France Luxe Gala Clip

Trying to protect my hair by avoiding metal clips, I like to use these while I sleep but the back is so thin that a always break. I wish I had something like this with a stronger back pin.

Not a traditional barrette. but a 4" long clip that hugs the head, nestles into hair and latches closed. It has no metal, is (gently) flexible and weighs less than 1/8 of an ounce. My hair is growing out from hair loss, shoulder length now, with medium volume & curly. If used horizontally the Gala will hold the top of my French twist all day. It will also hold half my hair together center back without sliding down, but curliness below may be helping to hold it in place. I have not been able to use it vertically without it flipping upside down, but I might learn to get it in with my left hand. Have Tortoise & am planning on ordering the Black Gala soon.

I agree with the other reviewer; this is a lovely clip, but it is loose, and for some reason it looks a bit lop-sided when I am wearing it. (Mind you, it could be I'm not using it right.) I do like it, though, because it doesn't tug on the hair, and when I just want my hair out of the way, it's easy to pull it back with this clip. (I like the elegant but simple design. I wish there were more large slide barrettes like this that are just as easy to use.)

I like this clip & wear it but it is loose & slides down my hair, it is lightweight & the opening is large. Altho not very practical it is a very cool design that I think is so unique, it reminds me of a tie end or a paper clip. It's too unique not to wear, but I keep readjusting it all day as it slips.

I'm not fashion-savvy so took me few tries to figure how best to use this classic good looking clip to tie up my thin hair in bun in back. It holds tight and well. Would buy it again? YES!

Beautiful and elegant. However, I have long, thick hair and great for most hair types is only partially true for me. The clip works but I worry that it is at its limits. So beautiful though and will try with half up styles.
