So I wanted some new, fun, cheap(ish) hair toys.
One of the clips I tried slipped out almost before I even got it in!
And then my hair tried to eat a french twist comb. Thankfully I got the comb out before my hair broke it.
Are there other places to get cute cheap toys, like in the style of combs and fakkares, that hair is less likely to eat? I'm thinking Sallys and beauty supply stores (which tend to have a tiny selection of hair toys) might be my only option for the cheap stuff at this rate.
I noticed an add on this site, www.longhairgirl.com and they seem to have some affordable hair toys. I dont know if you have checked it out yet, but im suggesting it lol. I thought they had a lot of pretty toys.
have you tried the dollar tree and dollar stores? I went to this one dollar tree sore and the had a fikkare clip for 1$Quote:

I like Big Lots. They have LOADS of hairtoys at ours around here and sometimes you can find "Karina" which are fairly nice hair clips for half or less off the regular price. CVS carries Karina brand too but at regular price. I find the springs are nice and strong on that brand though and look a little nicer than cheaper brands.
I do not care for Claires or Icing either one and have never found anything that lasted there aside from a few claw clips and of course Scrunchies but you can get them anywhere.
Oh no... thankfully the only sticks I have from Icing are metal, so I can't hurt them. I guess you just have too much hair for Icing hair toys. :shrug: I've found some decent hair toys at CVS, but my hair's probably a tad shorter than yours.
yay biglots!!! they have a whole bin of hair accesories for a dollar or less.Quote:

I also poke around in Longs and Walgreens periodically for clips. There's a Rite Aid too, just across the highway behind my house.
