Barrette Sizing 

Because of Maiden America's patent-pending 'Non-Slip' feature

many of our largest designs can be supported on

even the smallest barrette size.

(And if you haven't seen a huge design on a little head - it's downright adorable!)

"MINI"

XS (40mm)

Approx. 1-1/2" long.

Maiden America nonslip barrette - Velvet Twinkle

Velvet Twinkle

Maiden America's smallest and best-selling barrette size.  Perfect for small amounts of very fine hair.

"SMALL"

SM (50mm)

Approx. 2" length

Maiden America non slip barrette - Fuzzy Roses x3

Fuzzy Roses x3

This size is a bit larger than the mini.   Ideal for larger amounts of very fine hair.

"MEDIUM"

MD (60mm)

Approx. 2-1/2"

Maiden America Non Slip barrette - Velvet Sheer Rosette

Velvet Sheer Rosette

This size is to girls with thicker hair what the 40mm - XS barrette size is to girls with small amounts of  very fine hair; it's great for keeping hair up and out of the face.

"LARGE"

LG (70mm)

Approx. 2-3/4"

Maiden America Nonslip barrette - Euro Baby Crystal

Euro Baby Crystal

A great size for older girls and women, too.  It holds a lot of hair.  We do have a 'jumbo' size but it is not yet generally available (custom orders).  

 

Maiden America's hair clips can hold even a tiny amount of "toddler fine" hair in place.

For MAXIMUM effect,

CENTER the hair

(so that it is held at the center of the tension bar, where hold is strongest)

 

NOTE: as a rule, for barrettes of ANY kind, filling the barrette to capacity (but not overly full) gives you a better effect, as well.
