This rather cool looking barrette looks amazing, even in a formal dress. It will lift your hair off your shoulders and keep you cool at the hottest events.
A barrette is easy to use and will keep your hair in place even if you have very fine hair. Use the elastic band trick to ensure your longer hair stays off your neck all day. Simply lift your hair and loop a hair elastic to hold it up. Then take the wooden stick and poke it through one side of the barrette, then poke it through your hair BEHIND the hair elastic, then poke it through the other hole in the barrette. The elastic will keep it firmly in place and you will look stunning. Best of all, nobody can see the icky elastic!
This hair accessory looks great during the day, elegant in the evenings and should be a fixture in every hand bag!
If your hair is long enough for a ponytail, you can wear our barrettes. Just put your hair up into a ponytail with an elastic hairband. Then add the barrette by spearing the stick just above the hairband. If you want to put your hair up in a bun, put it in a low ponytail first. Then twist your hair up and add the barrette.
