OH my God! I just found my old banana clip. It would be totally gnarly if they came back in style with much of the other 80's styles. I think I will wear it out of the house and see what my 15 year old daughter has to say.

I wore a banana clip to an 80's theme party last month and I liked it so much I've started wearing it in my regular life. I love it and I'm not ashamed - c'mon people bring back the banana clip!!

I had them in EVERY color even with fake diamonds in the sides. I would even change up the look and sometimes wear the pony to the side OOOOH. I think I still have blue one left, no I don't wear it. Not to sure why I still keep it though???

These were soooo cool. I had a light blue one.

I also had on in every colour to match everything I wore. I also had big permed layered hair that fit nicely into it. I don't think I would want that again, but it made for a fast hairdo.

I loved wearing banana clips! I just now realized they aren't in style anymore. Gawd those things were awesome!

I used to wear banana clips all the time. Now getting my 80's costume together for Halloween I fine one of my original banana clips that I think I might just wear for the memories more than the fun!

Ahhh? What is wrong with the banana clip? I think that was one of the best inventions of the 80's. As long as you wore them vertically and not horizontally, you were "Way Rad"! I still wear them because they make my hair look full and unlike a ponytail put up with a rubber band, you can take your hair out of this clip and it doesn't make your hair look like it has been tied up all day...A couple of "Bay Watch Girls" hair flips and you're good to go out on the town. Another thing, it made us all look like Julia Roberts in Steel Magnolias! Why do you think it's a classic! All bow to the banana clip!

I still rock a banana clip! I think that it makes a really wicked looking faux-hawk, [[FYI-that's a hair style that looks like a mohawk but doesn't require the shaving of the head]].

I wore a banana clip...to the side...on prom. I didn't go to the prom but we dropped everyone off and partied at the hotel! [IMG]http://i8.tinypic.com/86txlsh.jpg[/IMG]

yep. had a few of these!

I still wear a banana clip. It is the best thing that happened to my hair. What is old always come around. I am african american and have natural long thick hair, the banana clip provides a nice hairstyle.

I wore a faux jewel studded banana clip to my prom. I looked ridiculous.

I still have 3 of mine...lol..

I have My Lime green Pair still.

Help!!!!! I cant find any heavy duty banana clips.

They still sell them , I just bought a few a couple of months ago.

I think they have them on display at the Smithsonian next to Fonzie's leather jacket! LOL!

I have long hair and love banana clips, they come in any color, and they make your hair look full and awesome, my mom uses them in her hair also, some good stuff NEVER out of style.

Does anyone know where you can buy these at,besides ebay?

i sometimes wear leg warmers to school just cause i love the 80's. there are some people who go to my school that has an 80's theme to them.

I think goody still maes/sells these. I liked them but because don't have thick curly hair (slightly wavy/fine hair) I could never get them to stay in-plus I'd end up with a headache.

ok now im jellon (jelous) i wish i lived in the 80's i cant believe i just said that!!!

I took my grandmas and I wear them to school. A lot of the girls at school wear it now. DARN YOU! Just kidding. I say that they are coming back in style. Just one thing, don't wear them if you have long straight hair. It looks dumb and ugly.

I had some of these when I was little bitty (the Eighties were still hanging on in the early Nineties I guess. It seems so weird to talk about the Nineties...they weren't that long ago! I'm too young to feel old like this! Stop! Stop!). But I never used them. I wonder if I still have them? I gonna go look...

Who decides what is going to be in fashion? Over-paid designers? It looks as if most of the people who posted on this site agreed the banana clips were awesome and they are right! I too loved the banana clips. They have a larger clip in stores today mimicking the style of the old banana clip but it just doesn’t work as well. I found our banana clips for sale on the posted website for a $1.59 in all colors. I loved mine so much I plan on ordering me some and wearing them. (They even take Paypal-which I love!) Apparently everybody else loves them too, so really who could talk about them… and if they do, who cares? Enjoy your day ladies! Google banana clip

well, they're BACK IN :D im 16 and everyone wears them at my school

i bought a pack at the dollar store! trying to figure out how to updo my daughters inverted bob for prom!!! we laughed all night long!! the best $1 ever spent!

Lived the 80's, Loved the 80's... I must say, I haven't seen anyone rockin' the banana clip... I think I saw them in Target though. I have to ask, to the young lady who said they're wearing them in SCHOOL -- GIRL, ARE YOU FOR REAL???!! I frickin' love it! :oD

I love em now. Don't remember them in the 80's but found out about them about 5 years ago and they are the best. What's the difference in this and a pony tail? Can't find the smaller ones though which I like better. Hope I can as mine are getting worn out.

Are all of you nuts; lost your minds? Was your banana clip in too tight causing minor, or in this case, major head trauma? What's next; acid washed jeans? Please, some things are best laid to rest, like the banana clip and feathered bangs.

thanks for the link!

I wore these all the time and you can still find them in some stores even now...i wouldnt wear then now tho...but adored them back then

I'm buying one and I'm wearing it!! I loved them in the 80's. No reason to follow a trend; make the trend come back!!!

I found a couple in my drawer from decades ago. I liked making them talk like a mouth. I have long curly hair and these are great for working out in or on warm days. (I'm old, and a regular ponytail just looks wrong on me.) I bought something similar at walmart and they broke, but they were shorter and fatter. Asked in a beauty supply shop and they never had seen them. So i found some on ebay but not sure if they're the quality ones or the brittle ones that break too easily.

I didn't really know when they were in fashion (the ignorance of youth) but I have about 4 in different colours which i alternate and wear a lot (mainly to school). I tend to wear them looser (not verticle) and I quite like how they gradually fall down. They're also useful to quickly comb your fringe!

banana clips kick itt. dont care what u say/think.

love em! still wear em! they sell them @ claires the icing, sally beauty supply...everywhere!!!!!!

LOL I remember wearing these when I was a little girl in the 80's. I loved wearing them and I am so glad that they are back!

The clip I loved was a 2 piece banana clip. Remember those? With larger teeth than the regular banana clips. I found one at Walgreens but it's not good quality. Anyone know what I'm talking about and know if they still sell these? I'm going to try Claire's...

OMG, the 2 piece!!! I've been looking everywhere for one! I have very long, very thick, curly hair and these little plastic jobs just can not cut it in my mop. If anyone can tell me where to find the 2-piece, PLEASE, POST THE INFO!!!! =D

OH MY goodness I can't believe this site! I was just looking for a place I could buy banana clips and here I am. The 80's? Heck I have my banana clip in now! Love it and it keeps my hair off my neck without having to have a pony tail.

Loved them in the 80's; needed new ones to ride my Harley.....just ordered 6 new ones, love them and will not give them up.....

Would like to find the short ones. I can only find the big long ones. They stick up to high. Anyone know where the get the short ones? They are about 4 inches long.

Banana clips rock!

My mom saved some from her teenage years! She gave me a black one and a clear-ish one, and I wear them. My friends think they are SO COOL. Rock the banana clip!

OK, I'm not going to lie... I bought a 3 pack of these yesterday! I am 21 and had never seen a banana clip before until a girl in one of my college classes this semester wore one. It looked so cool on her! It made her hair stick out awesomely. It looks less cool on me because I have long, fine hair. I had no idea that these things had a name and a history, haha. I just found out now and I'm cracking up!

had them in the 90s when i was super young. Don't know if its cause they were still popular or they were my mom

I loved them but I could never get them to stay in my hair, I think they are made for thicker hair! It's cool that you can still buy them!

i'm 17 and i have a really nice curl and i wear banana clips all the time to the side with side bangs everyone always tell me how do you do your hair and most people don't even know what a banna clip is lol and tell me how cool it looks but i started wearing them because about 3 yrs ago i think im not sure in mexico they got really popular again and i think they look great and i've been wearing them since then my skinny jeans banna clip and really pink lipstick lol it's not the average everyday look but i like it ♥♥

CoverYourHair.com has these hot banana clips. They are the absolute cheapest I found on the web. Skim through the website, they have the old time and new time stuff! Luv it!

I still sell them in my shop in mansfield ng18 1ss sell them for every day wear £1.50 to £2.00 or I custom them for weddings ect

I've gotta be honest, I'm only 20 and I love wearing them, too! Whoever said they look dumb and ugly with long straight hair is wrong. my hair is way too thick for a normal ponytail, but the banana clip lets me pull my hair back AND stay at an attractive length. I wish I could find a more heavy-duty one! The only ones I can find are almost too small to hold all my hair.

You can still find them at most stores - a lot of time Big Lots has them cheap, and Wal-Mart usually has them too. I did had really long, thick hair, and these were great if I wanted to wear it "down", but out of my face.

i didnt realize these were from the 80s! i grew up having them in the drawer with all the hair ties and headbands but i never made that connection

I think they're so hideous! Hated them then (they never held up my super thick straight hair) and hate them more now...

come from australia, banana clips are still populr there. was so thrilled to find them here. LOVE THEM

I had a couple with a fabric (ribbon) on the sides. Loved them. My hair is long again and looked high and low for them; nothing in the stores. Found a couple at the street fair in Palm Desert last year. Since then found a variety of colors online and ordered them. Have had a couple of friends ask where I get them. Setting a new trend at the Country Club!

The cheesy banana clips available almost everywhere are nowhere nearly as functional as the basic clips that had loops of ribbon wired to them back in the 80's. Those are the REAL banana clips that become invisible when used for making awesome up-dos. Yes I wear the only one I have (sans ribbon) practically daily. But this pliable plastic style with the secure interlocking hook closer must be extinct. None of the sites mentioned I have seen has anything like them. I live in fear of losing this one and have been desperately searching for replacement stock. But alas, Goodys wide hard plastic one breaks too easily and the wimpy hook will not stay closed. And that long Lt. La Forge VISOR glasses variety that pops open at either end is useless except for fauxhawks. Does ANYONE know where to find the REAL banana clips??

I wish I could find a GOOD bana clip with ribbon!

I have a white one that I wear.

they sucked then, they suck now... they will NEVER come back into style. better find another hair style!

my friend and i just bought some banana clips from the 99 cent store and we plan on bringin them back into style! hhaha. im wearing one as im typing this!we DO live in super-hip brooklyn so who knows...

I have been totally wanting these for the longest time!! I cant wait to put my long hair up in them. I found Scunci brand, at my grocery store, theyre great!

the pull back ponytail and hump styles they wear now a days are just like the way a banana clip holds your hair...so the hair style is in..but the clip isn't?..comon people...if it looks good..WORK IT

Lets win our land back! http://www.resist.com/

i love the banana clip i wear mine all the time good thing they are coming bnack in style .

It's 90 degrees in chicago land today. I have got my opaque pink banana clip securely in place right now. I can take the heat.

I asked my Dad, who raised my sister's in the 80s, what he thought of when I said 'banana clips'. I thought he'd tell me about my sister's crazy hairstyles. He said 'machine guns'. My Dad was a Marine until I was born.

where can i buy banana clips these days? other then on the net??

I lost my last banana clip from 1986 last week and I am lost without it. I have been wearing mine since 86 when I purchased the first one. I was searching on the internet trying to find another one and came on this sight. Banana clip babes rock.

Name me one person who didn't have at least one of these

Banana clips are the bomb.. i still wear mine (even though the dog chewed on it) Cant seem to find the long clips that only open on one end. The one's that open on both ends dont work in my very long curly hair. I think they should bring them back into style as this is one way of keeping unruly hair looking neat..

Love them. Have long curly hair and it is the best for styling. I never know it is 'out' but it worked for me so used most days. I wish I could find them in various colors again. I still have a few and just got two from a friend who got from Europe.

i just bought one of these from diamonds and pearls for £1.50!! i think they are great as i have thick curly hair and they give you a cool puff. I am hoping to make them popular at my high skool!

I just picked up a few of the cheap-o banana clips from Walmart the other day, and was wondering if people were looking at me like I was "weird" or "stuck in the 80's", because I also have really nice shoulder length curly hair and get tired of the same 'ole same 'ole style, so I'm using my clip and and SO Happy to hear from others who are too! Thanks for your recent posts!!

Looking to order the banana clip that is to separate sections that lock togeter. Any one with info where to buy?

I LOVE the banana clips! The two that I have are my mother's who had them before she had ME! These things are never out of style in my opinion, they're so nice to people with thick, curly hair! I love them so much. ♥

Hey--I too LOVE the banana clip and yes ladies, they ARE still available! I got a 2-pak from Sally's Beauty Supply, I also saw them at Target but they were the shorter one and I need the long ones. You can also find them online. I've never been one to give a hoot as to what is "in & out". I wear what I want--when I want to wear it. I like them to pull my hair back when I'm working out or cleaning. I only stopped wearing them because I cut my hair real short and had it that way for a few years. And by the way--some posted that they couldn't be used on black hair---not true! I am black and use it on mine. I think we have to all stop generalizing. Just as all caucasians don't have the same hair type, neither to black people but a lot of black people seem to think we all do! Get to know your OWN hair and don't think that because something doesn't work for you that it won't work for others and vice versa! That actually is true for everyone because some others have posted they think the banana clips suck because they didn't work on their hair. When will we learn--not everything is for everybody but stop trying to discourage others just because something doesn't work for you! OK--I'm done now--sorry!

I am wearing a banana clip now, have had it since the 80's have this one & a clear one but since my hair is thinned out I am looking for the "Scunci" brand as they have some way of keeping things in your thinning hair. mine has thinned for thyroid reasons as well as age. drat!mine are two piece ones

I wear a banana clip everyday!!!:) i luv em

I also wear a banana clip everyday with a hump in the front of my hair. throw on my makeup.. instant FAB...

I love using banana clips! I use them because I hate how my hair looks after I take it down from a pony tail. It's also much quicker to use a banana clip. I'm African-American and my hair is very thick. This is a great alternative to a pony tail which can lead to hair breakage.

I am a runner and wear banana clips every day. They must be very flattering because I have been told I look like Julia Roberts when I wear them and I'm in my fifties! I just lost my last one yesterday and called the Supersave Loblaws store in Ontario and they don't sell them anymore! They were the only store in my city that sold them. Does anyone know where I can buy a dozen black ones in Ontario, Canada?

I just bought banana combs today-- I have been looking everywhere for them and finally found them!! I got six in a package for $3.19!! I am 53 years old, have worn banana combs for years until I lost all my hair to chemo. Now that I have long hair again, I am thrilled to find them! My kids will say I am "so eighties", but that's ok-- I'm proud of it!

i.ve been looking for bannana clips i just love them the more we wear them the moe shops will get them back in great way to put your hair up and it stays in I JUST LOVE THEM ,

I am an 80's baby and i love my banana clips. I am an african american with thick hair and whenever i feel like putting my hair up i grab my banana clip. Wether they say they are in style or not i still rock mine.

Loved these things in the 80's and still do today... i have long thick curly hair and it is way better than a pony tail, i have lost my last remaining loved clip.. have bought a few in the stores but they are smaller and break.. can't hold my amount of hair... any suggestions on where i can find the big ONE piece design ??

I remember girls in the mid-80s using these to give a mohawk effect to their hair without having to shave any of their hair off. They'd use the clip to gather all their hair into a longitudinal crest of hair down the center of their skull, pulling the sides up smooth and tight, then teasing and spraying the mass of the hair up while still leaving it much more natural-looking than a mohawk would have been.

I recently brought a banana clip. I have medium length straight hair. And let me tell you, it looks awesome when you tease up the hair into a faux-hawk! Go banana clip!

I still have these, and still find them at dollar stores. My mini horse uses one when I band his mane.

I was in a party store today, and I saw BANANA CLIPS! they have all sorts of colours. Banana clips will always be a part of me, because they are so much easier than scrunchies. lets bring back the banana clip trends! This clip looks great on all types of hair too!

I've been looking for the "original" too !still hve mine from the 80's. please someone out there post if any found.The one's on E-bay's break very easy. Help! Bring them back!!!!!!!!

STILL wearing mine at 56, did find the ones I love (2 flat sides w/Very short teeth) at 'banana clip store dot com'.

iv just always wanted one !! ilove them !! my mum use to hve one but she lost them ages ago nd i just realy want sum but dont no were to buy them ?? any advise ??

I always wore the banana clip.. wish I could find them.I had them in every color then decided to cut all my hair off,and now its growing again..lol my friend found one and gave it to me,just want to get more and bring back that eighties style..

I too had colors to match everything I wore...went short and sold them all, and I'm talking at least a dozen of them, at a rummage sale. Now hair is great length for them again and the "fake" ones you can find now just don't hold your hair like those simple plastic of many colors...wish I could find the 6" ones again...I'd buy a bunch.

OMG I can't believe people are wearing these now! Gross. That's just out of style.

I just bought some on myheadcoveringscom. They started at 99 cents and went up to like 2.50. They shipping and handling was 1.99 for 2 - 5 business days

omg lol , i had these in a few colors , and yes i rocked it on the side too lol

I have very curly hair and LOVE banana clips. They make my curls flow down the back in a beautiful, curly cascade. I had the cheap Scunci things they sell at Wal Mart. I just googled "banana hair clips" and found LOTS of place that still sell them online, including Amazon and eBay stores. I'm going to buy several of them. They are one of the best inventions ever for showing off curly hair.

Just got some banana clips from ebay and they r not good. They broke the first time I wore them. They won't stay in my hair they just pop apart. What happen to the good ones from the 80s did they forget how to make them?

I just bought some at my local dollar store. They are the big ones, and I got one in every color they had. They seem to be just like the ones from back in the 80s; not flimsy or weak. I caused a sensation when I started wearing them to work. Everyone asked where I got them.

I missed my bananna clips so much and yes I am an 80's chicky! Best movie and music! The Breakfast Club a classic! Pretty in Pink! About Last Night! St Elmos Fire! great times, great music Bon Jovi!! big hair days lol.. yup love them bananna clips! BTW- if your hair is a bit thin the bananna clips make your hair look fuller when you put them together they stay in!! unlike these ones in the stores you buy that are attached at the bottom and never stays in your hair!! Love the 80's lol!! Good luck finding them at a local store anywhere... online is only place I found them and not as good as original ones.. 80's rule!!

I have thick, curly hair and consider the '80s 'my decade', so never stopped wearing them, especially for work. They are impossible to find in Australia, I bought my recent ones in England 18 mnths ago. You can follow fashion, or you can create your own style, the choice is yours.

Every girl had to have these in her aresnal of hair accessories. Super cute & conveinant!

please help me find a large banana clips I cut my hair few years ago and know growing it again but can not find any in Brisbane Australia.

The open ended clips for the curly hair can be found at bananaclipstore.com Search for "Paulineypie" or look under "Large Hair Clips" If the page doesn't come up choose the second page then choose the first page again. The site has some problems.

I acually saw these in a Halloween store

Me too last fall. Im dying to have one of these

I brought these at a street vendor last saturday it came 3 in a package. 2 black one white. I wear them in my hair

I started wearing them again! lol I loved wearing them in the 80s! They give your hair a really nice fullness...besides, as someone commented on here...why not start your own trend. Who cares what others think? If you like it, then go for it. I bought some and have fallen in love with them all over again! :) As we used to say "They are like, totally awesome" lol ;)

Loved banana clips and would like to get some really nice ones, I have a problem closing at the top..either I get it closed and see that all my hair isn't in or I get it all in and it won't close :( we use to make really pretty ones with ribbon/lace in all colors

I'm 71 and still wearing them!

I've bought so many of these cheap banana clips that are made today ..and throw them away as soon as I try them.What happened to the really strong ones? Please Goody start making the great ones again ....Please...please...please

Are used to wear these to prizing Lee I wish they would bring them back
