hair up a lot I was intrigued. I took them straight out of the box, twirled my hair into a bun, rolled a couple of these into it and was blown away...they were so simple to use and my bun felt super sturdy! I now use one or two in combination with extra long bobby pins to safely secure my buns for the day. The only downside is the paint seems to be chipping off them quite easily, but you don't see them anyway. I'll definitely be repurchasing these at some stage, and I'm happy to see they come in a blonde version too!

These were a nice little surprise in the March BRBB, when I first saw these I thought I probably wont use them. But I do like to try everything at least once. I don't know why these weren't invented earlier. I wear a bun quite regularly and by the end of the day its coming loose(sometimes by lunch). With these spinners it holds really well, it doesnt come out at all. Will be great to use for future up-do's. Easy to spin into place, a little harder for my clumsy fingers to get out(can't just pull it).

I managed to get my hands on a set of these out of the beauty vault and I'm so glad I did. I honestly never would have thought of buying them off the shelf if I had seen them at the store I have really thick long hair that is normally too heavy for a tidy bun for more than half an hour. Which is a pain considering I'm going back to work and need a quick presentable do that will stay. I used three of these in a quick bun and they honestly held it up all day. Gone are the hair ties and entire pack of bobby pins to keep my hair presentably fixed to my head. Three of these bad boys did an amazing job and I couldn't be happier. I am definitely going to buy more when I see them

Honestly aside from dyeing my hair on a regular basis, I'm not fussed about how it looks. However these pins make my life so much easier. I often have my hair tied back, especially on days when it hasn't been washed, and these are just so easy to twist into my hair. They prevent breakage, unlike my regular hair ties, and when I let my hair down after doing my make up the natural curls are often accentuated. I really love these and once they've all disappeared (I mean, I doubt these are exempt from the disappearing bobby pin rule) I will definitely buy some more. Plus, they're super affordable!

After much confusion of wondering what I was accidently placed in my BRBB box, I thought wait.. the BR girls don't do mistakes! These must be heaven waiting to be unboxed. So I went on to read about what they do, and honestly, I didn't believe they would be that great.

These little suckers are actually amazing. At first you wonder what on earth they do, but once you get the gist of it, you would never let go.

Put your hair in a bun, pop these in just like a screwdriver (without the pain of course) and you end up with the PERFECT bun! No tangles, no hassle, and best of all... no bulges in your hair that make it ever so obvious that you have something there.

They're an amazing item that I would definitely rebuy.

The spinners were part of the March beauty box, I must say I have never seen anything like them before, I have medium length hair which I have tied up a fair amount. I had lots of fun experimenting with these clips and recommend them to anyone wanting hold for their up-dos. I am finding I'm using them frequently in my hair styles. Worth the $5. Also will last longer than bobby pins.

The spinners are one of my favourite things that BR has introduced me to. My first reaction was "the heck!?", I flipped the cardboard over to have a quick read of the "how-to" and added them to the "too hard" basket.

Two months later (I know) I decided to give them a go. In general, I twirl my thick wavy hair straight into a bun and use a hair tie to secure it. When I lose my hair tie I have to resort to a good 10-15 bobby pins to ensure that my hair stays in place, particularly if I've straightened it and popped it up into a bun because it has a tendency to slip out.

I didn't waste time trying to work out the dynamics of these pins, I hopped on Youtube and googled how it's done. It took me three attempts to figure out what works best for me which is one pin to secure the end (where the hair normally gets tucked into the bun) and the other at the base. The spinners hold my bun in place all day.

I've gone jogging with my dog a few times and my bun remained in place except on two occasions. I feel that placement is important so it's good to take the time to figure out what works for you and how the pins will work for the type of hair you have. If you have thin hair I'm not so sure you'll get as much benefit out of it as someone like myself with thicker hair.

They are easy to spin into place and just as easy to remove my spinning them in the opposite direction. I was concerned about the spinners tugging on my hair when I was trying to remove them but I've never had an issue.

Overall, I'm happy to have these pins and would highly recommend to those with thick medium-long hair. They're so much better than having to go through a pack of bobby pins that go missing after the first few days!

So after ALL the hype of the Beauty Review Beauty Box that I did not get- I saw these at the warehouse and didn't hesitate to buy them. My first attempts were pretty terrible, but the way they screw into your hair is really quite novel. I have quite long hair, and a lot of it. I tie my hair into a pony tail and twist it around and use the spinners to secure it into a bun. The placement of the pins seems to be paramount to a good bun, unfortunately I have not mastered it yet- sometimes it lasts ages and others it falls out and I have to resecure it. This may also be due to the state of my hair in terms of washing- as freshly washed hair tends to fall out more easily. Overall, I'm still learning to use these pins- but I can see that they are a great addition to the hair drawer. They are a pretty genius idea and I intend to keep using them.
