Cameo Bobby Spinners Review

Like many, when I saw these in my March Beauty Review Beauty Box I wondered what on earth they were for - and whether they'd be effective.

I throw my hair up into messy buns at the weekend and tidy ones for work sometimes, and because my hair is childlike (ie fine, soft, and misbehaves if it's grumpy) I didn't hold out much hope, but the Cameo Bobby Spinners are like the 'Hair Nanny'. Once they are in (which is a cinch one you get the knack of twisting them in at the right angle) then they are IN. All day, all night if you want them to be! They actually require more effort to extract than insert, which can be annoying at times but it's worth it for not having to constantly remove and replace during the day.

The dark brown colour tones in perfectly with my hair and the size is perfect for buns - though I'd want a finer set for hair-wrapped ponytails etc.

They only cost a few dollars and they work - definitely worth a try for women who like to wear their hair up but also great practical applications for ballet, sport etc!

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

Ok so when I saw these in the March BRBB it had me looking and thinking what the heck are these what? How? Why? I don't know if I should admit this but it was my partner who looked at them and said "looks like you just screw them in" ahh penny drop moment.

So I made my hair into a bun and twisted all 3 of the spinners into my hair. I waited for my hair to start falling down but nothing it sat perfectly still. it stayed like this all day I was slightly surprised that 3 little screw looking things would hold my hair into place. I normally use 32148 bobby pins and I normally lose all of them I like how these are bigger so they won't get lost. I still have all 3 and I have used them regularly since March. I really need to buy more as a back up they don't pull your hair like some bobby pins can. I was slightly worried about removing them I thought they would get stuck in my hair and I would have a nice big birds nest but no you just twist them anti clockwise and they come out easily no tangles nothing. I'm so glad these were in the beauty box i have never seen these in a shop before but now I will be making an effort to find them with myself and 2 little girls in the house these are perfect.

On a bit of cardboard are three stretched to pronged weird looking hair spinners, very unlike a bobby pin but the same principle pop them in and your hair stays put. A lover of bobby pins so if these work and do what they say I'm in. I was a little nervous of putting these spinners in my hair as what goes in has to come out and I've made many a knotty mess before. So a wee ponytail twist and twist a spinner in clockwise and my hair stays put, so in with all three. I made a messy bun thing and these held my hair all day they didn't fall out they just stayed all day and not a tight hold but a good hold. Removal time just twist in the opposite direction and out they came no knots or getting stuck or crying and having a matted mess. I'm hooked they do have a really good hold on my hair, nice to put my hair up without hair ties, that do weaken and break my hair. These are great and I've only lost one so far these are cheap and easy to use and do a great job. For me these will be on the repurchase list as I need more.

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.

I got the spinners as part of the beauty box. If they hadn't been in there I don't think I would have tried this product as it appears to be a bit gimmicky. However, I gave them a go today and they seemed to work fine at holding my hair up in a bun. Taking them out was a problem however, as they had tangled together, I had to get a friend to remove them for me. In the future I will make sure they do not twist into each other when I use them. They did what they said they would and held my hair up better than bobbie pins would have. Don't expect any super structured hairdo to stay with the spinners, but they worked fine for a loose, last minute, bun

A cute idea. Spinners that are brown. They screw in like a corkscrew or a apple corer lol. it's a ingenious idea. Which works really good and holds the hair in place. Without any shift. I would have never know about these but am glad that they came in our BRBBOX.

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 seemed very interesting when I first looked into them. I have rather long curly hair and these are now a bit of a must have for one main reason. Stability... I can pop my hair in a quick bun and add one of these and it won't fall out. Why is this important you ask? I ride a motorbike and the last thing I want is my hair coming out and becoming nastily tangled and gross for the remainder of my ride (which has happened before) and with one of these I've never been let down. Love them and use them whenever I want my hair to stay where I've put it.

These were an item i received in the last beauty box, and i have to admit, i was a little confused by them. I had never seen bobby pins like this, and pushed them to the side, and focused on my other goodies.

It wasn't until i was doing my hair one day, with a donut bun that i was in desperate need of bobby pins and of course, i had none available (isnt that every ones story). These were all i had, so i played around with them and twisted them into my hair.

Firstly, it is so easy to twist this into your hair, and they are easy enough to twist far enough so that your hair covers all traces of the spinner. I only needed these three spinners,and one other bobby pin to fully secure my bun, which lasted all day! This is saying alot, because my hair is thick, long and heavy, and i can easily use 10 or more bobby pins in my hair.

The only negative i have over these spinners is the fact i find them harder to remove than normal bobby pins. Its not impossible, its just a bit more time consuming to unwind the spinner out of my hair. However, i would still buy these and use these again in a heart beat because they are effective, and you don't need many to create the hairstyle i want.
