Choosing the Right Barrettes

When choosing barrettes for thin hair, there are a few things to keep in mind:


  • Size: Smaller barrettes are less likely to weigh down your hair, while larger barrettes can add more volume.
  • Shape: Choose barrettes with a variety of shapes and sizes to create different looks.
  • Color: Match your barrettes to your hair color for a seamless look, or choose contrasting colors to add a pop of personality.
  • Material: Barrettes made from metal or plastic are best for thin hair, as they won’t weigh it down.

  • Section your hair: Divide your hair into small sections, starting at the roots.
  • Tease your hair: Use a comb to gently tease your hair at the roots, creating small, fluffy sections.
  • Add barrettes: Clip barrettes into your hair at the roots, working your way up from the nape of your neck.
  • Finish with hairspray: Spritz your hair with hairspray to hold the barrettes in place and keep your hair looking its best.
