I bought two of the Jumbo Barrettes for my sister - who indicated she only wanted a "small" present for her 60th. She has amazing long, red hair! Even at 60! Anyway, this is a high quality "small" gift that wows. I was so pleased with its quality, design, color, weight, etc - I purchased two more within the next two weeks after the first order arrived. Once, I got my eyes and hands on the product and in my hair. Perfect for the "aging" thick hair person. So kinda between a youthful "thick" and "medium". A bit towards the thick end of the spectrum. So many barrettes do not clip on my hair because I'm just a bit too thick. The new duo, one for me and another for a "mature" friend. For comparison, a step above France Luxe out of Paris France - which I used to buy some but I have a new favorite! Finally, $60 for a damn barrette???!!! Just fork it over - you are getting a deal!! This barrette looks amazing, is NOT going to break when you drop it and the clasp is not going to go haywire and dysfunctional in two weeks. Two thumbs up!!
