Hey Georgie, thank you so much for taking the time to leave your honest thoughts. We truly appreciate your feedback and totally agree that the LUCIE is not our lightest style. If this is your first time trying our pieces, it can take some time to get use to the clip. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any further issues or would like some personalised tips. If you are ever interested in other pieces, we highly recommend trying our lighter styles as they are the perfect beginner pieces.
