The Barrette Hair Trend Is Back And Here’s How You Can Rock It Stylishly

What's not to love about the '80s-'90s' fashion trends? And the fact that they back bring immense style files to see around! Now, there's a new hair accessory winning over celebrities and influencers alike and are taking us directly back to a back-to-school look: the barrette! We are sure you have grooved to Dua Lipa's Break Your Heart or tried Ariana Grande's iconic ponytail. From Met Gala red carpets to supermodel's off-duty looks, barrettes are a favourite. Whether you pick the small and classic versions, with metal or pearl ones, to the most extravagant and bold with designs full of sparkles, the styling opportunities are endless now. While these hair accessories do have a practical function like keeping your hair out of your face, it's more about the way they look - we say, it's jewellery for your hair.

This Is How You Can Style Your Hair With A Barrette

1. Say It Out Loud

Statement clips or slogan barrettes are perfect for an edgier look. Forget wearing your heart on your sleeve, put your feels on your hair. A chic side-swept hair works well for this look. Slogan barrettes are very cool, and we are all over it!

2. Dainty Pearls

Whether this is a metallic clip or a barrette pinning soft waves to one side of your face, your hair accessory should complement your entire look and even your mood as well. Barrettes with dainty pearls are classy and have a romantic flair to them. These pearl hair clips are feminine and fabulous.

3. Back It Up

If a sleek bun or ponytail is your thing, add a clip around the pony for some drama. This way it has even more of an impact. Here's our pro tip, it can also trick people into thinking that your hair had been brushed or attended to recently, even when that's not true at all.

4. Chic And Ready

Lover of maximalism with minimal flair? Mix-and-match your barrettes for a serious hair stack. Your barrettes don't always have to pop. Opt for a shade that's similar to your hair colour for a subtle, yet cool, way to elevate your look.

5. Retro Pop

Wear your hair straight and sleek with one clip on each side and mix with an '80s look. Trust retro style to amp up the glam quotient like no other.
