What To Look For When Buying Hair Clips For Baby Girls

By Lena Stephenson


If you have a new daughter, niece or cousin you may be looking forward to all of the fun clothing and accessories that you can buy. Often times, you will want to use cute accessories to style your new girl's hair and the right accessories can make a difficult task much easier. Here is what you need to know if you are buying hair clips for baby girls.

The kind of hair a child has will really influence what your options are. You do not want to use very large clips or elastics if a child has very little hair. You may be surprised to learn that some babies will have almost a full head of tresses right from birth while others tend to need to wait to let theirs grow in a little. Some will have strands all over and others may have growth limited to specific parts of their head. All infants tend to have very fine locks which can make it difficult for some accessories to stay in for very long.

It is very important to pick accessories that are easy to use one handed. Even if you are able to open it before you put it in the hair, you may find that it is difficult to close certain barrettes or accessories easily. When you are trying to do so holding hair or a squirmy baby with the other hand it can lead to a frustrating experience that many parents will want to avoid.

The right accessory is one that will be comfortable for a young girl to wear. Some can be hard or may pull at the locks when they are in. If you have a tired baby on your hands, this can spell trouble. Look for soft items that can be removed easily and which will not tangle in the child's locks. It can mean less of a struggle if you need to remove them at the end of the day.

Don't be surprised if the child doesn't want to wear the accessory at first. If they are not used to having their hair tied back they may not like the feeling of you trying to gather it together and clip it in place. This is where patience can be a lifesaver. If you know that you want to have the little girl wear a particular item at a particular time, it can be worthwhile to try and put it on her a few times so that she gets used to wearing it and is less fussy about having it in her hair.

Some babies will completely refuse to have certain items in their hair. The good news is that there are many different options to choose from for your child. There are clips, barrettes, headbands, elastics and many other items that can make a child's tresses look adorable. You may find that if you are creative you will find new and interesting ways to use accessories that your child will allow on her head.

Finding the actual accessories and clips themselves isn't hard. Don't be afraid to look at websites that specialize in children's clothing. They may have items that match specific outfits and have generic options as well that will look cute with different clothing.

Once you have a few items the real fun can begin. Try mixing and matching or using several small clips to hold small sections of the hair. This can be great if a child has sparse locks or hairs that are very short. In no time at all, you will be able to create beautiful looks for your new baby girl.
