barrettes

Small hair fasteners

Barrettes are clips or clasps used to hold hair in place, typically decorative.

They come in countless styles—from simple metal clips to ornate designs with rhinestones or bows.

The word is more common in American English; British speakers often say hair slides or hair clips.
