Hair accessories sale: clearance clips and barrettes for women

Everything in this hair accessories sale is new. These are the clips and barrettes we have taken out of the main collection to make room for new arrivals, so only their place in the catalogue has changed, along with the price.

Two ways of wearing them run through the selection: the clip that holds a half-up style and the barrette that pins one section flat against the side of the head. Finishes range from gilt metal to pale plastic, with flowers, pearls and rhinestones doing most of the decorative work. One piece is set with a single brown stone, for anyone who prefers something quieter.

What our hair accessories sale actually changes

Nothing about how a piece is made. The clip you find here comes off the same production line as the one still sitting in the current range; it has simply had its season. If you want something ornamental for your hair without paying jewellery money, start here rather than in the main range.

Decoration is the quickest way through the selection

Colour tells you less here than the ornament does, so it is worth sorting by what sits on top of the clip.

Types of decoration found across this selection and who they tend to suit
Flower motifsRoses, single blooms on a stem and flower buds, usually on a gilt base; the most forgiving option on a plain outfit
PearlsSet either as a scatter across the mount or as one central bead; reads softly in daylight
RhinestonesCatch the light from a distance, which makes them the evening choice of the group
Natural stoneThe one natural-stone design, matt rather than sparkling, for anyone avoiding shine altogether
LetteringThe LOVE barrettes, where the word itself is the ornament and the rhinestones only outline it

Choosing a piece for a wedding or a party

Occasion wear is where this selection earns its keep, because a piece worn twice a year rarely justifies a full-price purchase.

Guest hair, kept simple

A gilt clip with a single flower sits well on a low twist and photographs without catching the flash. Keep the ornament smaller than the section of hair it holds, and it will read as deliberate rather than added on.

Something that carries across a room

Rhinestone pieces are the ones that register from a distance. Worn above the ear rather than at the back, a LOVE barrette becomes the one bright point in an otherwise plain hairstyle.

Fine hair, thick hair: what actually holds

Weight decides more than size does. The pale plastic clips are the lightest pieces here and stay put on fine hair that heavier mounts slide straight out of, while a gilt clip has the grip for a fuller half-up. On very dense hair, the barrettes belong on the sections framing the face and a clip takes the bulk.

Looking after glued rhinestones and pearls

Both are fixed to the mount with adhesive, so prolonged soaking is the one thing to avoid. Wipe the finish down after each wear, and give each piece its own pouch so the raised parts do not knock against each other. Treated that way, an ornamental clip keeps its shine well beyond the season it was bought in.

Where the rest of the hair accessories sit

Can't find the style you had in mind? The current hair clip range, outside the clearance, covers the same styles with newer designs.

Pieces that snap shut rather than pinch are grouped under the snap-fastening styles from the regular collection.

Alongside them, the end-of-line belts work exactly the same way: collection turnover.

The remaining categories are gathered in the accessories clearance.

Frequently asked questions

Are these pieces heavy to wear all day?

The plastic ones are barely noticeable and suit a full working day. The gilt mounts have real weight, which is what gives them their grip; on a long day they are better on a half-up style than on the whole head of hair.

Do these pieces work as a gift?

They do. A flower clip or a LOVE barrette slips easily into a small parcel, which makes it an easy birthday, Mother's Day or thank-you present.

Can they be worn with short hair?

Yes, provided you pick the right shape. On a bob or shorter, the barrettes are the safer choice: they need only one section of hair to grip, whereas a clip needs length to fold hair back on itself.
