I really like zouzou baby on etsy, and luluLuvs, also on etsy.</p> <p>ETA it's cold here so she only wears a bow if I think it looks really cute with her outfit. In the warm weather I think I will do one most days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471573 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 15:25:30 +0000 JerricaBenton 2471573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got bundles of bows and clips from amazon. She has a grosgrain ribbon bow in almost every color. She wears those most days. I'll buy special clips or headbands at craft shows and local boutiques. She loves hair accessories so she wants to wear something every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471566 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 15:22:11 +0000 ShootingStar 2471566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@schubr03: Great tip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471474 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:41:04 +0000 pregnantbee 2471474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooooh, same boat as you, fellow August mama :) Following since I need the same help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471422 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:24:03 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2471422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only maybe once or twice a month. At this point, DD just pulls them off very quickly! She is almost 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471401 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:16:51 +0000 sweetooth 2471401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice here - two boys and I still get a little teary at never having the chance to indulge in the cute girl clothing or accessories. Congratulations again and so happy for you that you'll have a little girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471396 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:15:21 +0000 Dahlia 2471396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't, but she's a little baldy. I'm too practical for headbands now, but I'm sure once she has more hair we'll do clips/bows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471382 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:10:40 +0000 schubr03 2471382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, some advice. If you want to out a headband on your little a lot but don't want to break the bank buying a ton of headbands, get the basic colors. White, black, Navy, silver, and pink if you think you'll be putting her in a lot of it. That way you always have a headband to match outfits! 🎀😊 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471380 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:10:08 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2471380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I have a baldy, and I also alike the wide lace ones. Since I've done it since she was born, she doesn't pull at them unless they are loose and slip over her eyes. She is almost 7 months. I got mine on Zulily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471359 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:58:51 +0000 schubr03 2471359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello! I put a headband on my little girl everyday! I LOVE to shop small. I use Etsy shops. Two of my favorites are PortiasCloset and DizzyIzzyBee. I love all of their bows! </p> <p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PortiasCloset?ref=search_shop_redirect" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/shop/PortiasCloset?ref=search_shop_redirect</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/DizzyIzzyBee?ref=search_shop_redirect" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/shop/DizzyIzzyBee?ref=search_shop_redirect</a></p> <p>Here are some photos with examples of bows from those shops. </p> [attach=6988/16/o30kq4.600x600.image.jpeg] [attach=6988/16/o30kq5.480x600.image.jpeg] [attach=6988/16/o30kq6.600x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471356 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:56:06 +0000 petitenoisette 2471356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was never really into headbands though I definitely think they're cute. A friend gave me a few more recently but then I realized that she has too much hair for them to work! </p> <p>I finally realized hairclips were the way to go and bought her several on Etsy because her hair was constantly in her face. So now she wears those all the time. I feel sort of bad it took me so long to realize she legit needed them to keep the hair out of her face! Thankfully she doesn't mess with them but you do have to adjust them periodically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471343 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:50:15 +0000 Rocker2014 2471343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not usually, though I was hoping to do so before she was born! E was born in the Northeast in October, so she needed a hat every time she left the house until she was 6 months old, and I was never organized enough to remember to bring a headband to put on her after I took off her hat. As soon as it got warm, she decided that anything on her head was fair game for grabbing and throwing. We did get some professional pics at 7 months where she kept on the headband for a few of them. </p> <p>At 16 months now, she still doesn't have enough hair for clips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471342 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:49:26 +0000 MenagerieMama 2471342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Headbands for special occasions/photos when she was younger, she would pull them off if not watched closely. Now she has just enough hair to put her baby mullet into pigtails which is adorable, but she hates having anything in her hair. So I bring hair ties to whatever distractable environment we're going to and do her hair when we get there and keep an eye that she doesn't pull them out! She wants to rock the free flowing mullet :silly: I just bought the hair ties from walgreens - they're fuzzy ones that don't rip her hair and grip her fine hair enough to stay in for a while if she leaves them alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471331 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:46:36 +0000 fussygal 2471331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she was little I used to do bow clips all the time, not so much headbands. Now that she's older (23 months) she usually pulls them out :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471328 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:45:33 +0000 avivoca 2471328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She loves hairbows now that she's bigger. I get mine from a local lady, Target, and Walmart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471325 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:44:17 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2471325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never headbands, always hair ties, sometimes bows. Headbands pretty much only work on bald babies and make my hairy monkeys look silly.</p> <p>I used to do bows everyday but now I only do them for occasions when the girls are more dressed up.</p> <p>Three girls with a ton of hair is too many bows to keep track of.</p> <p>I usually get bows off of Etsy. Sometime locally if I see something cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471312 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:39:12 +0000 snowjewelz 2471312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Esp since DD had no hair! She was in headbands till close to a year and then she started yanking them off so we moved onto hair clips! </p> <p><a href="http://bloomieshandmade.com/" rel="nofollow">http://bloomieshandmade.com/</a></p> <p>I really like this site and she has regular sales! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471307 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:36:20 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2471307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She wears headbands when we leave the house if she has one that matches her outfit. When she has more hair I'll switch to bows. :) I love bows. Hopefully she'll get used to wearing one and not protest having one on as she gets older.</p> <p>ETA: I bought several headbands from mrskc's etsy shop (Lily Girl Designs). My aunt made some for DD and we were given clips in every color from a friend. I might have to learn how to make them myself. According to my aunt it's pretty easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471279 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:26:22 +0000 Littlebit7 2471279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a girl who was born with a TON of hair. A ton. At 3-4 months I needed a clip to keep it out of her eyes. She didn't like headbands nor would they stay on. So yes, clips and boys are a necessity at our house (which is ironic given I am a total tomboy with a pixie haircut who NEVER wore bows or clips) I buy a lot from amazon in bulk as they are cheap and I just toss the ugly ones. I like the alligator clip type. at 11 months she is just now starting to tear them out 50% of the time. I also use the clear plastic elastics for ponytails. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471277 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:24:59 +0000 Torchwood 2471277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I remember I put one on before we go out, and sometimes for pictures. At this point when she's bored she likes to pull them down over her eyes and then get upset, so I can't have them on her in the car or anytime I'm not in position to watch her.</p> <p>I get mine at hobby lobby. I prefer the wider lace ones that don't look like they're digging into her head, and they have a ton. </p> [attach=3674/16/o30j5n.450x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471266 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:10:49 +0000 whiskers 2471266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost never. Sometimes for pictures, but mostly it's too much hassle and once they can grab at them they pull them off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471258 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:04:25 +0000 LindsayLou 2471258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use headbands daily. Only a couple times a month really. I'm trying to use them more so she's used to them when she's older. My baby is 6 months. Bows don't stay in at all yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471257 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:04:16 +0000 cheert16 2471257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! It was easier when she was tiny to put on headbands and she would leave them. Now that she is a bit older (14 months) and from when she was like 11 months- she rips the bows, ponytails and headbands out of her hair. I only put them in for special occasions and I dont want her to be bald from ripping her hair out too!</p> <p>ETA: I bought a bunch of headbands from amazon- they came from china and took awhile to ship but they were pretty cheap and were perfect for her! I also bought a pack of 40 bows from an instagram seller for like $20 shipped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headbands-and-bows#post-2471251 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:01:14 +0000 ShootingStar 2471251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have a girl, do you put them in bows or headbands every day? I'm used to being a boy mom and I'm pregnant with a girl. It's fun to think about all the new accessories and fun stuff I get to buy, but it's also a little overwhelming. Boys clothes are easy!</p> <p>Also, what stores do you like to buy accessories from? </p>
