Extensive Definition
A barrette (also called hair-slide in British
English or a hair clip in Australian
English ) is a clasp or pin--often appearing as shiny objects
in little girls' hair--for holding hair in place, usually a
woman's.
Barrettes are worn according to size, with small
ones at the front and large ones in the back. They are used to keep
hair out of the eyes but can also be just ornamental.
