The barrettes, it's trendy at all ages!

For a few years, the barrette has been coming back in force. For a long time kept for little girls, barrettes know other users: women and young women! Having become an essential accessory, and even a star on the fashion runways, hair clips still have several years ahead of them. Slightly regressive, the barrette becomes a hair jewel.
But which barrettes for whom ? For which hairstyles ? And what style of hair clip ?

The history of the hair clip:

Let's start by knowing the origin of the hair clip. We must go back to the beginning of the 20th century, precisely in 1901. A certain Godward Ernest was the inventor of the first spiral hair pin, ancestor of the hair clip that we all know. The Belle Époque confirms a change in fashion, where women bring more femininity to their outfits, but also to their hairstyles often complex and sophisticated. That's why the hair clip became an essential accessory to the good outfit of the latter. Over the years, the style of hair clips has continued to evolve.

Barrettes for women

Retro, chic, glamorous, bohemian ... there is something for every style and taste. Ladies, you are looking for an accessory that will enhance your hairstyle, do not hesitate and choose a barrette that will perfectly suit your day or evening outfit.

For a bohemian hairstyle:

For a bohemian hairstyle, both simple and elegant, the half-tail, on long or short hair, held by a barrette is to be adopted for everyday or for a beautiful event. This hairstyle can be combined with a braid or twisted locks.

For a chic hairstyle :

For the office, an important date, or a fancy party? Think of the barrette as a stylish and trendy beauty accessory! A large barrette to hold a ponytail, a barrette or two on the side if you have short hair or to hold the rebellious strands of a low bun...

What style of barrette should I choose? :

For everyday wear, you should choose classic rectangular barrettes in sober colors. For a chic evening, you can choose between pearly, golden or floral beaded clips with a few shiny stones. You can also play with the size by choosing a large barrette or by accumulating several small ones.

For an event like a wedding, hair clips are the finishing touch. Magnify it with a colorful or natural dried flower hair clip for a bohemian wedding, or with a small diamond clip for a very chic wedding.

Barrettes for young women and teenagers:

For a glamorous hairstyle :

A night out with the girls or a romantic dinner? Achieve a quick and glamorous hairstyle: the side hair. Ultra trendy, this hairstyle offers a modern look. Simply place the length of the hair on one side and let it fall on the shoulder. Add a barrette or two on the other side to embellish the hairstyle.

For a simple, trendy hairstyle:

Whether you have long or short hair, simply tie one of the strands to the side with a barrette. Quick and pretty, this hairstyle is suitable for young women and teenagers alike.

What style of barrette should I choose? :

In addition to the sober barrettes, it is possible to dare a little more fantasy by choosing colorful barrettes, with messages, rhinestones or sequins. To adapt according to the rock look, 90's look, preppy look, casual look, sportswear look...

Hair clips for little girls:

Who hasn't had a few barrettes in their hair as a little girl? Whether it's to hold fine hair or to be like mom, little girls love hair clips! This accessory, often colorful and original, is easy to collect and adapts to every little girl's outfit. And in this section, you will find an infinite palette of colors, patterns, fun shapes or materials.

At PPMC, hair accessories are symbolic! Indeed, the beginning of the Papa Pique et Maman Coud adventure in 1995 started thanks to the little barrettes made at the time by the creator of the brand.

Today, the barrettes are still part of the adventure and you will find an important choice of models. You can choose between mini or small barrettes, flower barrettes, candy barrettes, star barrettes, bow barrettes, butterfly barrettes, shell barrettes, whale barrettes, chickadees barrettes... The most difficult thing will be to choose!
Small + :
It is sometimes difficult to fit a barrette on children's hair, as they are so thin. That's why at PPMC, we offer you different frames like the crocodile frame or the click-clac frame ideal for baby's fine hair or the flat frame adapted to little girls with more hair.

Ladies, are you also in love with our barrettes? Use them as a brooch on your outfit or to decorate a bag!
