Ebay Hair Accessories Haul | Cheap Hair Accessories Online - Thelifekawaii

Hello again, thanks for watching theLifekawaii., So one of my friends recently commented to me that she felt, like I had the most impressive hair clip collection that she had ever seen. And while I do have probably over fifty in my very small studio apartment here in New York, I did think that will be fun to feature a couple of my favorite ones or ones that I had interesting experiences with.. So I have several several hair clips that I've ordered from different places.. I get them from light in a box, Aliexpress, eBay, Amazon, all kinds of different places and the ones that I'm featuring today are going to be predominantly my ebay, hair clips. And if you haven't shopped on ebay before I just want to give you a quick rundown., You will find a whole bunch of sellers who all sell the same thing.. In fact, they'll almost all have maybe even the same photo.. I don't know how that works, but they'll have 22 to 25 different sellers in different places, selling the same thing with the same photo.. I don't even know how that's legal, but the point I want to make is you have to find sellers who sell something that actually does look like the picture that they present.? So if you haven't shopped on eBay before it's always a little risky, if you're trying a new seller, because you don't know if what they're gon na send, you will even look like the photo of the thing that it is that you want to purchase.. So I have listed all of my hair clips from this video on my blog, with the link to the exact seller that I purchased from and a couple of these I have ordered a couple of times before I actually got what was in the photo.. So all of those sellers are tried and tested and true.. So if you see anything that you like here, make sure that you go with that particular seller and don't blame me if you go with somebody else and you don't get what you wanted. So for the first one I have is this black one. Looks almost identical To the picture of it online, the only difference is, it does have a fabric cover., You can see that.. So this is fabric. This pink part - and I didn't know that when I first ordered it, but it doesn't bother me at all.. I really liked it and I thought maybe there would be glue or something.. I was worried, it might damage my hair, but I haven't had any problems with it and this one is my favorite, because it is the strongest one.. So I will put each of these in just really quickly so that you can see what they look like. And, as you can see, I have a whole bunch of hair. So if it will hold my hair, it will hold your hair. Okay. So it's my sloppy bun there, you go. Here's the side profile and behind, and it's just really strong. It'S a very strong clip. And I can move around doesn't matter if I'm sewing or coding or running all over the place. I think I've even worn it to the gym once or twice when I forgot my ponytail., It stays in it's crazy.. I love it.. So there's that one - and this is like a casual or evening. I think you could pull off. Both just depends on what you're wearing. Now this clip. I also love. It's just a little like a little black plastic clip and has a bow on the center and then the rest of this is like a gathered. It looks like chiffon, I'm sure it's polyester, because I barely paid anything for it.. I think I might have paid two or three dollars for it at most with free shipping, but it looks like chiffon., So it looks very pretty.. Actually, I could wear this tonight when I go out. And this particular one. I have better pictures on my blog, so you can see more clearly what it looks like in my hair when I've actually bothered to fix it. Tada, Okay. Well, it feels like I have a little peep toe up there. So here's the side - and I really like this one., It's very strong too. Not going anywhere, and I love this one I can wear to work.. So I wear it with my like my normal black work dress or something like that and then, if I'm leaving to go out at work, I can put something on nice. I don't have to change my hair, it's already semi dressy and ready to go.. So I love that one., Okay, this one - I do like this one, but I wanted it to work differently than it did., I'm not telling you not to get it. I do like this and I use it, and I think this was the cheapest one.. I think it was less than a dollar., Pretty sure it was like .70 or .80 cents, and I think the shipping on it was free too.. So no reason not to get this one, but I thought that it would be able to just hold my hair and it can't really do that.. So sometimes with clips like this they'll still hold my hair. This one. It'S not strong enough, so you can see it just starts to come out now in the sellers defense. They didn't sell it like that online. They had it styled with a ponytail. So when I wear it, I do wear it like that. Now., Wear it with the ponytail and theirs was they had a really pretty one.? The girl had her ponytail down here and it was curled and it was very pretty.. Obviously I'm not doing that right now, but just so you can see what it looks like. Here. We go. So it's just like a little a little pop of rose that you can put on top of your ponytail. Kind of cute kawaii.. Then you go from the back. And as long as you have the ponytail in you can style it a couple different ways. Like you can braid it twisted around it'll stay for the most part. As long as you have the ponytail in., It's just whatever you want to do so. If I wrap this and then I pin it once or twice, I can usually get it to stay like on the side. Yeah so like that too.. If you have some time in the morning and you want to just ponytail it and then wrap it and then put it in the side you can. It's just up to you. Like I said it was less than a dollar, so I wasn't terribly upset. Okay. So here's one that I did have a bad experience with.. So this clip is very pretty.. It does look exactly like the picture, but the problem is: it is the weakest of everything here.. So this will not hold my hair more than for a few seconds and even right now, with the ponytail in it's still tricky.. So I'll show you with this is with the ponytail., So even with the ponytail in. If I start to move my hair yeah, it just comes right off., It is very flimsy.. I have yet to really have success in finding a way to get this to stay in and I did try doing .... I thought. Maybe if I did a little half updo or something it would stay and that doesn't really work either., So you can have a better idea. Gosh, that's already falling out.. This is kind of what it looks like with the half updo. But yeah it just. It won't. Stay., The only way that I've been able to get this to stay is I I wrap all of my hair, and then I just put this in in the middle just slide it through, and then I have to put push pins all around., Which, in my opinion, Defeats the entire purpose of having a hair clip in the first place.. It'S supposed to be a fast way to make your hair look nice, and this to me is just tedious and long.. If I'm gon na pin my hair like that, I'd rather do like a really nice-looking French twist and just put the pins in and just leave it alone.. I don't want to do all that. Okay, this one. This is my most kawaii one. The strawberry.. So I love this and funny story about. This is a couple of my friends and even my boyfriend have seen this clip and their first initial reaction every time they see it is: oh, that's that's kind of weird. Like they don't dislike it or like it. They just think it's kind of weird and it's a strawberry hair clip., But all three of them whenever they saw it in my hair liked it and one friend who actually kind of made fun of it. The first time now has two., So she has one more than I do.. There is a trick to wearing this though.. So let me see if I can turn so that you can see this actually.. You have to take your hair and put it wherever it is. That you would normally want your ponytail and then start to wrap it.. Then I hold it with my thumb and I pull it over my head like this and then put it in upside down. And start at the bottom and kind of slide it up to the top.. You should be able to feel when it anchors. And then you just flip it over and you can play with it to get it, how you want.. I actually like mine like this, because I like for people to see the entire strawberry and then just have my hair hanging on the side. And if I'm wearing my kawaii Japanime clothing, it makes perfect sense with the look. So it's not weird at all or anything for me.. You can also position it, so it's just like on top of the strawberry, but I don't know why you'd want to do that when you have a totally cute strawberry that no one's gon na get to see.. So I love this one. Highly recommend it.. It comes in like six different colors.. They have a yellow and white one that I've already ordered, because I want to do another video of a hair clip haul in the near future., So yellow one coming soon. But yes, I love this thing. And you can put it over ponytails too if you want, but I I like to use it as a ponytail. Okay. So this is like I call it my little mermaid inspired hair clip.. So the only downfall of this one is that I really did think that it was going to be a little bit bigger than this and they have the measurements listed. But I don't think anyone actually looks at measurements and then pulls out their tape measure and looks to see. Oh, yes, I think this hair clip will be exactly this long.. No, I'm not gon na do that., So I ordered this one. I thought it would be a little bit bigger, but it's still super cute and even though it's made of plastic, it looks like it's made out of shell., So it's really pretty.. It looks kind of like a a semi luxury hair clip design and obviously that one will not hold all my hair, but it will hold a half updo., So you can do a half updo and put your little clip in with that.. I should say too that this clip it's not really gon na work with thick hair at all.. I think, if you have fine hair like I do, it will work much better for you.. So if you have really thick hair or really curly hair, unless you're just gon na pull like a wisp of hair on the side, I wouldn't recommend it. It's for people who have hair similar to mine.. Okay, there we go. This one is like a 1920s fan. Design. Very pretty pearl., So I like this one and actually this was, I believe, one of the more expensive ones.. So I think this was the most expensive and this one was the second most expensive and that's the only one that I didn't like. The ones I like the best were like the cheapest ones that I purchased. Now these last two. These are my get. It done. Get it off my face, get it off my back, just get it all up there and off of me hair clips.. So I put these in when my hair is wet dry straight.. If I let it dry and it's curly and crazy, or even if I put lots of volumizer in it - and it's just like poofed out like a cat mane, these things will hold it. No matter what.. So these clips, if you just need a good standard clip at home to just get all that stuff off of you.. I love. Whenever I'm writing my blog pieces, I will sit at the computer and almost always pull my hair up and in one of these two clips, because it just holds everything.. Look at that sucker. All in there.. I can feel to that. If my hair gets a little bit longer, I can still use this clip.. It'S still going to fit.. So a couple of things to note with this clip I'll put the other one in so you can see it real, quick too.. If you have, if you have long hair, this will work for you.. If you have medium length, hair, don't get these, because you really do. I I can feel when my hair is in this clip that you really do need at least as much hair as I do to get this to stay in.. So if you have fine or thin hair and your hair's like here or a little bit longer, it is not going to work for you. You really do need like 24 inch, hair or longer.Tthe other thing, or I should say the only exception is. I do have a friend who can wear these and she is an African American and she has very, very thick hair.. She literally has a fro and her hair only goes to here, but she can get her hair into these and she likes them too.. So if you have that kind of hair, these will work for you, too. And she wears hers to work and she's a waitress. So she's up and down like crazy. There, you go., So those are my first clips featured all from eBay.. I recommend all of them, except for this one. And if you want to know my two favorites for sure, if you're just going to get one or two, the pink fabric, one and the black fabric, one both awesome., The strawberry. I know not all of you are going to want the strawberry, but those of you that do this is great too, and these are cheap. Go ahead and order two of them. They're, so they're so cute. I just love these., So I hope that you enjoyed this and if you get one, let me know.. Let me know what your hair is like if you like it, if you don't like it, if you found a way to make it work. Somebody try this one and and magically figure out how to get it to stay in your hair without pins., I'm very interested To know, I think, because it is still pretty I'm going to mail it to my mother because she has short hair but like here, so maybe she can find a way to make it work.. Maybe it only works on people who have short hair. I don't know.. So anyways thank you for watching theLifekawaii..
