I went from long hair to an extreme gamine crop which I maintained for about 14 years. Now I am letting my hair grow back. Unfortunately, when it was short I thought I'd never let it grow again, so I gave away all my hair bands, clips, claws and other long hair miscellany. Thank goodness I didn't part with my brushes--I can't find the same quality brushes now. My hair is approaching my shoulders again and not liking it in my face I began the search for some nice hair claws.I am really glad I found Soul Breeze--I got this one and the small version and they are very stylish--not girly, like most of these kinds of things. I am a woman in my fifties and I don't want anything that looks too precious. I love this claw and the small version too. They are very pretty without veering into girly-land. They feel nice and appear to be high quality hair claws. I highly recommend this brand and style.
