I have recently gotten a number of questions about barrettes for thicker hair.  In my personal exprience, a slightly larger barrette back will hold more hair.  With either of these two barrettes, I can put my braided pony tail, folded twice, up on the back of my head.  They hold it with no problems and with stand a lot of movement.

The barrette on the left is on a 3 1/2 inch barrette back, so it is a little longer then the barrettes that you find in the local store.  The barrette on the right has a wider space between the back of the barrette and the piece that holds the hair in the barrette.

  This picture is of the barrettes on the side.  It shows the difference in the space in the middle of the barrette.
