I have very thin, very fine hair, which was the bane of my childhood existence.  You see, I always wanted to wear barrettes and bows, and ribbons, and pigtails, and my mother did her best to oblige (you know, once I was about six and had some hair to work with), but no matter what she did, my hair rejected all manner of adornment like Amy Winehouse rejecting rehab.  No, no, bow.

Same thing holds true today.  If I want to put in a barrette or a bob of some sort, I have to jimmy it in with a hair pin.  Nothing holds.  Well, orthodontic rubber bands work, but they also break my hair.  This means I am often skeptical of products with taglines saying they will work in the thinnest, finest of hair.  Still, after seeing two new products and wondering about them for a while, I went ahead and bought one of each.

Ezcomb and Bumpits, aside from having supremely obnoxious websites, are my new favorite hair bobs.  In fact, after being stopped by two women while grocery shopping today, who wanted to admire my ezcomb, I may buy stock in the company.  Not really.  But how nice!

Last night, after drinking a margarita that was so much stronger than I thought it was that it took me until noon today to recover (lightweight!), I came home and played with my new hair toys.  I also took pictures.  Listen, if these things are so easy to use that even a drunken blonde can make them look put together, these things are awesome!

(I am self aware enough to know that these are not particularly great photos of the items in question, but you'll just have to trust me.)

I particularly like that I can dress these things up or down, depending on the mood.  Meanwhile, I've been wearing the ezcomb since about 4 this afternoon.  It is now 11pm, and I haven't had to readjust the combs at all.  They have not slipped, have not slid, and my hair hasn't fallen out of them.  If only these things had been around when I was in elementary school!
