XL Art Nouveau Swirl Hair Clip, Hand Crafted Metal Barrette Made in the USA with a 100mm Clip by Oberon Design

This is, bar none, the best and prettiest barrette I've ever owned. I have very thick medium-length hair that I like to wear up most of the time, but I have always had a lot of trouble finding any kind of clip or barrette that will hold it all. (In high school I used to take the tension bars out of my barrettes to get the to close at all.) Claws usually will hold it but then I've got this big hunk of plastic sticking out of the back of my head, getting in the way when I'm in the car or trying to relax on the couch. So I'd rather wear a barrette. The first Oberon barrette I tried wasn't big enough, but that was my own fault. The listing clearly described it as "medium" but I was too excited by how pretty it was to realize that it wouldn't work for me. That one went back and I found this one instead, which I'm wearing right now. The design is lovely. It looks like jewelry in my hair, so much better than the functional-but-blah tortoise-shell plastic clips that are the only other things I've found that work. It would work beautifully for a dressy occasion, but at the same time it's simple enough for every day -- and why not wear something pretty every day?This is the first day I've owned it so I can't say for sure how long it will last, but it feels very sturdy, strong and secure. And the main thing is that it's extremely comfortable. There's no pulling, no weight, no tight feeling. I hardly know it's there, yet my hair has stayed securely and gracefully in place since I put it up much earlier today. Maybe I've never had a barrette that actually fit before? Anyway, I guess you can tell I'm excited about this barrette. Yes, it's a little pricey but you're paying for quality and function. If your hair is too thick for ordinary hair accessories, it's worth the price. I will be buying more.

This is the 3rd barrette I bought from this company. All of them are heavy, don’t bend, and can hold a lot (or less) of hair. They are prettier than the photos. They stay in place; I'm not fussing with them throughout the day. I love the quality and the artistry. I'm getting more

Very pretty and well made. I've had it for a month now.

I have very heavy hair. Most clips do not stay in my hair . I purchased this clip and I love it . It is perfect fir tick heavy hair. The spring clip is just what I needed. I have no regrets about my beautiful purchase

The barrette comes beautifully packaged and suitable for gifting. I love the detail and the design. And most importantly it holds my hair!

Very beautiful barrette. I’m definitely going to buy more from this company. You also get a little gift with purchase. Delivery was fast as well. Very good quality too.

This is a beautiful accessory but is very heavy to wear.

I think this is beautiful, it’s not for really thick hair though, I didn’t notice that. It works if you just secure just a little handful, though.

The barrette is beautiful and very well made - holds great! The seller included a lovely, personal note and it comes in a little gift box...I highly recommend it.

¡Realmente hermoso! y muy bonito el empaque con un pequeño regalo como detalle. El envío muy rápido y muy bien protegido el paquete. Compré 2 diferentes y los dos son hermososMuchas gracias

J'ai voulu investir dans un produit de qualité et je ne suis pas déçue. Mes cheveux sont longs et assez épais et souvent les barrettes tirent, voire s'ouvrent. Ici, ce n'est pas le cas. J'aime bcp son aspect art nouveau. Je recommande vivement!

Ich liebe diese Haarspange, sie kam in einer schönen Deko-Schachtel, in der sie auch weiter aufbewahrt werden kann. Tolles, historisch anmutendes Teil!
