  • The inventor has been using barrettes since she was a child. She has thicker hair consistency that would allow for some barrettes to secure her hair. She has always had a problem with some barrettes. They would slip from the original position wherein it was applied. She had purchased and discarded many barrettes because they would not grasp and hold her hair securely. She had invested much money and time in this effort. The inventor discovered that applying a rubber material to the clamping arms of the barrette, held her hair firmly. She cut a rubber floor mat into strips. The strips were cut to fit the inside arms of a barrette. She tried the same rug mat on her twin daughter's barrettes and it did not hold as firmly. Baby fine hair is the most difficult to secure in any type of hair accessory. [0004]
  • The inventor researched several types of materials until she found one that would hold firmly, yet release the hair when the barrette clamp was released. The inventor believes that many woman and children were also experiencing this problem. [0005]

Two additional strips would be attached to the opposite arm of the barrette clamping mechanism. [0009]
