HELP HELP! Bobby pins/Kirby grips

[KittyT]

http://www.sallyexpress.com/viewProduct.aspx?pid=792020 these ones? If so, they are available over here. Brilliant!

Yes! They are strong and hold their shape, the plastic tips don't fall off, and they don't twist when you open them like a lot of drugstore brands do.

They sound perfect! I will wander up Shaftesbury Avenue tomorrow!

i've got those!
but you have to use a lot if you have thick hair like me.
They're fine for pinning back but for rolls you have to use a fair few

Rolls are so far beyond my capabilities! I just need them to hold my hair off my face.

For years I have used the world's greatest bobby pins (that's kirby grips to us Brits) which came from a Japanese chain called Muji. They were these fantastic Japanese grips made of steel (they rust - no painted coating - just steel like the old-fashioned ones) - designed for super-straight hair, without those annoying little plastic ends, really really powerful and grippy and, crucially with NO WAVES in them - just straight.

Well, I just went back to stock up and they've stopped doing them - just sell normal ones like everyone else. It's a disaster!
So... does anyone know where I can get some really good bobby pins? Please. I am in mourning!

Any advice welcome!

Hi Tottie, I get mine from here....they're textured, strong and have many colours. Film/TV make up artists used them on me. http://www.ukmua.com/homepage/home
