[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 377788, member: 5833"]I call them hair clamps. Much of the time I wind my hair up & use a huge, sort of round one to hold it off my neck & out of my face. The Beatles' being reported as saying they liked girls to have long straight hair made my previously unfashionable 'string straight hair' an asset instead of a liability, released me from rollers & hair dryers. Eventually had hair down to my backside. Now that I am, ahem, of a certain age, my hair has developed a rippling wave. Everywhere except the section next to the right side of my face. Bother. Clamping it up solves it all. When I really want to control it, I use a barrette with the same kind of mechanism as Charlie's (am I correct this is a character in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?), making a low ponytail with the barrette upside down, then pull it up & clamp it. Barrette then faces out the right way. I envy the Greek goddesses, with their masses of curls that seem to look good no matter what you do with them.[/QUOTE]
