Minimalist gold hair accessories - brass hair clip - round barrette - hair pin - gold hair slide - geometric hair clip *This item is completely handmade by me in my studio in Montreal. My photos are often stolen and used by sellers on other sites and even here sometimes. Rest reassured, this is the original hair clip handmade by me. The 2 persons on these photos are my sister and me. Simple, minimalist and chic design. This gold brass hair accessory is a must for a quick hairstyle! Please note that this hair accessory works best with thick and textured hair. It might not hold in place if you fine or super straight hair. If you choose the bigger one, you will need lots of hair to hold it in place. This hair accessory is meant to be worn as shown on the photos. It might not hold a whole ponytail. • SIZE: Your choice of 1.5 or 2 inches • MATERIAL: Raw brass • SOLD INDIVIDUALLY * This hair clip is made of raw brass. Since it’s not plated, it’s normal if it oxidizes quickly under certain conditions. To clean oxidation, you can use a toothbrush with toothpaste and brush the piece with a little water. It’s important to wipe dry after cleaning. Avoid contact with perfumes, cosmetics, chlorine, tap or sea water and moisture. Keep your it stored in a small airtight bag when not worn. ** How it works... Hard to explain but I'll try. :) Take your hair in one hand and place the ring on top of the hair you want to attach. Hold everything in place using one hand. With your other hand, take the stick and poke inside the circle on one side. You want to pass it under your hair as close as possible to your scalp. Finally the stick should exit on top of the ring on the other side. The pressure of your hair will secure everything in place, so the more hair you catch the better.
