I like Lady Bear will use them periodically to hold bangs back while I am in lab. Some barrettes make creases in my hair that I don't want to walk around with all day.
Mostly though I use them to hold my hair up if I am doing an entire up-do or a half up-do. The tend to hold much better than barrettes. Plus they are much cheaper. Can't beat 99 of the lil suckers for a dollar, and then if I lose them I don't care nearly as much.
I do have to say some girls use them to the extreme! Gah they use like 5 of them all in a row, one right after the other...that is weird and tacky to me.
