Pink Pegasus Wave French Barrette | Italian Acetate | Salon-Selected

White Acetate with Sky Blue and Soft Pink Flecks for an Airy Half-Up | Salon-Selected

The Pink Pegasus Wave French Barrette is a 3.8 inch by 1 inch wave-shaped barrette in Italian acetate from Fenna&Fei, a woman-owned small business. Pink Pegasus has a white acetate base with sky blue and soft pink confetti flecks. It is for anyone who wants a half-up style, a low ponytail, or a swept-back section held with a single metal snap clasp instead of a handful of pins.

The barrette body is cellulose acetate, a material made from cotton pulp and acetic acid that is biodegradable. Fenna&Fei describes it as lightweight yet durable. The acetate is sourced from Italy and Japan and then finished in China and Idaho. The clasp is a metal French barrette, a spring-loaded bar that snaps closed and locks the section in place.

Delena selected this barrette after over 25 years behind the chair because a French barrette holds a section without the crease an elastic leaves, and the 3.8 inch length is long enough for a half-up section without overpowering a smaller head. To use it, gather the section, smooth it with a comb, open the spring-loaded bar, lay the barrette over the hair with the wave facing out, and press the bar until it clicks closed.

Before you snap it closed, run the Hair Finishing Stick along the part and over the section to tame flyaways so the finish stays smooth. If you like the French clasp in metal, see the Brushed Bronze Bar Clip, and browse every accessory in Shop All.

Works best for: half-up styles, low ponytails, and swept-back sections on fine to medium hair.
