Cameo Bobby Spinners Review

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

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!

Another awesome vault goodie I snagged. I was a little bit sceptical on how these would work but I shall eat my words. I drive my poor partner to spare with my thousands of bobby pins lying all over the house marking my territory. I have long hair half way down my back lots of it but quite fine tending towards a touch fluffy and flyaways so I always require a thousand bobby pins to achieve what I want.

At the moment I have been tending towards throwing my hair up in a quick bun as it’s just easier to manage especially at work so cue the bobby spinners.

Take the open end and hold the other end and literally just turn clockwise into your hair. It felt a bit weird for sure but 3 of these later and my hair is held securely. They really do have super human strength my hair did not move at all !!... it’s some impressive holding power.

I did still need to use bobby pins for any flyaways - but these bad boys held my hair style all day no sign of movement.

Getting these out was a bit different you do kind of have to fish around your hair a bit but just turn them anti clockwise to get them out and waa laa.

I got these in dark brown, I don’t think the colour really matters they are kind of hidden in your hair but I will be going to get some more for sure. Revolutionary !

These are so fantastic! I received mine in the BRBB and thought, what the heck are these... no way they will hold my hair but sure enough, it holds everything in place and it doesn't move a. it!!! I fell really confident usingnthe spinners because everything is held secure and tight. I love that you screw it in and out, kinda weird but perfect! I really like how its not a chore to get them out and you don't have to worry about losing a zillion bobby pins in your hair and finding them on your pillow the next morning!

When I saw these in the BRBB I didn't quite know what to think. I have long-ish blonde (coloured) thin hair, and I don't get particularly creative with my looks. It is either a ponytail or down and straight. On the odd special occasion it gets curled but that is about it. So seeing these spirally 'spinners' scared me to start out with... what sort of knots will I get my hair into with these!

The spinners themselves are just metal spirals. They come in different colours to match your hair colour, mine being blonde. My favourite thing is that although they are not completely solid you don't get that problem of them opening out like you do with bobby pins.

I have found these great for putting my hair up in a bun or in a french twist. Just turn them clockwise and they slip in. I like that they don't make my hair feel really tight against my scalp when wearing an up-do. These keep my hair in place all day and come out of my hair without creating any knots. My only fear with these is losing them! I hope they don't disappear as easily as bobby pins do.

I was fortunate enough to receive a pack of these in March Beauty Box. As my hair is short I had no personal need for these but with two granddaughters, both with long hair, I couldn't wait to try them out. After a couple of minutes of figuring out the best way to hide them discreetly, we tucked them into a bun and they were remarkable. Completely hidden, hairstyle in place for the better part of the day, and two very happy littlies! I would definitely recommend them to any one with long hair!

I have silky hair and the strands are fine, so my hair doesn't hold bobby pins, hair bands, head bands etc very well. They always fall out. I tried making hair buns a lot of times, but needed almost 25 bobby pins to keep them in place which always resulted in headaches. When I received these spinners in the BRBB, I was very sure that they won't work. Still I made a hair bun using them and I was surprised to see the bun stayed in place for 6 hours! In fact, they were perfectly placed until I decided to remove them. And to top that, it was the most best looking hair bun I have ever made.

They are incredibly simple to use and take out as well. They are also comfortable to wear and doesn't pull hair tight. All in all, easy to use and stylish to wear. One won't regret purchasing it ever!

I received these in my March BRBB and when I first saw them I had absolutely no idea what the heck they were! Obviously by the packaging they were hair thingys, but for what?!

So after reading the back, doing a bit of googling I figured out how to try them. Essentially they're spiral bobby pins; they come in a pack of 3, they're incredibly strong (you can't bend them), and you use them for up-dos by spinning them into your hair.

My first attempt was not entirely successful, but after trying again I managed a gorgeous bun with little effort. I have a LOT of hair, and it's quite long so I was really pleased to see that the 3 pins held it up all day without any problems.

Definitely something I will use again and again, although at $5 a 3 pack, I hope I don't lose them at the same rate I lose bobby pins, so it's something I'll keep an eye out and purchase when on sale.

These are strong. I haven't mastered anything other then a bun but I'm sure someone more creative then myself would! I wouldn't use them on a day to day basis but the other day my hair tie broke and the did the trick!
