"I purchased these for a Beach Baby-themed baby shower. I wanted to keep it more beach-themed than luau-themed, and these barettes totally accomplished that. I took them out of the bag the night before, prepared to have to fluff them up as others wrote, but it was totally unneccesary. I had to snip a few hot glue strands, but that's about it.
They worked great, staying in everyone's hair and looking great in short and long hair, on younger and older women. The one woman who didn't want to wear it as a barette wore it as a pin and it looked great.
They are cute and are very affordable. I would definitely buy them again!"
