Cameo Bobby Spinners Review

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.

I really enjoy using this product. They are easy to use and holds a style. I find that this style of "bobby spinners" hold much better and feels more secure than normal "bobby pins". All you need to do is twist it into place, it's that simple. When I first got them they did look big but once they are in your hair you can't see them at all. Highly Recommend!

These genius little twisties are a saviour. I learnt about these after attending a tiggy tails event where we get taught about hair styling.. mainly for my toddler but also helpful for numpty old me.

I had never seen these before but have been astounded by their effectiveness. My daughters curly hair is tamed and taped into place using these. I also did a wedding updo on my own hair using these to bolt my bun into place.. if only I could do that for another set of my buns!

Reusable - I didn’t feel like I bent these and made them unusable like other pins.

Hidden - actually screw into your hair and is covered by the hair so you can’t see them.

Sturdy - they don’t really bend out of shape so you can reuse them which is good considering the price.

They twist in and out so you don’t really loose them like your traditional pins that seem to vanish at the drop of a pin!

The first reaction when I saw these was "what the (insert bad word) are these!"

I have never seen anything like these and they took me by surprise, for a second I thought they were the latest cigarette holders and then I noticed they have directions on the back of the packet.

They are very easy to use, I have done a few messy buns and hair ups using these, I was sent the lighter colored ones (because I had brown hair) and recently went back to black, it isnt hard to hide these in your hair and they make everything so stable and secure, its really insane! For my thin and fine hair I only need to use 2 of these. Wind has nothing on my beautifully done hair, it just stays like its supposed to, but taking them out is a different story, I feel like Im fishing for noodles! It takes a good 3-5 minutes to untangle my hair from these, I do see how great these would be for clients, and most especially for big events like balls and weddings.

These came in my BR box. When I saw them I was a little confused and skeptical as to how to use them and if they would work for my hair. My hair is really long (down to the middle of my back), thick and untameable. In the last I haven't been successful in using just bobby pins to pin all of my hair up so I wasn't convinced that these would do the job.

Firstly, these look like springs haha. You 'screw' them into your hair - clockwise to put them in and anticlockwise to take them out. Although there were instructions on how to put these in, I had to YouTube a tutorial as I didn't quite get the gist of it.

I have worn these a few times since receiving them and I love them. They are super easy to use and definitely keep my hair up! I usually use two or three of these clips to hold my hair in place (it is quite heavy), and this suffices. These keep my hair in place all day and are comfortable to use.

My only issue is that I wish these were in black, as I would prefer them to completely blend in with my hair but this isn't a big enough issue for me to not repurchase them.

I was pleasantly surprised by these and honestly didn't expect to like them. I will be buying more when I am off my no spend and would definitely recommend them!

I had these arrive in my BRBB, in all honest truth I had no flippin idea what they were. So I turned to the trusty internet to watch a vid on YouTube but I still didn't fully comprehend how they worked without getting tangled or making a bees nest of my hair because to me they looked like bed springs or springs on a trampoline (as a kid I remember getting my hair caught in those...Eeep!).

I set aside some time to have a play with them, decided that my plan of a attack was to attempt a messy bun & hopefully these little spinners would hold it in place. I put my hair up in a ponytail placing hanging hair around the base of my ponytail, then proceeded to gradually spin the spinners into my hair, they are very quick to use. And to my surprise they were working!! They were holding my hair in place securely & tight, it was magic & so easy!

The second time I used them, I came home from a party and managed to get them all twisted & tangled in my hair so if possible get someone to help as they are a bit hard to remove after a few drinks.

They are a great little invention and unlike bobby pins I haven't lost them YET! :)
