Thread: Barrettes for toddlers

Okay seriously people--has anybody ever found clips or barrettes for toddlers that actually work? I'm trying to grow Addy's bangs out, and they're getting to the point where they're really in her eyes without something to hold them back. But everything--EVERYTHING--I've put in just slides out within a half hour or so. She is fine with hair stuff, but reasonably picky (she would not like boring brown or black adult clips or bobby pins).

It's really frustrating, and we have at least several more months before it'll be long enough to push behind her ears. Please help!

What about these kind? zakka life: Craft: Applique Patch Hair Clips

I bought some of the little actual rubber bands for Madison's hair. love them. They don't slip out.

Rubberbands are much easier when their hair is just growing out. Barrettes always fell out of Lily's hair. You could get some pretty colored rubberbands that she would probably like.

Nope, that clip kind slides right out. I need something that's, like, rubberized!

We do use rubberbands for ponytails and pigtails...hadn't thought about them just to keep bangs back. Maybe those super duper tiny rubber ones...Hmmmm....

You could put them in little pig tails just up towards the front so it doesn't look so strange.

I found some little "claw" clips. What the heck are they called ... Do you know what I mean? Anyway, I found tiiiiny ones at Target in bright colors. They stick in T's hair longer than barrettes.

I use the tiny 'no pull' elstics from the dollar store. They are not the best quality, but it is the only thing that will hold Juliet's hair.

I know what you mean, Erin. I was thinking those might work better...I only have adult-colored ones, though, and she gets mad if I put them in her hair (Brown!? The horror!) I'll have to look for the colorful ones.

I tried to put a rubber band in today but I couldn't figure out how to not make it look ridiculous right in the front of her hair like that.

Braid it?

I will try that when I get smaller rubber bands. The ones we have are good for ponytails and pigtails but would look ridiculous on a tiny thing like braided bangs.
