Why did I think that you literally meant don't sleep on them. I was ready to see pics of some disastrous occurrence. I was like is it breakage, bending, matting, what is it girl?


Well I must say I have never tried them but you have definitely convinced me to get a pair. Your hair looks GREAT!

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Your hair is so pretty! Good idea about the banana clips. I haven't worn one since the 80's.

 

[Missi]

I got mine.....lol. It helped get past Shoulder Length: Very cute Ms. D

 

[secretdiamond]

Your hair in the banana clip is the hotness MsDee!!

 

[Kacie]

That is so pretty Ms.Dee. Can you give instructions please, it's so bouncy looking.

 

[KiniKakes]

That style is super cute! I love it!!! Looks like that pony tail is just a-swangin' too!!!!

I had seen 'Nessa (from Bernie Mac show) do a style similar to that, and i had vowed to try out a banana clip myself too. But i'd forgotten all about it til this thread. So thanx for posting this!!!

Hey Ladies,

I love banana clips but I gotta warn ya, back in the day they used to break out your kitchen area. These were a staple for me and lots of my friends in middle school +14 yrs ago..and the clips broke off mine and my friends hair.

Just giving a heads up!

Yeah the lil ball/socket thing will do that if you are not careful. If you wrap it in a piece of satin (I use old sleep caps/du rags in the same color as the comb) really tight and tie it off in a tiny knot it basically eliminates that problem.

 

[Dare~to~Dream]

Cute hairstyle; your hair looks nice...love the Caruso curls.

 

[Lioness]

MsDee that's a really cute style for the summer... thanks for the pix x

 

[Energist]

Very cute! How coincidental, because I was thinking about banana clip just yesterday I was reminiscing over how convenient they were back in the day and how I used to wear em' to death.

 

[so so chic]

That's a really good idea!

Yep, just a lil scrap of the material works PLUS it helps keep the end from snapping open if you have thick hair.

OT
One look at your avatar and I can almost smell the burning!

 

[septemberbaby]

Yeah, I still have a few of these from the 80s. I guess its a good time to break em back out. See, everything eventually comes back in style...

YES! I used to wear these in the 80's as well. I didn't know they were back, let alone sold in stores.

OP: Your hair looks great!

 

[preciousjewel76]

Very pretty!!!

I forgot all about these! I used to love banana clips back in the day. I haven't worn one since I had a Jherri Curl back in the 80's. I'll be making a trip to Walmart on my lunch break this week to pick some up!

Same here. I, too, was a Jherri Curl victim back in the day, and I would sport banana clips on the regular.

Ahhhhh, memories.

 

[sweetcashew]

Your style looks great MsDee. I usually wear these with a stale wash n' go.

 

[Vshanell]

Go to Claires, they have some that dont break easy.

Banana clips bring back memories. When I was in middle school they were very popular. The girls would put their hair in a ponytail and then put the banana clip onerplexed ......I never got that. Anyway, I bought some last year to try with a wash n'go but I took them back. You've inspired me to try again. Your hair looks very pretty too.

 

[*Frisky*]

That is a cute style on you..the curls are nice. I saw a girl the other week with one on and her hair was all straight about APL or a little longer. It was cute too...

 

[tapioca_pudding]

SOOO cute! Cant wait til I get there!

 

[locabouthair]

this is really cute. especially with the curls. i saw in your album that you airdried your hair and it looks great! i really want to try this look but my hair is too thin for it.

 

[gn1g]

Cute! My Dominican neighbor lives by them.

 

[SUPER SWEET]

I like that alot... very cute

 

[Finewine]

Got this from a friend on another site and Love Love Love it...
It's a BANANA CLIP!!!

I simply airdried my hair (using Sylver's scarf method ), put in some Carusos, then the banana clip and Viola!!




Don't sleep on this ladies... it's a great time saver ESPECIALLY when in the middle of a stretch and wearing !!

Thanks for the tip! Your hair looks great! What is Carusos?

 

[Divalicious]

That's a beautiful style!
