I have thick, long hair and small coral clip works. I have a couple other Ficcare clips and the large work as well. But these clips are so well made even the small size holds tight. Love them. And my older ones still look brand new as well. But I love the elegant shaping and gold hardware on this version! A must-have.
I purchased the ficcarrisimo hair clip a couple of years ago and I just love it, but decided to purchase the Maximas hair clip in pink to put my hair up. I have shoulder length thick fine hair and my medium size ficcarrisimo does not hold all my hair up, but the Maximas does a fantastic job keeping my hair up and staying in place. I am very happy with my purchase.
I have used these clips exclusively for years. They last forever. If you have a lot of thick hair to control they are great. They stay in all day and never loosen.
I have 6 Ficcare hair clips--2 sizes in gold, 3 sizes in black, and 1 in silver--and have replaced several lost ones, so I am a fan. Classic designs crafted with excellence! I use them to pin up my thick, heavy, curly, below-shoulder-length hair into a twist or a bun--including for exercise and dance classes--and have received many compliments and queries as to where purchased. NOTE: Using any hair product that makes my hair shiny but SLIPPERY, such as those with silicone, means that I might need to use 2 smaller clips (looks great!) rather than 1 large one to keep the hair from slipping through. Also, using a hot iron to straighten my hair can make the hair SLIPPERY and harder to hold in place with just one clip if I want to pin it up. In these cases, a light spritz of hairspray before twisting provides just enough "non-slip" for the clip to grip.
