CENTSTAR 8-Pack Flat Hair Clips, Matte Plastic with Lay-Flat Design

Each CENTSTAR clip measures 4.6 x 1.85 x 1.97 inches and has a flat profile designed to sit close to the head. The eight-piece set uses plastic construction, a matte finish, long teeth, and a spring closure, color options listed include cream, beige, brown, dark brown, navy blue, brick red, orange, and black.

That shape is intended to make the clips easier to wear against a car headrest or a high-backed chair than a traditional raised claw clip.

Why it’s worth it

The main distinction is the low-profile design. It can be useful when you want to secure your hair for a drive, desk work, lounging, or another situation where a larger clip pressing against the back of your head would get in the way. The listing also describes the spring and long teeth as providing a firm hold across straight, curly, thick, and thin hair. That makes this set a more versatile styling accessory than buying a clip intended for only one hair texture, although the fit will still depend on how much hair you gather and how you position it.

The matte finish and range of listed colors offer a less glossy look, while the eight-clip format gives you multiple accessories rather than a single clip. Buyers often highlight the flat shape, comfort, grip, and color variety. Feedback on hair-type suitability is mixed, however: some say the clips work well with long, thick hair, while others report difficulty with medium or thick hair. Treat the stated versatility as a starting point, not a guarantee for every hairstyle.

Worth noting

The product is described as a large clip, with dimensions of 4.6 x 1.85 x 1.97 inches. If you usually wear a small barrette or need a discreet clip for a small section, this larger format may not be the style you want. The listing does not specify how the eight colors are distributed in the set, so the color names alone do not establish that every shade is included.

A solid pick if a flatter clip profile and several color options matter more than choosing a single, precisely specified shade. It’s not for you if you need confirmed color quantities or want a fit guarantee for a particular hair thickness, the available feedback is not consistent on that point.

Practical tips

For a driving or sitting situation, position the clip low enough to keep its flat side against your head, then check that the spring is holding the amount of hair you gathered. If you have a lot of hair, try securing a smaller section rather than assuming the clip will hold every style equally well. For a more conventional raised updo, a traditional claw clip may be a better match, this set’s stated advantage is its flatter profile.

Before you decide

Are these clips intended for both thick and thin hair? The listing says they are designed for both, with long teeth and a spring closure. Buyer feedback is mixed, particularly for medium or thick hair, so individual results may differ.

Can they be worn while driving or sitting back? Their flat design is specifically presented for use with car headrests and high-backed chairs, where a taller clip could press against the head.

Does the set include all eight listed colors? The description names eight color options but does not confirm the exact color mix in the package. If a particular shade matters, the listed information does not settle that question.

Should you buy it?

Choose this set if you want multiple matte plastic clips with a low-profile shape for everyday styling, especially when sitting back is part of your routine. Consider a different clip style if you need a traditional raised shape, or if reliable fit for a specific hair thickness is your deciding factor. The strongest reason to choose these is the combination of a flat design and an eight-piece set, the main uncertainty is how securely the clip will suit your individual hair and preferred style.
