what are these things?

[ilovexnerdsx]

when browsing style.com and seeing pictures from backstage at many of the fashion shows, a lot of times the models have these white paper looking things clipped in their hair just over their ear.

i might be stupid, but what are these and what is the point of them?

To keep the hair back and the paper is a buffer so that lines are not formed from the pressure of the clips.

Those are hair clips with hair roller paper underneath. This is to prevent the clip from crimping or leaving an impression on the hair.

how come she posed with them in?

Someone thought it was fashionable! Definitely grabs your eye, but if I saw it on the street I'd think that person left home in too much of a hurry to finish their look.

I would imagine that the paper is under there to keep the hair from getting crimped from the barrette.

Exactly. If you ever see any of the photo sites like Getty Images or WireImage you see tons of backstage photos of models. They just pose whenever a photographer wants to snap a shot of them.

Then I'd say this "Lucky/Great lighting!"
