I love these barrettes and want them in all colors. They aren’t the kind that you would use for a ponytail because they are a bit small. They would be used for a half up half down hairdo. Or just to pull your bangs out of your face. I have very fine hair and they stay put and don’t slide off. I love the look, I was just a bit disappointed because I thought I was getting two silver ones, when in fact you get one gold and one silver. I don’t wear a lot of gold so I don’t know if that one will get much use.
