She wore them right away. Headbands since she had hair but not enough for bows. If people were coming over, we were taking pictures, going out, etc she had one on. I would take it off for most of the day.

We love bows! She started wearing them from the start. We did the crochet headbands and alligator clip bows a lot, right from the start.

Never never never. I personally find they look utterly ridiculous.

@LindsayInNY: Are you having a girl? !?!?!??

I never had her wear any in the beginning. I had an irrational fear that headbands would dent her head! instead she wore lots of cute beanies and then sun hats. Now that her hair is longer I love doing bow barrettes everyday! They keep her bangs out of her eyes!

@mrskc just started a shop to sell the headbands and bows she makes!

We used headbands a bit, and bows/clips once her hair was a little longer. Now we use barrettes or ponytail holders- but she doesn't keep them in well anymore.

I only did bows when her hair was in her eyes. Headbandss never worked because she had too much hair.
I really don't like the glue on bows.
We got most of our from etsy.

Never, until her hair got so long it was in her eyes all the time. We used to use clips to hold it back, but she won't keep them in now so we defaulted to the tiny rubber bands. They're a PITA to get in and out without hurting her, though. If it weren't for the fact that she collects food and snot and who knows what else on her hair when it's loose, I would almost never bother with hair things.

@BandDmommy: nope http://www.babywisp.com/

I never had LO wear them as a baby bc I couldn't be bothered and now at 2.5 she won't have anything to do with them. So I think if you want to do bows/headbands, definitely get into the habit early.

She wore them from the beginning! I just love little bows and got addicted to making them myself. She mostly just wears them for a picture or if we are out somewhere. I don't like to keep them on her for Long or while I'm not watching because she'll grab them and pull the bow down in her eyes.

I bought a ton for Chloe then never really wore them on her. Then she played with them as a toddler & they all fell apart, so I don't have any for Charlotte!

Anyway - I find them to be a complete PITA. I'd put a headband style bow in their hair for a special occasion but not every day use.

Always tiny bows and headbands. I like really simple small ones, so I just stocked up on barrettes and headbands in a variety of colors and we still use a lot of them now, months later. I got all cheap ones, and we lose them constantly.

Stretchy headbands with flowers or bows, pretty much every day for two little girls. I loved making ours to match specific outfits. For my girls, starting with hair things when they were babies has made them more tolerant of it as they get older.

@mrskc: love your bows! I need to order some!

@LindsayInNY: congrats on a little girl!! Yay!!

My LO never liked bows or head bands much, but had long hair that got in her eyes if I didn't pull it back. The solution for us was tiny elastics. Sometimes I put in a bow on top of an elastic, but I rarely use bows on their own. I never used headbands because she didn't like them.

My LO wore headbands until she had enough hair to clip, then I started with clips so her hair didn't fall in her face. However she refuses any and all hair accessories now! Not sure why she hates them.

DD has worn headbands almost everyday since the day she was born. I bought them mostly on amazon. Since she has always wears them they don't bother her. If she does pull them off, she tries to put it back on.

I always imagined elastic headbands were uncomfortable so I rarely put those on her when she was really small. I love plain grosgrain ribbon bows best but she does have a stash of seasonal shaped ribbon clips. Now that she's older (just about 2) I like hard headbands too. I've gotten bows and hair accessories at Janie and Jack and other kid's stores and on etsy and Amazon. She asks for a bow or headband every morning!
