The shape is formed such that the two ends of the flat strip join when in a closed position. The ends of the flat strip have teeth such that the two ends of the flat strip mate when the barrette is in a closed position. The interior of the barrette is provided with a row of teeth in order to grip the hair and prevent it from slipping through the barrette. | |
