I was skeptical about the tortoise finish looking cheap in person, but it's actually rich and subtle, and the clips stay put through a full workday without a single crease. Even my thick hair doesn't make them pop open.
The tortoise finish looks way more expensive than it is, and I love that they actually hold my hair without leaving those annoying dents after I take them out. I've been reaching for these every single morning since they arrived.
I was skeptical about clips that claim to be creaseless, but these actually hold my hair back firmly without leaving dents after a full workday. The tortoise finish looks like a classier version of my old plain ones, and the grip is just tight enough to stay put without pulling.
