I have lusted after this hairpin for three years, and finally purchased it for myself as a belated holiday gift. I love it, especially how the silver looks against my dark hair! I have thick, shoulder-length hair cut with layers, and it holds it in place perfectly. It's a little tricky to get the technique down for a tight hold, but once you figure it out, it's perfect in every way. Fits under my showercap, too. The only down side is the first day I wore it, it loosened too much and fell out of my hair while I was on a walk onto a sidewalk and got noticeably scratched.
