Does The rise of the Barette Mean The Demise of the Hair Slide?

 

No of course not! Because they are the same thing, with a different name. In my day we called them hair slides, hair-grips and clips. Today we use the American/French term and we call a hair slide a barette !

The Barette

According to the Cambridge English Dictionary:

 

…a small, decorative piece of plastic, metal, or wood that a woman or girl wears in her hair, often to stop it falling in front of her face

 

Like this….!

Does The rise of the Barrette Mean The Demise of the Hair Slide?

 

 

Hair accessories are a huge trend that is growing week on week. Does this mean that long hair is also on trend, surely you need a certain length of hair to hold a barrette? My hair is long and fine, very often a large barrette will not stay in place and quickly slides out of my silky soft locks!

A little note to add:

The hair slide I am wearing is pretty. but it broke very easily, and was more expensive than some of my suggestions above! So I won’t recommend this one to you. It did come in handy as a pretty pocket accessory!

    A pocket accessorie! Well never heard of those. 😂😂I bought a hairband, and have to use it yet. And I was also looking for some hair accessories. Can’t find reasonably priced ones though.

    Despite the fact that I have a mass of hair, I don’t actually know where to wear one on my head! I was with a friend looking at them the other week and we tried them on and she was amazed that I couldn’t find anywhere on my head where I could wear one convincingly. But yes, I love the accessories in COS, always so simple and stylish. AND much more affordable than people give them credit for.

    I’ve been eyeing up all the pretty hair accessories in the shops too. Not sure how I would wear them with my mop though!
