A brief history of hairpins and barrettes
The fascinating history of hairpins dates back to ancient times, when in ancient Egypt, ingenious solutions were used to keep hair tidy. Women then pinned their strands with decorative pins . Originally, hairpins were simple, but made of various materials, such as metal, wood and even ivory. They were used to create buns or fasten only sections of hair.
However, with the advent of industrialization and changing fashion trends in the 20th century, hairpins underwent a remarkable transformation. The stylish 1920s brought the appearance of unique hair clips, beautifully complementing the characteristic hairstyles of that era. They were, among other things, decorated with feathers and crystals. As the decades have passed, hair clips and barrettes have evolved to adapt to the ever-changing fashion landscape.

Clamp for thick hair – how to style it?
If you have thick and curly hair that barely fits into the clamp, try a little trick. First, divide the strands into two sections - upper and lower - and secure them with bobby pins. Then gently connect them and twist them slightly, then fasten them together with a hair clip.
For thick strands, choose accessories with wider teeth. The hair clip should be larger and fuller so that it can capture all the strands. Small and delicate, they won't be able to cope with a storm of curls.
You can also fasten only the upper part of your hair with a clamp, doing it in different ways.
