I will use this as my bump just so I can say something about these barrettes. I have three girls and each have differen't types of hair. Each yorkie is differen't and will have differen't textures of hair. My Pia's hair is super thick, Trixie is on the thick side and Paisley still has the fine baby hair going on. I have used both types of barrettes on each girl with no problems at all. I always use a gum band first when doing their hair. Since Paisley's hair is thinner I can put either barrette type right over the band. However, since Pia's hair is super thick this is not possible. All I have to do is take some hair infront of the band and clip the barrette in. I use both types of barrettes all the time and hope no'one gets afraid that these won't work on their baby's hair. The key is to figure out what works best for your baby's hair. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks
