Barrettes for thick hair

4 replies

eyeface · 15/07/2024 02:42

Hi,
Could anyone please recommend somewhere that sells reasonably priced barrette style clips that will hold a good amount of thick/curly hair? I need something smart enough for work, ideally not tortoiseshell, black/brown/silver is good.

I'm really struggling to find them, there are a few at Tegen but I don't particularly like them and £30+ is a lot as I'd like to get 2 or 3 to alternate. My old ones are all breaking (my hair bursts them eventually).

Claire's used to do ones for thick hair but don't seem to now, I've searched Boots Next Superdrug Asos, googled hair accessory suppliers/afro hair ones, finding nothing. There are some on eBay/Amazon/Etsy but there's so much there it's hard to find exactly what I need, and I don't want them to be too cheap and go ping within a few weeks!

So if you've got a lot of hair and found a bar that holds it recently I'd be very grateful for a tip off please.

Have a look at Amazon and search, "hair accessories". I have the opposite problem as I have fine hair.

Something like this maybe? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acrylic-French-Colors-Accessories-Bright/dp/B0BGP4RMQW/ref=sr_1_32?crid=3N0E54BYD9CFP&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.wP0V-C5qkcjbBsGbkhzrLC2Qx2jBEwFHTBefKSfI2jZNjOQTIkWZHiS6O4o71EsNAafVC8fsFNH_4JxSDEGqIakCasuQD3bCvcGTW-bdeEBh0F__9Z27kijqiGJVSdfHoRkp1ARQ391ThbnofB5-z4cxgvncS90JfbDj77HpmJdtQNDKKOrXLY3oZMRLdxTfHvC9aVR9mPA00u0_wXWGMDf1ubNUZNbp-XPLtRtC8V_gD5pUKjpEvju2ZPjt5nf659_EmJ_1xk0PRbuxHXxpvqc1m1KDcN_7_-HruM6XWZo.s7G48PHXRaGg6nQpPjMNVh4sr3i97cUq_8ImEXUwG9k&dib_tag=se&keywords=hair+accessories&qid=1721019637&sprefix=hair+accessories%2Caps%2C134&sr=8-32

They might not fit your budget, but I'm suggesting France Luxe and Ficcare as they have been the only hair clips and barrettes that consistently work for my thick hair.
Alternatively, I've had good luck with the kind of barrettes that are made of leather and a stick like this style from Etsy (no personal experience with this seller)

bumping as I would like some suggestions too

eyeface · 15/07/2024 19:27

Ooh thank you so much @CombFromAShoe, what a great selection, at both sites and particularly France Luxe, that's just what I needed. I just don't have the patience to wade through Amazon, I love these sites where you can browse to a page of just what I want and they're all suitable! And now to choose...
