Goody Stay Tight Hair Barrettes - 8 Ct, Assorted Metallic Colors, Non-Slip Flat Hair Clips, Comfortable & Versatile Hair Accessories for Women & Men, Hair Clips for All Hair Types

The illustration in the title of this review -- 8O : ) -- represents a happy lady, (me....or any other purchaser), wearing these wonderful barrettes! Officially called "3 Inch Domed Stay-Tight Barrettes by Goody", they have been around a LONG time, and I, for one, am very, very glad that this quality product -- and other quality hair products, (including all their wonderful barrettes), are still available from Goody. Like many people, I first saw 'Goody' barrettes, on the shelves of the late, lamented, and greatly missed classic department store, WOOLWORTH'S, 8O :_( But at least these wonderful 'Goody' barettes are still around!In the same 3 colours, (gold, silver, and brown), as before, they attach easily to the hair. I like to wear all three at once -- first putting in one barrett backwards, then raising the resulting semi-pony tail up, and attaching it to the rest of my hair with the other two barettes. I'm (very) slightly handicapped -- but, with a little effort, I can still do this entirely by myself, as these barrettes take in a good deal of hair, and STAY closed when you close them! (These barrettes are for average-thickness hair. If you have very thick hair, I suggest you use the Goody For-Thick-Hair barrettes.)These are very pretty, very shiny barrettes. The silver and gold colours are "foil-bright", and show off dark hair very nicely. (I've seen some very rich, blonde-haired ladies wearing black bows in their hair. Nice contrast if you have blonde hair -- but for those of us who don't, the silver and gold barrettes are a nice contrast for darker hair. As is the included brown barrette, for blondes who want to have more control over their hair than just putting in a bow!)It's too bad Woolworth's no longer exists. I've called up the company that replaced them, Footlocker, and they've kindly told me that Woolworth's has not just been incorporated into Footlocker -- it has been totally subsumed, and so sadly, Woolworth's itself totally no logner exists, (outside of England, where a totally different company, though with the same name, and same products, continues to exist.) My memories of Woolworth include those wonderful punch-out Valentine's Day Card books, and my first introduction to the luxuries of linen writing paper -- Fifth Avenue Notepads. And, of course, wonderful 'Goody' Barrettes. If even a "[...]" is totally out of the question by this time, (sigh! sob!!!!!....note to Footlocker -- I'm sure that a resurrected [...]' would be a BIG hit! I'm sure I'm not the only person to greatly MISS those Valentine's Day Card books!), at least the Woolworth's reputation for quality AND value continues, in some products once carried by Woolworth's Department stores, and still available elsewhere. Including these great 'Goody' Barrettes!A true classic, these barrettes are made by the 'Goody' company. The fascinating history of the Goody company, (which was acquired in 1993 by the Newell-Rubbermaid company in 1993). Yet, Newell-Rubbermaid graciously allows the proud 'Goody' name to continue! And no wonder -- with a reputation for excellent, very inexpensive hair-products, 'Goody', IN hair products, means value and excellence! These barrettes are easy to use, keep hair in place, and look great! They are definitely "keepers"....and I hope Newell-Rubbermaid, (and their subsidiary, 'Goody'), continue making them forever! 8O : )

I've been using Goody clips almost my whole life. I have fine-textured hair and I need small short barrettes or they slide out in a matter of minutes. These are almost the only brand that will stay in my hair and I don't want clips that are 3" wide (which seems to be the majority of brands), I want these, which are 2" wide and work well on the sides.They're working well. I still have my old Goody clips, they're more than 20 years old but I wanted some in different colors to go with my other outfits. This pack has the colors I need, two black, two silver, a gold pair that's a single clip (I already have double clips), and a couple of tortoise-shell style.

I love these barrettes! Classic style, all day hold. Cute!

I love the colors and the sturdiness of these barrettes. I was a little disappointed that they seem a little too tight for the amount of hair I want to put in them. They are not necessarily built for really thick hair. I would say my hair is thick and they hold very tight.

Overall, I think these were pretty good, but they could be a little bit bigger for thicker hair, but they still do the job

I have very fine hair that isn't extremely thick so these barrettes are perfect for me. I love them for pinning my hair up in our hot Florida summers or when out on a boat and I don't want my hair in my face.

Stays put in fine hair. Stylish. Comfortable.

These are the best barrettes. Very sturdy and non breakable and super durable. They hold even the thickest hair all day.
