Ever had someone call your baby girl a "cute baby boy?" This is actually a common scenario so don't be offended. This is especially true if your baby is still in her first 6 months when she hasn't developed enough hair yet. For most mommies, to prevent embarrassment, using pink baby hair accessories, typically a hair bow is the best way to show that they have a girl.
Unfortunately, choosing the right baby hair accessories is a lot more difficult than one can imagine. It's more than just choosing the best design. A parent has to consider not only the size, but also its practicality.
Babies get irritated easily so if a hair bow is too small, it be painful. You'll also need to look at the material of the hair accessory. It is best to stay away from metals because these can pinch your baby's soft head. If will press too hard on their developing skull and may even cause problems on your child's development. Aside from this, you'll probably find it more difficult to make your baby wear other kinds of baby hair accessories in the future if they were uncomfortable with the first hair bow they tried. Hence, if you want to show off your baby's cuteness, then choose your baby's hair accessories carefully.
On the practical side, a head band may be more appropriate for an infant than a hairpin, seeing that they have very little hair that can attach to. Also, you should look at the additional features offered. For example, some baby hair items are no-slip, hence you don't have to worry about reattaching them (which can be a struggle) or losing a pair.
Of course, the best thing about buying baby hair items is there are so many designs to choose from, depending on your mood (or perhaps, the next holiday approaching). There is the traditional flowery design which is perfect for the coming spring, or bunny ears head band for Easter Sunday. There may also be crocheted accessories, boutique baby bows and couture clippies which you can use for any occasion! There are polka dots, bows in solid colors and those with large or small prints for easy days at the park. There are also hair accessories which are studded with Swarovski crystals which are perfect for a night out with mommy and daddy. With the number of choices available, surely you'll find something that will interest you.
It doesn't matter if you're going to the mall, attending a party or just staying home with your little one. Sometimes, all you need to do is to dress her up and use your newly-bought baby hair accessories and you'll surely understand why babies are described as "adorable." A simple clippie can change their look and can make a world of difference. Imagine, now you can laugh and have fun with your baby by just letting them wear a silly head band. Now that's one thing about parenthood that you'll surely love.
