Hair grips

Advantages: Handy, cheap
Disadvantages: None

...basket. It is so annoying and where do they all go?? I probably know, I usually drop a few in different handbags so I have them handy, then if I am wearing them in my hair and decide to take them out I leave them lying around the house or other peoples houses so they get lost, hence why I only have a few left in time. A hair grip is a small thin little slid that grips the hair in place. I use these when I want to put my hair up in a bun or something but don't want anything fancy in my hair. I have lots of fun, sparkly clips that I use as accessories but these grips are actually designed to hide in the hair so you don't see them and it gives the illusion that your hair just naturally falls in place this way. The grips are quite sturdy and hold my hair well, even thick bits of hair that I have decided to put up. They are a light brown colour so...

Review of Marks & Spencer 34 Hair Grips

Advantages: Good for storing food, completely airtight
Disadvantages: Clips may be hard for some people to open. Not the cheapest.

They are made of see-through plastic with a blue strip round the edge. And what really sets them apart from other plastic storage containers is that on each side of the container is a special clip that securely fastens the lid to the main container.

Review of Addis Clip Storage Containers

Pretty clips to suit any age

Advantages: look pretty
Disadvantages: the colour has dulled over time

...I have been using Lady Jane hair products for over 40 years and when it was my wedding I wanted something a little special to sit in my hair. I am too old for a veil or a tiara so I chose some little diamante hair clips from Lady Jane. A little sparkle I spent quite a lot of time deliberating over what pins to buy, I wanted something that would make me look younger but sophisticated. Cost I bought two clips in a packet for £5.99. Staying power The pins are silver coloured and quite shiny. With time, this has dulled a little but they still look in good condition. At the end of the clips, there are some little silver coloured mounts that hold the diamantes in place. The clips were very attractive and had eight little diamante stones set in a small flower shape. All the stones are still stuck in well and I have...
