The Ingenue

This slender barrette, with its streamlined design and metal clasp is the simplest of all hair ties. Delicate and discreet, it elevates the nobility of a braid, tames a few unruly strands, or ensures the hold of a ponytail. Do not be fooled by its innocent appearance – it is clever enough to capture even the most stubborn locks.

Description

Since the dawn of time, ever since hair first appeared on earth (and atop countless heads), the realm of hairstyling has never ceased to evolve. Through the ages, following trends, and sometimes breaking conventions, hairstyling has become an art form. Egyptian women with their elaborate hairstyles of a thousand plaits or Marie Antoinette with her towering headdresses reaching up to the heavens cannot attest otherwise.

The five great pillars of the art of hairstyling are: knowledge of hair, mastery of the gesture, patience, the perfect tools, and creativity. Like sculpture, this art transforms a daily gesture, which for some can feel like a chore, into a refined and poetic ritual. Under the fairy-like touch of a skilled hairdresser or an expert stylist, hair becomes a true ephemeral masterpiece, endowing every face with a haughty allure. Whether you like your hair tidy, naturally beautiful, or extravagantly wild, colourful or tousled, the Officine has a collection of combs, clips, and acetate accessories to delight and suit every hairstyle.

A true hair-jewel, The Ingenious is discreet... but will never go unnoticed! Carved from a very high-quality acetate, it elevates simple-looking hairstyles with a single gesture, giving loose hair that touch of structure it may lack. Long braids, ponytails, and other everyday hair creations are transformed into compositions with an extraordinary aura - your well-kept secret. Both subtle and practical, The Ingenious and its slender silhouette capture all or part of your mane, as you prefer, without ever imposing its presence.

Available in two colours, tortoiseshell or ivory, this clip will undoubtedly find the ideal hair for its clasp!

The Officine's prowess

The Officine has the largest collection of beauty accessories in the world on its shelves: hundreds of combs and brushes for all types of hair or beards, bath accessories (horsehair gloves, embroidered pumice stones, wooden brushes…) but also make-up brushes, toothbrushes or razors…
Often customizable, these beauty accessories become essential when it comes to brushing, scrubbing, shaving, detangling or even applying make-up with care. The Officine Universelle Buly has travelled across the world in search of these daintily crafted tools for body, face and hair care. These treasures are often handcrafted by talented artisans.

Advice for Use & Care

Vigorously (yet gently) detangle your hair before meticulously braiding it, creating a neatly pulled sleek low ponytail, or pinning up two symmetrical locks for a perfectly composed, effortlessly casual look. Position the hair clip by gathering the desired section of hair, then close the metal clasp with a firm motion to ensure the strands hold perfectly in place. Admire this your new princely hairstyle and the confidence it restores.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

This barrette can be cleaned with a cloth and a little water when needed. A little tip known to opticians: being a natural fibre, acetate must be moisturized twice a year with a rich substance such as shea or coconut butter. It is not recommended to expose acetate to sudden changes in temperature or to high temperatures.

Composition

Cellulose acetate is a luxurious material invented in 1865 by Paul Schützenberger and then perfected at the beginning of the 20th century by two Swiss chemists, Camille and Henry Dreyfus. Generally extracted from cotton, this natural polymer is inherently endowed with several properties that make it the perfect component for the comb of the Officine: soft to the touch, it is perfectly resistant to water and the passage of time.
