Lame Hair Accessory Question

[egeiger]

I am looking for clips that hold straight slippery hair. I always pull it back in a ponytail,  I want to be able to pull it half back / top only, out of my face. The banana style clip I use now leaves marks so once its up, I cant take it back down.

Are there magical clips strong enough to hold it back but gentle enough not to leave marks?  I feel the need to shop online today. 

Thanks for recs!

I use good Bobby pins (specifically these: www.sallybeauty.com/hair/hair-accessories/gold-premium-bob-pins/SBS-792224.html )and then cover those with a cute clip.

Or the Kristen Ess for Target French pin: www.target.com/p/kristin-ess-full-size-french-pin-set-matte-black/-/A-77788525. I haven’t found anything else that works.

Pony-O. I love this thing. It's grippy but doesn't pull, and it holds my hair well. And it makes your pony tail perky! It's great.

ETA: My hair is notorious for holding kinks where regular hair ties hold my hair, but this does not do that.

Smaller spiral hair ties? I use larger ones and they leave no crease for me (everything else does). I haven’t tried a half pony yet but that is mainly because I have no where to go.

I always used barrettes with a metal spring in the back of it. The spring held m6 stick straight hair in place with no marks.

I use the tiny plastic elastic bands. Otherwise, there is no way my hair would stay in a barrette or clip.

I use these:

They aren't as good as they used to be. The claws used to cross past each other and it was way more secure that way. The new ones work ok but I'm really bummed they changed the design. Why?!?

The old ones looked like these smaller ones.  But I need the bigger size for my hair.
