Hair Utensils Question - Come on in. Pics

[Crackers Phinn]

I'm trying my hand at updo's and fancified buns. So far I've found a couple of items that I'm playing around with. My question is has anyone who has used the following items had any breakage problems from prolonged use. I always see a few hairs in these clips (you can see some in the pics) whenever I take them out and wonder if there's anything to worry about in the long run. I don't sleep with these in my hair.

Thanks in advance.

I think this is called an ibis clip

$1.00 @ the asian bss- no name brand. This is for my bootleg french twist - see the little metal teeth.

$3.00 @ Walgreens. It's made by Goody

I use yur second clip to do buns and updos. I haven't had any breakage so far!! I've been using them for months, and I have yet to see weak spots in my hair. You have to be careful when taking these clips out though. HTH Krissie

I use the 2nd clip as well, and love it...it keeps the hair taut, but doesn't cause breakage!

Like Kristen said you just have to be careful when your taking them out. Also putting them in for that matter. That first pic i have that one but i use it as a hair divider, lol. But it hasn't caused any breakage, though.
