To use a hair slide barrette, pull the barrette open, slide it through a section of your hair, and then close it to secure the hair in place.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Open the Barrette: Most hair slide barrettes have a hinged clip mechanism. Gently pry open the clip on the barrette.
-
Gather Your Hair: Decide which section of your hair you want to secure with the barrette. This could be a small section to pull back bangs, a larger section for a half-up hairstyle, or to secure the end of a braid.
-
Slide the Barrette Through: With the clip open, slide the barrette through the gathered section of hair, positioning it where you want it to sit.
-
Close the Barrette: Once the barrette is in the desired position, close the clip to secure your hair. Ensure that all the hair you want to be held by the barrette is within the clip.
-
Adjust as Needed: If the barrette feels loose or is not holding all the hair you intended, gently reopen it, readjust the hair, and close it again.
Different types of barrettes may have slightly different mechanisms, but the general principle of opening the clip, sliding it through the hair, and closing it to secure remains the same. Wide arch barrettes are particularly suited to holding thicker hair.
