Not just for kids, barrettes can be a great way to pin your hair out of your face or add a little glitz to a plain look, like a ponytail. From simply styled smaller barrettes, to large barrettes with beads and bows, you're sure to find the perfect hair accessory to fit your unique style.
For Babies
Barrettes are a wonderful hair accessory for babies, since they're great for little heads with barely any hair. You'll find tiny baby barrettes that Velcro into the hair as well as versions that slip into the hair and clip closed. Baby barrettes are made of plastic or metal and are often times covered with ribbon or fabric to protect your little one's head. Most baby barrettes are decorated with whimsical animals and flowers in pastel colors. Baby barrettes are tiny and easy to swallow so make sure the barrette is secured correctly into your child's head.
For Children and Adults
For older girls and grown women you'll find both small barrettes to pin back the sides or front of the hair and large barrettes, some that are big enough to create a ponytail. There are short barrettes, long barrettes, skinny barrettes and wide barrettes. Most have a metal clip backing that is covered with a wide variety of materials including glass, ceramic, fabric and plastic. There are barrettes that snap closed and those with a French lock. You'll find plain, slim barrettes in basic colors like silver black, gold and brown meant to blend into hair and not necessarily decorate. Tortoise shell barrettes are also a subtle way to pull back hair. For girls you'll find barrettes that are painted in bright colors or festively decorated with bows, ribbons, jewels and more. For a glitzier adult barrette look for antique barrettes in silver, gold or bronze or bejeweled barrettes with Swarovski crystals or pearls.
