Banana clips all break at the hinge when I put them in my very thick hair; need help finding heavy duty ones..?

I've purchased dozens of large capacity thick plastic banana clips (not jaw clips or butterfly clips) to hold up my thick heavy hair, but every one of them has broken at the hinge area, most of them first time I ever tried to use them. I have been all over the 'net looking for heavy duty metal ones, but have found nothing. I cannot be the only person who needs these; anyone know a place that sells them? I'm not buying any more of the plastic ones, it's useless. Thanks!!!

Update:

I have claw clips, but they fall down from the weight of my hair . I wanted banana clips because my hair can still hang down out of them like a cascade, kind of, instead of being mashed together like with a claw. I used a claw when I walked my dog yesterday; fell down in two minutes. I don't want to twist my hair or ball it up, I want to just slide it into a banana clip, close it, and let it naturally fall. The look is as important as the function.

    My hair is thick and down to my knees.

    If the clips you're using is breaking, it's time to use claw clips!

    Banana Clips For Thick Hair

  • 1 decade ago

    Claw clips are great for thick hair. My hair is sorta thick, and most clips can't hold it either. At Claire's and Icing they have pretty sturdy claw clips that hold my hair just fine{: They're a bit pricey for one (about $4-$6 depending where you live). Some are made of thick plastic, and there are some that are made out of metal. I only use the thick plastic ones because the metal ones weigh my hair down even more.

    nope reporting is completely pointless any ways. I lost a account on level 7 to and i was just helping someone with a anti-virus question so I'm not sure who or why i offended. I don't report unless its a very bad situation like kiddy porn would be one time where i would report! Like the am i hot, aviator games or anything petty like that i never report on. People are just wanting to have fun. I am actually scared to play those kinda games on polls and surveys cause I'm scared to get violated against and lose an account!
