When at home I’ve recently been putting my hair up with claw clips. ficcare clips and flexi8 clips with bobby pins of course. It’ really quite enjoyable.
Yo Paul! The claw clips are legit!

Love to know how you keep your curls curly all day when wearing your hair down.
Bobby pins are great, just remember that they work best (and look better) with the “teeth” towards your scalp.

Good points El Monty
