A popular type of barrette is described having a rigid bar, a tongue generally parallel to the bar, and a resilient strip between the bar and the tongue for gripping a lock of hair. There is a latch in the form of a resilient member upstanding from the bar having a latching top over the end of the tongue when in use. A finger-piece extends from the latching tip lengthwise away from the tongue. Squeezing the finger-piece toward the bar swings the latching tip in an arc approximately at right angles to the squeezing force, releasing the latched end of the tongue.
