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….!
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!
Cos Hair Accessories:
Here are a few simple but elegant suggestions for you, I love to shop at Cos the quality is superb and I think you may find these prices are surprisingly acceptable
More Summer 2019 Hair Accessories From And Other Stories:
Not so much a barette slightly softer and very feminine. Superb Summer hair accessories!
My Favourites are number 3 from Cos and number 4 from and other stories, which ones do you fancy?
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.
