Well one week into the testing and I can already tell that these latest clips (designed by Giddy Giddy and sold by ittybittyladybug.com) are going to be in heavy rotation at our house. Why?
1. They're cute. So cute!
2. The snap clip part is sewn into the felt (completely covered), so it doesn't rip hair out of your precious child's head—even when the clip is brutally yanked out by someone like, say, a twin sister.
3. The clips are small but they're designed to stay put, even on baby-fine hair—and let me just tell you, Giddy Giddy is NOT lying about this. Ro and Ree have the slipperiest hair on the planet, and I think they just might be the roughest girls who have ever tested these clips. (Actually I know they are.) I casually stuck one in Ree's hair last night and sent the girls outside to do their thing, and I'll be danged if that clip didn't stay put for the entire twinado exhibition. I couldn't believe it—something about the felt must just stick to the hair. Want to see the proof? (click the arrow on the far right if you want to speed through the pics)
Oh yeah, kind of hard to argue with that, huh?
Suggestions for improvement:
The adorable flower clips come in pink, red, purple, and orange, and little Miss Ree wondered why the heck they didn't make a yellow one. Pretty good suggestion, if you ask me. Also, I'd love to see even bigger versions of the clips—go hog wild with them, ya know? These clips stay put like they've been glued in place, but with whirling dervish children like mine, you still get some hair that occasionally flips forward from the back of the head and covers the clip. Not a big deal, but a mongo-sized clip would be a nice option to have for the days when I know they'll spend more time upside down than right side up (like preschool days or park days).

Grace's hair grows forward, also, which drives me crazy! I tried to grow out her bangs, but just couldn't do it!! I would love to try these clips...
Oh my goodness, those little flower clips are the cutest ever! Even at 3 1/2, Kylie still has the finest baby hair and if a clip doesn't have some sort of "no slip" grip, you can forget about it! I'd love to try these out ~ checking out the website!
They are sooooo adorable!!! We have a tough time with clips and/or hair staying in place!! We look forward to giving them a try!
Well, I am ALL about hair clips! I buy A LOT of them, my 2 year old LOVES them and so do I! :)
Those multi coloured ones with the little pin heads are just gorgeous!
Jill
Ooh, mama like! Alayna has the same hair as the twinadoes and has been properly trained to request "clippies" for her hair or no outfit is complete. (And I don't do bangs) :)
-Heather
So cute and so fun! Even if we don't win I'm bookmarking the site!
These looks like just what we need! Little Bit's hair falls out of every clip I put in, after just a while. We need something, as growing out bangs is just *so* much fun. Heading over the web site now. Hey, if I win, more clips is always a good thing!
oh my gosh! so cute!I love the stitching around the edges! Thanks for the suggestion
Too cute! Dawn would love these.

Those clips are so cute!!

Cute hair clips!! Need to try them on my daughters hair, she also has very slippery hair!

My daughter just turned 3 and her fine, wispy hair has barely grown past her chin. Whenever she pulls out a clip and there are strands of hair stuck in it I just throw it in the trash because she doesn't have any extra strands to spare! These sound great!
Love the clips and know my grand daughters will love them too.
Wow, they are so cute. I LOVE the panda one too! I need clips that stay put too, I actually just cut bangs back on Kaylee because I was tired of redoing her clip several times a day.
Haven't found a clip yet that will stay in Katie's hair. These are cute as can be and would love to give them a try.

Super Cute!
I love these clips! So cute.
hehe, they look so cute. i hope i win the drawing!
Love the flower clips! Since we don't do bangs in our household, headbands and clips are a necessity!
WOW - you aren't kidding when you call them "twinados"!!
Super cute hair clips!
Little T's hair grows the same way - frustrating to say the least. I always end up putting her hair into a pony tail on top! Clips would be nice but she pulls them out along with hair. I'll check these out.
I'd love to try the clips. We're thinking of growing Kristen's bangs out soon.
Elisa in Cincinnati
I LOVE hair accessories. I purchased a box with sections, kinda like my dad had for his fishing tackle (hahahaha), to keep all my gdaughters hair accessories in. I LOVE HAIR clips.
Blessings, Gail
Well we don't have our little girl just yet but they would surely come in handy when we do. I'm betting our little guy would not want to test them our for his soon to be little sister.
It is great to know a product works before you spend money on it.

These clips are adorable! Lya's hair grows forward as well...but so far it isn't long enough to be a problem. I can't wait until she'll leave a clip in long enough to know how it stands up in her super-slippery hair.
ourlittlespringroll@gmail.com
Pandas, ladybugs and flowers...Oh my!!
These are adorable...my daughter's hair grows forward from her crown as well. I was hoping once it was grown out (bangs are still growing out but almost to her ears now!) that it would magically grow to the sides...guess not!!
We sooooo need these clips! Thanks for sharing!! and once again, thanks for allowing Canadian residents to enter as well!

My sweetie has wild curls, I may let her pick one out to try.
With a 3 year old and twin 6 month old daughters I am always buying hair bows, headbands, etc. These are so cute and if they stay in as well as you say they do, even better! Thanks for the website tip!
I would like to be entered too, please!
love the hair clips and I know they would look so cute on my Goddaughter.
love your blog!
Great review! :o) I will definitely give it a try! :O)
OH, I've never found anything to stay in Ainsley's hair. Those look adorable.
I know my grand daughter would love these. Especially love the name of the company! marlayna
Really cute clips! Look forward to trying them.
Oh, so, so Cute! I wish I had seen these earlier to order for my daughter bday this weekend. The ice cream or cupcake would have looked cute. I'm definately ordering some of these. our daughter hates all the cute bows I bought her, but these would be just enough to hold the hair back but add a splash of color for mom's sake!

These clips are adorable!! I have yet to find clips that don't either slip out of my daughters hair or rip her hair out.
Stace
Count me in for the giveway. I've amazed drawers of various useless hair clips, elastic dodads and whatnots in a futitle attempt to keep back my daughter's poker straight, fine, slippery (although very beautiful). Nothing I've found seems to stand up to the gautlet of sommersaults, running, hanging upside down, climbing sideways, that she seemss to throw at it.
LOVE them!
Our twins have the EXACT same hair issues. Soft, slippery, and it grows straight forward! I'd LOVE to have these in my arsenal!
Thanks M3!
These are totally genius!
I love these-and have the same hair growing forward issue, too. Therefore, AG always has a "hairbow"!
Wow -- great clips. April's hair is also super fine and nothing stays in it. Thanks for the review.
Ilene, mommy to April Lauren, 3.8 years old (and one day to 3.9 years old and a three-year referral anniversary)
ilenesg@earthlink.net
Would love to win for my granddaughter!
Kat
I'd love to try these clips out. My twins' hair is so thin, nothing seems to stay in for them.
Those are VERY cute! Maya's hair is thick..thick..thick and wavy (whodathunk?) and we have a hard time with "baby" clips because of it ... I'd love to see something bigger, too! These would be darling to have, though!
These are SO cute. If the twinadoes can wear them, it's a possibility that Sara and Kelly could wear them too! So far, no luck in finding the perfect clips for their thin and silky hair. Mommy's hair is thick and curly!
Best,
Indiana Lori
These might be the answer to the constant stream of bows and ponytail holders that seem to pop right out of our daughter's hair!
Thanks for offering the giveaway!
Heather
My 2 year old has hair that grows in many strange directions at once! We are always on the hunt for clips that will do the job. The fact these are so stinkin' cute doesn't hurt, either! Count me as impressed! Off to check out their website.
Andrea
amy sooooooooooooooo has the same problem-- her hair gravitates over her face all the time-- love em!!!!!!!!!!!!
We may have to try these. Tova has the slipperiest, finest hair & nothing stays put. Very cute too.
These are super cute!
I'm all about hair clips too. Esther's hair is constantly in her face, but it's too thin to have bangs, so hair clips are a must!
Adorable hair clips! I would love to win some.:-)

Really cute hair clips! I love felt clips and they are not easy to find. I would love to try them out. Thank you!
Mary Pat
mgotway@cox.net
Seriously cute clips and nice variety! Maimie's hair sounds similar to Ro and Ree's. We grew her bangs out for two years only to have her clip them off again...with toenail clippers!! We need to try some of those clips.
Monica
As a mom of a girl who wants to "have hair down to my butt" I could really use these! Thanks for the review.
Count me in for the Canadian perspective! lol
These just may be the thing to get the job done in our house! My 6yr (adopted from China) has not had any luck getting one hair thingy mabob to stay put...
Kim Evans
They are mucho cute and inspire me!!
Keep smilin!
Wow, we love hair clips. These are great. My daughter loves her hair done. victoria
hernandezherd
Those clips are adorable! Glad to hear that they work so well, too.

Very cute hair clips - i would love a chance to try them out
OMG those look GREAT my Emma's haor is still so fine I would love something that actually works!
Too cute, I would love to try them out on my little one
Thanks for your review. My daughter's hair is growing and can get a bit wacky. I was looking for good and sturdy clips that won't come out easily.
Those clips are snazzy! My girls don't have quite enough hair yet, but I'm already keeping my eyes out for clips that will be able to endure the twin-sister-yank-test, and it looks like these fit the bill!
These are adorable, but also funky enough to pass for me almost seven year old (coming home sometime ethis Fall from China). Off to head to the site to check them out more closely!
Loving the new reviews...
Shelley
My daughter's hair grows straight forward too. These clips look great and are very cute!
- sorry - deleted my last comment because I couldn't seem to spell :-(
Oh these are cute! My 7 year old is at the only a pony tail stage. I am soooo tired of it, maybe these would stay in well enough she would make a change. And then there is always the China baby we are waiting and waiting for.
Lyndsey
The clips are really cute especially on your girls. I would love to win them for my niece. If I am the winner, you may contact me at gillenlaw@aol.com.
Thanks! Love your site!
Amy G.
OMIGOSH you mean there are other kids with hair that grow forward over the face too?!! My kiddo has that same problem and I almost always tie it up in a ponytail or two or three or four. I tried clips but most of them fall out because her hair is so smooth -so beautiful but so very very smooth. Would love a chance to win these clips if they survived the Twinadoes test.
Thanks!

Those are SOO cute! I'd love to get some for Sarah! troynrobin@comcast.net
I would love these for my niece! :) They would look so cute attached to her piggytails. :)
Love new hair accessories!
I'm all for clips that will stay put on slippery, shiny hair. We can certainly use clips for our fearsome twosome (4 year old twins) that have 2 year old bro/sis twins. Yes, we have two sets of twins. WooHoo.
Would love to win - contact information is scotty2984@hotmail.com
These clips are cute and if they stay put in your Salsa Sweeties hair, then I'm sure they will stay put in my Diva-in-training's hair. She loves to play with all of her hair pretties. I really like the polka-dotted one!
Cute!! Casey's clips don't usually make it home from daycare. Every once in a while I go through their little drawer and get them back.
I would love to get my hands on some of these for Caroline! I could pick out five in about ten seconds. They are darling!
Entirely way too cute, I would love these for my daughter!! Her hair hangs in her face all of the time and trying to keep regular clips in is such a chore.
chagg12000 at yahoo dot com
adorable! thanks for the chance!
Meg
So super adorable (The clips too!)
My little one also has superfine and slippery hair. I've never heard of these clips...we'll haveto try them out. The idea for bigger ones is great. They do look smallish.
My Jiangxi girl's hair grows straight down from her crown as well and she won't allow ponytails or pigtails! She is a blue fanatic and I hope they have the clips in blue!
I love reading about your girls and your life. Their adventures and photos brighten my day. Trish
Love them! Too cute!!
Taran4ms@comcast.net
Great clips. So hard to find one that stays in place.
Kathy
jkcronauer@comcast.net
My daughter has super fine hair and we have a hard time getting clips to stay in for more than 5 minutes. I'd love to try these.
joannadumas@hotmail.com
These are so cute and they certainly seem to work well. I'll be bookmarking the site :) Please enter me in the contest, wrmailz1@cox.net. Thanks!
These are so adorable! I am headed right over to their shop to see the whole selection! Too cute!!
I'm thinking of growing Caroline's bangs out and those just might help since she complains about regular clips and ponytail holders since they pull on her hair. She also has the thinnest hair (unlike her brother) and only ponytail holders work for any length of time and then they usually start to fall out.
I'm trying to grow out my daughter's bangs and she has very fine, straight hair. Looks like these may actually stay in. I'd love to win before I give in and cut her bangs!
Golly, I love these! And I think my little hairstylista would too. She gets so frustrated when bows slip out of her slippery straight hair - these would be a lifesaver for both of us!
And if I don't win the "hair clip wardrobe," I'm ordering a few - I have several outfits that are calling out for those hair clips!
So cute! My daughter's hair is slippery too!
I have these clips for my daughter and I just adore them! I'm definitely going to use the coupon code to get some more. Thanks for giving me an excuse!
Your girls are the perfect models for these by the way. :)
Emily's hair grows straight into her eyes as well. These clips are adoreable. And if they can hold up with your twins, I'm pretty sold.
:-) Course, your girls make everything look cute!!
I love them...they wuld look great on my girls as well!
I would love to give these a try! Its so hard to find clips that stay in fine hair and I haven't seen any as cute as these!
Rejeana
Love the clips & would LOVE to try them out!! my daughter is soo girly she wont leave the house w/out hair accessories.
italiangal0628 at yahoo dot com
Very cute clips! My daughter's hair simply will NOT grow, and at 5, she still has a little bob. So I am always on the lookout for cute bows, etc.
Tifany
Zoe's hair is the same. I usually have to do piggy tails with a clip to keep it all outta her face. Even then...
Such adorable hair clips! My daughter would absolutely LOVE them!
Jen (jwytzl@yahoo.com)
Too cute! I've been following your site since your referral. I'm still waiting on my first child though we are getting much closer! LID 4-10-06 w/China Getting much closer and could use some of those hair clippies someday.
Thanks, these look great!
Trlfan1 at hotmail.com
Those look like awesome clips -- and I'm in the same boat with you in regards to forward-growing, baby-fine, but gorgeous hair. I'm definitely going to check these out!
mbraun@cfl.rr.com
ooh so adorable
honestly, i would wear them myself ;)
Super cute!
Oh, ditto on the slippery hair. premierdal@aol.com
Would love to win!
Love the clips. If only I could get my little one to leave them in her hair. I'm hoping that will happen soon.
We're part of the slippery hair club, too. I'd love to try a clip that will stay in.
My niece LOVES hair clips! She calls them her "pretties". I think she'd dig these.
kellmck8@msn.com
My daughter's hair also grows straight out from her crown, and we have the same problem of silky, slippery hair. Would love to find a pretty hair clip that lasts through an entire day of play and school! They are very cute.
OH so fun!!!
Please add my name to the drawing.
They are very cute clips, on VERY cute girls!
FUN. . .love these clips!!!
Please add my name to the contest! My daughter would love hairclips like these. Thanks a lot! From,Cathryn (Email cathrynmb at aoL dot com ) Thanks!
Would love to try these on our little ones hair, another little China treasure with hair that grows straight forward.
Now that Lily finally has hair I'm all about the hair accessories! Thanks!
I am addicted to clips! I'll have to try these out- theyare adorable.
Those are so cute! My daughter also has fine slippery hair - I haven't found much that holds!
My youngest also has very fine hair that grows forward too. I am always adjusting her clip through the day. I would love to try these clips.
Martina's growing her bangs out, so she also wears clips every day. And, I'm happy to enter a giveaway because a whole bag of hair supplies somehow fell out of my car today either at Target or in the parking lot at work, because we got to ballet and I couldn't put her hair up. The stuff I'd been carrying around all day in my car was nowhere to be found!
Oh yeah, they are really cute!!! Everything falls out of Lizzie's hair!! These sound great!!!
These are adorable - thanks for doing another great giveaway, Wendy
Oh, we have a couple of these and love them! Great giveaway!
I'm completely addicted to hair clips too! Especially after two boys...it's a serious problem. So I need to win the give-a-way so I can feed my addiction without spending money!
I would love so really cute clips for my sweet niece. Heading to check out the web site now!
Lisa - goldeelox9@yahoo.com
I would love to try out the clips!
Well, those clips sure are cute! My 3 year old has the same slippery shiny forward growing black hair, PLUS we are still outgrowing the 'orphanage cut', so we have a hunk of hair that would either be a massively thick bang, or as in our case, we are growing it out. Cute new clips would be PERFECT!
Have you seen TATE'S wild hair??? She really needs some GIDDY GIDDY hair clips!!! Oh, and they are adorable to boot!!
If Giddy Giddy whats a one year old wild hair gal to try these wonder clips out, send then our way!
Hugs
Lisa and Tate and Mesa
Those clips would work great in Mia's hair. They always fall out.
Thanks
Susan
I could totally use clips like those!
With 2 girls of my own, these would come in mighty handy! My 9-year-old has fine hair that doesn't do anything yet she wants it to be on the longer side, so I'm constantly looking for new and better ways to keep the hair out of her face and looking nice. My 3-year-old has thick long hair and knows to ask for a bow to keep it out of her face.
those are adorable!...
that's one thing I haven't started collecting yet in my 35 month wait... and counting...
hamiltda@hutchtel.net
Very cute! My girls would love them!!
Oh yeah, I'm in! So cute!
Me, me! :) My daughter Sienna at 2 1/2 has never had a haircut (her hair is too beautiful!), and I am constantly experimenting with ways to keep her hair out of her eyes. These look great! :)
These are great...I would love to win.

Clare

So cute! I'd love to try these out on the Bean!
How adorable! Surely your girls will get hair modeling contracts soon. My Squirt also has slippery hair so a new hair goodie would be put to quick use in our house.
Oh so cute!! I'll have to get some the next time we need clips.
Those are super cute- I'd love some for my girls!

We would love to try those in Maylee's hair..she is growing out her bangs & requires clips daily -Fun Fun : )
Katherine saw the pictures of Ro and Ree with their new hair clips and said she wanted some too.
They are so cute! Can I get them in Canada?
kpenny1964@hotmail.com
Super cute clips! I wonder if they work in thick hair like Claire's? Her hair isn't slick at all, but she has a ton.
Keri
I love these! I took these to China and Gracie wore them from day one. They are perfect for very little hair and larger amounts. They are used regularly here. Just watch out for dogs. LOL
Love these! I have 2 girls who could put these to good use.
Those clips are adorable!

I am a HUGE fan of these clips. The designer of the clips is the sister-in-law twice removed of one of my best friends- and so I have had the pleasure of receiving many as a gift. They are hands down the best out there! I love some of new styles! Count me in for a giveaway! :>)

Super cute clips -- I'll have to check them out b/c Nora also has very slippery hair (mostly we do ponies because clips don't last)
adoreable! would love some for my daughter and/or niece!
onyxsparkl@charter.net
Super cute! My daughter has fine hair & is busy too, I would love to try them!!
Adorable! I bought a couple of similar clips at a upscale kids store and I love them.
BTW, my girls have the same kind of hair and since we are trying to grow it long (without bang) I do my best to keep it off their face as well.
I LOVE these clips. They would be perfect for my daughter's hair, as she has the same type of bang issue your girl's have. Thank for the review
Not only are they adorable but they stay in place too? Sign me up!! My baby girl has been said to be 'active and restless.' :o) Sounds like she'll fit in to all the Salsa fun and I'll need to order some Giddy Giddy hair clips in the future...when she grows more hair! :o) (Heeee...what fun to finally KNOW what she looks like when responding to this!!)
Can't wait to try these clips. THey are so cute!!
nhward@carolina.rr.com
Thanks for the review. Clips never stay in my daughter's hair, either. I hope they make larger sizes soon for older little girls.
These are so cute! Thanks for doing a giveaway!
These would be cute on my DDs. They are seventeen months apart, and we must have everything alike (but different colors) even though they are not twins!!
Thanks for doing this giveaway!
Jen
Oh Em Gee! These would be SUPER for Courtney's hair as she now insists that she no longer wants her bangs cut! /sigh Nothing is more annoying than hair in the eyes. And if they stay put like you say, these would be PERFECT for holding those pesky bangs out of the way!
plentiofsunshine@yahoo.com

jkimura07@yahoo.com
What cute clips and yes the girls so need things to keep the hair out of their faces.
So cute! Would love to win them! My little girl is Colombian and has hair exactly like your girls-black, smooth, long, and grows straight forward over her face. Those clips are an awesome find:)
~Nicole
i would challenge you to a thin hair contest with my daughter, I have yet to find any clip that will not slide right out of her hair!
