I have rather long, thick hair and sometimes turn them to me with a hot curling iron for a retro hairstyle one. I have to do it for hours before a performance, I needed something to make the lure still hold and because I have read in a book that you should fix terminals with such a lure. these terminals are really very good and perfectly suitable. also the hair-compartments, eg for color or highlights as-treated very well suited, as well as to take a shower, brush, in short, whenever the hair (hair highlights as) must fast from the face.
