I've had problems with some aerosols as well. It's been a while since I've done my pins&nbsp;like that, but I would first spray them on a paper or cloth towel and then put the pin in my hair.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-clips-that-actually-stay-put#post-1256879 Tue, 20 May 2014 23:33:52 +0000 ironkurtin 1256879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K, I'm not going to put hair spray on my hair, too many aerosols etc.&nbsp; Also usually I'm putting it back to work out, and hair spray to work out seems kindof silly.&nbsp; I'm not sure why, actually, but it does. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-clips-that-actually-stay-put#post-1256840 Tue, 20 May 2014 23:09:58 +0000 lyn* 1256840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use the same one Beck uses </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-clips-that-actually-stay-put#post-1256836 Tue, 20 May 2014 23:07:58 +0000 Kristin L 1256836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried hair spraying bobby pins?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-clips-that-actually-stay-put#post-1256741 Tue, 20 May 2014 21:18:23 +0000 rachylou 1256741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this problem big time.

Best clips I have ever, ever had -- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Vidal-Sassoon-Contour-Assorted-Colors/dp/B007OT1OPU">these Vidal Sassoon ones</a> that have a kind of comb arrangement on the back. I found them at my local supermarket in both large and small sizes. The large ones could hold my entire fringe back, which is no mean feat given how much hair I have. Highly recommended! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-clips-that-actually-stay-put#post-1256618 Tue, 20 May 2014 18:53:09 +0000 Astrid 1256618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've still have some Flexi-8s around somewhere, but they never worked that well in my hair. Something <a href="http://www.stone-bridge.co.uk/slim-oval-hair-slide-5091-p.asp" rel="nofollow">similar to these ones</a> usually worked pretty well, because they're not open at one end like bobby pins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-clips-that-actually-stay-put#post-1256614 Tue, 20 May 2014 18:48:43 +0000 MuseumGal 1256614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To keep it out of your face, try stretchy headbands.&nbsp; For decoration, I like Flexi-8s.&nbsp; They do slide, but less severely than other types I've tried.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flexi8.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flexi8.com/</a></p> <p>I'm also a big fan of octopus clips for my very heavy, thick, slick/straight hair. </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-clips-that-actually-stay-put#post-1256601 Tue, 20 May 2014 18:31:18 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1256601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've got the kind that are metal and you bend them to put them in - similar to these I think:<br /> <a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/snap-clips/SBS-424126,default,pd.html#start=16&#038;sz=12" rel="nofollow">http://www.sallybeauty.com/sna.....#038;sz=12</a><br /> I've got them in a bigger size, and I use multiple ones per side - if you put too much hair in them they'll just slide right out.</p> <p>Then there are the regular barrettes with the separate clip, some made for thick hair, but those aren't as unobtrusive.</p> <p>Regular bobby pins, forget about it - they're useless for my hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-clips-that-actually-stay-put#post-1256599 Tue, 20 May 2014 18:26:24 +0000 ironkurtin 1256599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair is at that crazy growing-out length where I can't get it all into a pony and need clips.&nbsp; But I cannot find clips (the flat kind) that stay!&nbsp; They all slide out and it's super embarrassing to shed clips as you go.&nbsp; Anyone else with thick hair have this problem and did you ever find miracle clips that stay put? </p>
