Product Insights
This 4-inch barrette from Simons securely holds thick hair without slipping, thanks to its metal clasp design. However, the clasp may snag fine hair and requires careful handling, including prompt drying and occasional oiling to prevent tarnish. Priced at $9—the same as a 3-pack of clips—its shiny metallic finish suits both casual and formal styles.
Verified claims
- Thick hair hold
- 4-inch barrette holds thick hair securely without slipping.
- Fine hair care
- Metal clasp grips thick hair securely, but very fine or delicate hair may snag; handle carefully. The arm's smooth plastic coating helps it glide through strands without tearing.
- Clasp smoothness
- Clasp typically smooth but may snag very fine hair.
- Clasp care
- Clasp stays smooth when dried promptly, stored dry, and oiled.
- Tarnish prevention
- Prompt drying, dry storage, and olive oil coating prevent tarnish on the metal clasp.
- Rust removal
- A baking soda and vinegar paste lifts early rust from the clasp.
- Length
- 4-inch (10.5 cm) length provides secure hold for medium to thick hair.
- Versatile styling
- High-gloss shiny plastic finish with a metal spring clasp gives the barrette a versatile look for both casual and formal styling; it reads as glossy rather than sparkly, rhinestone, or all-metal.
- Hairstyle range
- 4-inch barrette spreads tension for secure hold on medium-to-thick hair and high-volume styles.
- Pricing
- $9 barrette priced same as Simons' 3-pack of clips; all three colors are $9.
- Color options
- Available in Black, Off White, and Red colourways; the Black colourway is glossy black high-gloss plastic with a metal spring clasp, and all three colourways share the same glossy plastic sheen.
- Inner grip band
- The barrette includes an inner rubber/elastic band that helps keep it in place.
- Length and hairstyle coverage
- The 4-inch length supports a half-up on fine hair or a full ponytail on thick hair, where smaller clips would be overwhelmed.
- Material composition
- The barrette is made of a shiny plastic body with a metal spring clasp; the 'metallic' in the product description refers to the metal hardware, not a metallic colour coating.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Long Rounded Barrette: Choose this if you want a minimalist, glossy 4-inch (10.5 cm) plastic-and-metal barrette in one size, available in Black, Off White, or Red. Reviewers with thick or long hair report its internal rubber band holds securely all day without readjusting, while the smooth-coated arm glides through strands without snagging or tearing. These hold and hair-friendliness experiences come from a reviews analysis rather than the original testimonials, so individual results may vary.[1] | Rounded Barrette: Choose this if you want a classic, understated barrette with a high-gloss black top and a slim, elongated rounded shape. It is made of shiny plastic with a metallic clip measuring 3 inches (8 cm) and comes in one size. Its exposed silver-toned clasp components give it a simple look, though it suits smaller, simple styling rather than holding large amounts of hair, which the listing does not address.[2,3] | Rounded Rectangle Barrette: Choose this if you want a glossy, curved rounded-rectangle barrette in a neutral shade like Off White or Chocolate/Espresso. It is made with cellulose acetate, described by Simons as a flexible and durable material offering increased comfort, with a 3.25-inch (8 cm) gold-tone metal clip. It comes in one size.[4,5,6] |

Great clip
I bought this to hold long hair back, it works great the arm has a smooth plastic coating so it doesn’t tear your hair.
J'adore
Très jolie couleur, la bande en caoutchouc a l'intérieur garde la barrette bien en place.

Clipped is a good thing!
It's challenging to find a batette that can hold thick hair. Not only is it elegant in its' simplicity, but it holds my thick hank all day, pretty much without slipping. Very pleased.
