Clips

I'm re-entering the world of pretty but practical hair accessories for Naomi. As she was born with a head of hair, I started using hair clips from a very early age to keep the hair out of her eyes. But as she got a bit older she just kept pulling them out and they didn't stay in for more than 2 seconds so it defeated the purpose as her hair was still always in her eyes. So if you looked at the fine detail in photos of her for the past 6 months or so, you would have seen that I swapped to using hair ties to tie it back (there was a transition period of using a hair tie and clip to hold it out the way). Now that she is older I'm giving hair clips a go again, as they do look nicer than a plain hair tie (and there is no chance of the 'hair stick out the side of the head' problem that happens with the hair ties at times). The clips are definitely staying in longer - long enough for them to be an effective way of keeping the hair out of her eyes, and as the novelty wears off I hope the only time they will come out is when it is time to take it out or it falling out due to vigorous activity (which is Joanna's problem). And she is an accessories girl (whenever we enter a pumpkin patch store she goes straight to the accessories display and selects at bag and hat/headband/jewelry to wear around the store), so likes to look at and wear all the pretty clips.
