Last week, we put our black hair elastic in the bathroom cupboard and secured our half-up half-down hairstyle with Pilgrim’s Amaris Recycled Sculptural Barrette instead. And now, we can’t seem to stop from pulling out our travel-size mirror (you don’t have one?!) and popping into the ladies for a quick look at the back of our head in the bathroom mirror. Trust us, if we were better at selfies, we’d take one of the back of our head.
That’s because Pilgrim’s Scandinavian-meets-Canadian hair accessories are as pretty as their jewellery. They feel chic and effortless, not precious. And our new silver barrette (it also comes in gold) is doing the job.
With its bold, curved silhouette and smooth, polished surface, it gives a cool, liquid-metal look that feels more like a fashion statement than the practical functionality of keeping our hair out of our face (which it is also doing). Plus, it’s crafted from 99 per cent recycled materials, so our inner do-gooder loves that. Yet, what we truly appreciate is its versatility. We can do the half-up half-down thing, as well as use it to secure a sleek pony or a low twist. Quickly and easily too. And we don’t feel one bit lazy about our hair now, like we sometimes do when we wear the black hair elastic. The barrette makes every hairstyle look intentional. Even when we’re in a rush.
Pilgrim Amaris Recycled Sculptural Barrette, in silver and in gold, $25 each, available online at www.pilgrim.ca.
