Product Insights
The Flecked Rectangular Barrette by Simons is a $6 layered-acetate barrette that is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and anti-static, offering snag-free hold and a unique, subtle flecked pattern that won't peel or fade. Its flex resilience prevents breakage and maintains tension, but it is best for medium to fine hair—silky hair may require texturizing spray—and it demands careful care: it scratches easily, yellows under UV, and warps in moisture, so avoid water, heat, and chemicals and store in a pouch.
Verified claims
- Hair type
- Holds medium to fine hair securely; may not hold a full thick head of hair, and very fine or silky hair may slip without texturizing spray.
- Comfort
- Lightweight, hypoallergenic acetate barrette feels warm and resists static.
- Durability
- Acetate barrette flexes without breaking and maintains clip tension for long-term hold.
- Scalp safety
- Hypoallergenic, plant-based, no BPA/phthalates, flexes to prevent breakage.
- Lightweight
- Significantly lighter than acrylic, preventing scalp pressure and headaches.
- Hair-friendly
- Smooth, anti-static surface for snag-free insertion and no frizz on removal.
- Craft
- Pattern runs through the layered acetate rather than sitting on the surface, so it won't peel or flake; prolonged UV exposure can still cause fading or yellowing.
- Uniqueness
- Each barrette has a subtly unique pattern due to sheet layering.
- Pattern subtlety
- Flecked pattern is subtle: visible up close, reads solid from afar.
- Value
- Priced at $6 CAD, layered-acetate barrette typically $10–$30.
- Care
- Barrette scratches easily, yellows under UV, and warps in moisture.
- Material sustainability
- Cellulose acetate is renewable, compostable, and petrochemical-free.
- Hypoallergenic
- Cellulose acetate is naturally hypoallergenic for sensitive scalps.
- Cleaning
- Use mild soap for daily cleaning; white gas for deep grease removal.
- Protection
- Avoid water, heat, and chemicals; store in pouch to prevent scratches.
- Size
- The barrette is 3 inches long, a compact size for sectioning medium to fine hair.
- Color cast
- The beige-and-cream fleck can lean more yellow than white; at least one buyer returned it because it did not match their hair color.
- Clasp backing
- A rubber piece on the back of the clip helps keep it in place when closed.
- Hand feel
- The acetate body is denser than ABS plastic, giving a substantial, warm hand feel that belies the $6 price.

Nice Clip.
I gave it a 4 stars just because there is more yellow than white in it, and it does not work with my hair color. I returned it, but other than that, the clip and its pattern is very nice
Très jolie!! :)

This clip is great! It has a rubber piece on the back of it so it keeps it in place when you close it.
