Is This Popular 80s Hair Accessory Making a Comeback?
Do you remember the banana clip from the 80's?
Before the popular claw clip and the butterfly clips from the 90s' there was the beloved banana clip. A banana clip is a concave U-shaped accessory with two plastic sides that come together in the middle with stretchy teeth that hold the hair in place. To use a banana clip for a ponytail, you merely unhinge one end of the clip, the whole thing takes about thirty seconds.
Well the banana clip is making it's comeback so I thought it would be great to do a tutorial.

I LOVE THE BANANA CLIPS I JUST WISH THEY WOULD MAKE THEM LONGER. SOMETHING THAT WILL HOLD ALOT OF HAIR BECAUSE MY HAIR IS LONG AND THICK.
I have long, thick curly hair. My hair always looked more planned/controlled with the banana clip than with any kind of run-of-the-mill pony-tail that I've used since then when I need my hair "up." Where can I find some new (heavy)banana clips (like the one in this post)? There are a few similar things out there, but I try them on my hair, and they are too flimsy. They break right away under the weight of my hair.
