I just received these so I can't speak to the durability. They feel like they should last, not thin plastic, but thick good quality. I have medium long, thick, thick hair and these hold my hair in place. I got the large size in the coral set. The colors are beautiful and appear as I expected them too. I was however surprised by the feeling of the clips, by the fact that they are clearly just painted. I hope the paint doesn't wear away. The springs are even painted. On the light grey clip there is a slight imperfection that honestly looks like a piece of a paint brush, but I don't think it is, because these appear to be painted with a spray paint as there are no brush strokes. Overall I like these clips, just really hoping the paint doesn't chip away because their color is so pretty.
