Jump on the Statement Hair Clip Trend With MACHETE
Incase you have been living under a rock hair clips are the new thing!!
They’re back - in a big way too!!!!
Surely you have seen the hair clip trend somewhere, whether it was on the heads of NYFW attendees or adorning the locks of your favorite Instagrammer. I’m usually not one to jump into short-lived trends – I tend to prefer the idea of a more timeless and unique look than trends usually allow for. Plus, I’m always working towards buying less and being more intentional about my purchases, especially when it comes to my wardrobe. But after eyeing the clips I saw everywhere for the past few months, I finally decided I was ready to take the plunge and take this trend for a spin this fall. After all, it’s a pretty low commitment experiment, with super affordable options out there. And it’s looking like it’ll stick around for a minute!!!
If you’re asking yourself “Uh, can I pull this off?” rest assured, there’s a way to wear barrettes without looking like you’re in middle school…thanks to MACHETE!!

I of course am obsessed with their French Clips—delicate barrettes handmade from eco-friendly acetate and clips from Paris, France. I wanted a pop of color since my hair is so dark so I went with the French Clip in Yellow!!! She measures: 3.75” x .75" and of course is Italian Acetate handmade in France. It’s the perfect clip that’s fitting for my hair texture too. It’s big enough to not get lost in the texture and volume-but not so big I just feel a little out of place or like I am trying too hard.
