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???

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 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 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.

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...
