For the first few months, headbands do the heavy lifting. But eventually, hair grows. Wisps become strands. And suddenly, hair clips enter the picture.
When to Start
There's no strict rule, but most babies have enough hair for clips by around nine to twelve months. Some earlier, some later. If the clip slides out immediately, it's too soon. If it grips without pulling, you're good.
What Makes a Good Baby Clip
Smooth closures that don't snag. No sharp edges. Lightweight construction that won't weigh down fine hair. Our hair clips are picked with baby-fine hair in mind: a gentle grip and a smooth, snag-free mechanism.
Clips vs Headbands
Clips are more discreet than headbands. They work well for keeping hair out of eyes during meals and play. Headbands make more of a visual statement. Many parents use both, depending on the outfit and occasion.
The Gift Appeal
The range covers single Fleur flower clips in blush, ivory and fairy floss, the two-piece Blanc Petal sets in lemon and peach, and the three-piece Nola bow clips. Small, pretty and an easy add-on to a bigger gift.
Supervised Wear
For babies under eighteen months, keep clip wear supervised. Remove clips before sleep, car seats, and extended unsupervised play. For toddlers who've demonstrated they leave clips alone, more relaxed wear is fine.
