Product Insights
The Slim Barrette by Simons is a $9 accessory for fine to medium hair, offering a low-bulk hold via a metal clip concealed behind a plastic front. Its slim profile suits subtle styles like half-ups or side sweeps, but the molded plastic construction carries a 5–10% breakage rate typical of the category, and its price—double that of drugstore packs—places it alongside indie acetate clips rather than everyday basics.

Perfect for us fine haired girls!
Been using for many years and keep spares on hand to give to those fine haired friends who come my way. It is very much appreciated. I keep it in my wish list and apparently not only is it showing as out of stock but when go into the description, it says it has been discontinued. 😌 I hope this isn't so.

Absolutely wonderful for those of us with finer hair. Do not need to use with an elastic and hair stays on place all day. I have purchased these for my fine haired friends and they are thrilled. I hope Simons keeps this as a staple forever.
