The Linziclip - bringing the butterfly clip back (or trying to, at least)

Butterfly clips have been out of favour since, well, since I left school really! So, ahem, quite a while then. The Linziclip is trying to change that and bring back the butterfly clip with a clever new design. Not only are the springs hidden (which is supposed to make it more stylish but I'm not sure) it also claims to have solved the biggest problem with butterfly clips of old - the fact that they were falling out of your hair more often than they were holding it in place. How grippy it really is remains to be seen, but at £2.49 it doesn't cost much to find out. Problem is, I'm not sure I even like it. What do you think? Is the Linziclip the start of a new butterfly era, or will it not even make it out of the playground?

I always liked butterfly clamps for creating an effortless up-do quickly and with minimum fuss. The only problem I found were with some designs that had curved prongs that dug into your head, then slid around so they were leaning to the side.
My hair is too short now for clamps, pity.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten how uncomfortable they were! Still like you said, good for quick dos.

If they work then I'm all for them! I love clipping my hair up as it's the only easy way for me to get a poshy do or just something other than a ponytail (or bunches I suppose)! I have such terribly thick hair that not many clips acctually work, so this idea sounds good to me!
