France Luxe Black Hair Barrette for Thin Hair, French Barrette, Nacro Black

Beautiful and works well on my thin hair

I use this barrette to clip the sides of my curly/wavy hair at the back of my head, in a "half up, half down" hairstyle, and this barrette is a good size for this hairstyle. I bought 3 colors (Onyx, Mojave, and black) and the Onyx color was my surprise favorite (I thought it would be the one I'd like the least!). Onyx is MUCH prettier in person, I don't think the photo does it justice. Onyx goes great with my light/medium ash-toned blonde hair, and I can wear it with black clothes, brown clothes, any color really. I find myself using this color barrette all the time. Mojave is a great color, too, but I don't think it goes as well with my hair color (if you have brown or black hair, you might like it better). The black barrette is a stark contrast with my hair color, and a bit too plain, so I find myself not using it (if you have black or dark brown hair and want a barrette that doesn't stand out, you'll probably like the black color better than I did). France Luxe barrettes are initially pricier than drugstore barrettes, but the France Luxe ones don't get caught in my hair, and they don't break despite me constantly using them. Over the years they end up being cheaper than the drugstore versions. They're well worth it, in my opinion.

Kept my thin hair clipped up all afternoon without pulling on any hairs or sagging down. Very comfortable. Exactly what they promote. Highly recommend.

I was given 2 barrettes from France years ago. One I wore out and so I was pleasantly surprised to find the maker here on Amazon. I found this barrette which, while not exactly like the one I loved so much and wore out, IS a tortoise color and it is sturdy for my thick hair. The ONLY reason I gave it four stars is because my previous barrette had a BIG "Made in France" etched right on the metal barrette part and this one has a very small, barely legible "France" on the plastic part. "Made in France"- etch it on the metal proudly because your product is beautiful!

I have thin but curly hair and have been looking for a barrette to hold up all of my hair at once. Something that didn't snap back when I tried to clip it shut, something my hair wouldn't get caught up when I removed it and something that was also sturdy yet stylish. THIS IS IT! Yes, it's a bit more expensive that your typical barrette, but worth every single penny. I love it and wear it constantly. My hair stays put, the barrette doesn't pull, it closes with all of my hair in it, it's stylish and absolutely perfect. I cannot recommend this barrette enough! You won't regret it spoiling yourself with this barrette. I feel like it will last a long time.

Either the quality of these barrettes have gone way down hill or this is a fake. I have this EXACT barrette, purchased from Nordstrom 2 years ago. The Nordstrom clasp is sturdier and 'MADE IN FRANCE' is written on the center tension bar. On this one, 'FRANCE' is in raised letters on the plastic itself. This barrette is also just a hair longer than the Nordstrom barrette (I'd guess a millimeter), and the metal is flimsier/jankier. If it's not a fake, then France Luxe is making them with cheaper materials.

bonito, el metal es más liviano y débil que el que hacían hace cuatro años, pero funciona bien y está bien terminado

Perfect; just as represented.

This barrette is gorgeous and seems extremely well made. I have been using it for the past week and my hair hasn't gotten tangled in it once. I will definitely be replacing my other hair accessories with France Luxe products

love this barrette and use it all the time. I have a lot of hair that is wavy and this clips the hair nicely in the back. it won't work for all your hair unless you have fine hair. I also bought a similar one in black that is wider from the same brand. Only thing is that these are flippin' expensive! I doled out the cash for it because I seriously could not find anything in stores anywhere. the ones I found were either kinda cheap looking or were too small to hold my hair. That being said, I still think these brand name barrettes are quite expensive. Tho I guess if they are being shipped from Europe, it's costly. I never think of buying barrettes when I travel overseas, though I should. Would still recommend them though...lol...
