We have previously created a blog on how to wear Barettes, however with the barettes becoming a must have accessory this season and one of the simplest ways to change your hairstyle, we bring you a few simple styles and add some more advanced ways to incorporate barrettes to enhance your look. Barrettes offer endless styling possibilities irrespective of your hair's length or style, whether it's worn up or down. Our range expands with both gala and cellulose acetate varieties.


1. THE SIDE BARRETTE

1. First, Simply part your hair where you please

2. Second, Comb or pull back tightly a section of your hair over your ear

3. Open the barrette with your other hand, slide the barrette up in an angle from just above your ear with the hair inside and shut tight

2. LOW PONY BARRETTE

The Low Pony is a great stylish way for keeping your hair out of your face during the day. This look is equally effective with a tight slicked back effect- “Bella Hadid style” or to soften the look. You can pull through your hair to frame the face creating a stunning effect.

1. Simply open the barrette and enclose the hair inside , then close the barrette

2. Additional Step - Pull out small hair pieces from the part line. This softens and frames your face.

3. HALF UP DO BARRETTE

The half updo is pretty straightforward, but you can switch up the style by incorporating plaits or braids before securing them with a clasp. Alternatively, as shown in the image below, you can simply twist each side before attaching the barrette, achieving a feminine and romantic effect.
