For hair with opinions

Baby hair clips on soft snap clasps, made for fine baby and toddler hair rather than scaled down from adult clips. The range covers daisy duos, small florals and simple bow clips, all on narrow bases that grip a few strands without the yanking that comes with a standard snap clip.

Clips take over around the time a toddler works out that a headband can simply be removed. A clip sits lower, draws less attention, and holds a fringe out of the eyes during meals and craft, which is usually the actual objective. They are also the easiest thing in the range to lose, so most people buy them in pairs.

Before there is enough hair to clip, the tiny bows do the same job on a soft band, and the full headbands and bows range covers everything in between. For warm days, add a brim from sun hats and sun protection. Australian owned, shipped from Melbourne.

How much hair is enough for a clip to hold? More than people expect. A snap clip needs a decent pinch of hair to hold properly, which usually means somewhere past twelve months, though plenty of babies get there much earlier. If the clip slides straight back out, there is not enough to grip yet and a soft band is the better option for now.

Are clips safe for babies? With supervision, yes. A clip is a small object with a metal base, so it belongs on the head rather than in a cot, a pram or a car seat where it can come loose unnoticed. Take them out before sleep every single time, and check the clasp occasionally for any sharp edge as it wears.

How do I stop losing them? You will lose some. Keeping them in a small tin rather than loose in a nappy bag helps, and clipping the spare onto the bag strap means there is always one within reach. Buying a pair rather than a single is the realistic approach, since a lone clip tends to look like an accident.
