Cameo Bobby Spinners Review

These came in the March BRBB. I looked at them and wondered what they were for. Well did I find out when I turned the card holding them over.

My hair isn't as long as some peoples but still below the shoulders. I can hold my hair up with 1 of these pins, granted it is not the prettiest bun to look at, until I take it down. My hair isn't very long, shoulder length, I just pull my hair into a pony tail and twist till it goes around itself to form the bun, screw in the pin and done. When I do a half up bun though, the bun is so small the pins show at the other end.

While I am not likely to use these out and about, at home they are handy when I just want my hair out of the way. I can see some people getting great use out of these, mainly the school kids and people needing an up do for work or dance.

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!

I really like these. I usually wear my hair in a ponytail, and don't bother with anything fancy. Occasionally I like to wear a bun, but it's often difficult since I have to use a million bobby pins and even then it still doesn't look right.

These spinners make life (and hairstyles) easier. I simply put my hair up and spin the three pins through the bun. It holds perfectly and for a very long time. I find these really easy to use, to get in and out of my hair, and they make it simple to do my hair. They won't give you the perfect immaculate bun, as there are always hair stragglers, but they certainly make it a lot easier!

These are such a great Idea! They actually have more hold than your average bobby pins. I never used to wear my hair in a bun as it never used to have any hold. Bobby pins and hair spray failed. I was looking forward to trying these. They are basically self explanatory. They spiral into your bin instead of placing them in straight like a bobby pin. I now wear buns more often and I have never had one of these Bobby Spinners let me down yet!

I received these in the March Beauty Box. I really could not figure out what to do with them and I was worried I would end up with them stuck fast in my hair, or worse, a serious injury!

I do have hair slighty longer than shoulder length, and it's always tied up and clipped back, so I would have used them if I could have worked out how to.

In theory they sound like a good idea, but in reality? not for me!

In theory these sound good having the strength of 20 bobby pins in one spinner. But unfortunately it doesn't work for my hair because it is too thin. They struggle to grip onto my hair and stay there. They also succeeded in making my hair very knotty. I can tell they would be great if you had thick long hair - so I shall be passing onto a friend with hair like that.

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.

These are great, I was given a couple from my sister and I have long thin hair that doesn't like being controlled and slips out of bobby pins unless enforced with a hair tie! I liked them so much I bought some in brown when I stopped highlighting my hair! The way they twist into each and stay on the diagonal all day is great unlike Bobby pins that don't intersect with each other well and stay put. There is no scrapping your scalp either! Tidy to store as they twist into each other and it's not lots of little thin easy to loose Bobby pins.

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.
