Spit Up: Baby Girl Toupees

Lisa Mulcahy — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 20:35:00 GMT

There are too many things wrong with this that I don’t know where to start. Since when did it become unfashionable for baby girls to be bald? A hair+band accessory, Baby Bangs, $29.95 is basically a toupee. As much as I hate headbands in general on babies, this is even more ridiculous. They come customized to fit your baby in a variety of different styles and hair colors.

Talk about a lesson in self-consciousness? And don’t you think it would be weird if someone met your baby one day and she had hair and the next day she wasn’t wearing her Baby Bangs?

Here's the before picture of this poor child. I think she looks beautiful the way she is.

Boy-rettes - Hair Accessories For Long Haired Boys

Chris Ford — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 22:00:00 GMT

I'm not quite sure what to make of this one. As a father of girls, I fully appreciate the need to keep the hair out of my kid's eyes. So I can understand how you would want to keep it out of a boy's eyes too. The Boy-rettes from Kidcosmic.com will definitely get the job done, but a barrette for a boy? I think you will have to be the judge.

Kidcosmic.com not only sells Boy-rettes, but another hair accessory for boys called "Boy Bands" - a kind of a hair band for boys. The Boy Bands look kind of cool to me, but honestly I just can't get behind the Boy-rettes. All I can think of is the sixteen year old boy of the future mortified while looking at pictures of himself in barrettes.

The Boy-rettes come in a skull design (pictured) but there are more designs coming soon.

Skull Boy-rette, $8.50. Boy Bands (various), $13.00 from Kidcosmic.com

QT Clips for Cutie's Hair

SunnyChanel — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 00:35:00 GMT

My longhaired lass loves, and I mean LOVES, barrettes. Instead of just wearing one or two, the girl opts to wear 6 to 8 of them in her hair all at the same time. So needless to say, I am always in the market for good hair accessories. Enter the QT Clips. These chic, fashionable and not at all “frilly” clips come in a very wide array of colors and patterns. Pictured above are the “Chocolate Dream” barrettes made from grosgrain ribbon upon a non-slip clip ($5.50 for one $10 for a pair). You can pick from such styles as polka dots, checks or even a simple solid satin (among many other), plus they have snazzy holidays editions (like x-mas) Check out the variety here and keep that hair out of their eyes.

How My Daughter Got a Mullet or Now That's a Cute Pair of Scissors!

SunnyChanel — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 13:33:00 GMT

As a parent, nearly every day I think to myself, “Yeah, I really should have been paying more attention...” Case in point, this evening my darling long-flaxen-haired daughter was sitting in the kitchen using her brand new scissors to cut shapes out of construction paper. She loves to slice, chop and create and had just this week graduated from a tiny plastic pair to a set of kid friendly safety scissors. My husband was with her but had his back turned while rinsing our dinner dishes. What do I hear a couple minutes later but “Your mom is going to be so maaaaaad…”. Why? Well, because she chopped off half her hair. My daughter now has her very own mullet, albeit, a very hipster “I read Vice and started my own band” sort of way. So if you ARE to trust your toddlers with a pair of scissors make sure to keep an eagle eye on them and while you are at, at least make the pair you get them be cute like these Wild One Stripes Scissors for $4.95 from ShopScissors.com (yes, they ONLY carry scissors!).

If Your Daughter Must Wear a Bow

Erin Behan — Mon, 12 May 2008 19:15:00 GMT

I've never been one for bows in girls hair, but if you've gotta have a bow to solidify the sex of your little one, then my vote is for this number, which features loveable pink and white skull and crossbones on a chocolate brown background. Now grandma can't complain you don't dress her like a girl!

The pink and brown skulls design ($5.99) is from 2 Lil Angels Boutique, which also carries a bevy of more traditional (but not too traditional) bows, headbands and pacifier clips.
