Anyone have any that they have had hanging around for ages? I have had the same one since the 6th grade, and it just occurred to me that I would like a few more. :D
Cash or Trade
Thanx

I'm not much help, but I saw one at a Claire's the other day! :D
One of the better things to come out of the '80s.

How do you wear them? They seem too wide to be able to contain hair securely....

I second redbark's question. I had one of these years ago, and I was never able to get it to stay in place for more than 10 seconds.

Hey katharine and redbark! They seem to work best on fairly thick, specifically curly hair. I know that someone else had posted this and I noticed that on a former thread that the only gals who could tollerate the thing had such hair. If it's any consolation...when I take it out, although I love the look during the day...my hair feels like it's been pulled as though it's been on the rack! So..I wear it only for brief periods. HTH clear things up. :)

Sorry....hijack over. ;)

I buy mine at Wal Mart & K Mart. Not much variety in the way of colors... but then, my hair always totally covers them up when I wear them anyway so colors don't matter to me. :p

OK! I am a very rural person, so going to the mall is out for me. I think I have been once in the last 5 years? :D I am so glad to have made an awesome trade for a whole pile of Banana clips! :D Thank you so much Frizzinator! I put one in as soon as I got the box and wore it all day and then all night :D I should have rockin' big body to it today!
