These are light weight metal clips that are painted with peacocks in different colors. Clips measure about 5 inches long. These are better suited for medium to fine hair. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THESE CLIPS HAVE A RUSTIC TYPE OF PAINT JOB. THERE IS OVER SPRAY AND UNDER SPRAY ON THE SIDES AND BOTTOM OF THE CLIPS. THE TOP OF THE CLIP IS WHERE I FOCUSED ON PAINTING THE BEST.
