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

Now that I have a baby girl, I occasionally look for cute hair accessories to put in her hair when it gets long enough. I discovered these adorable hair clips by Twinkle Kids, Their handmade wool felt hair snaps and bands come in different styles.

Gazzu's Hot Hair Candy is Hot

Erin Behan — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 14:56:00 GMT

Though I'm usually on the lookout for little boys clothing, I got on a girls kick this morning, which is when I stumbled on Gazzu's Etsy site. Ponytail holders sure have come a long way from the brightly colored plastic gumball variety of my youth. And I have to say, I'm happy for the upgrade. In fact, there are so many great fabrics and fabric combos that it's hard picking a favorite. The above is two hair holders in pink cocoa ($6) and below is a set of two hair holders in watermelon ($6). Shop all of Gazzu's hair holders (plus necklaces, rings, headbands and more).

Droolicious: Trash Ties

Mir — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 22:01:00 GMT

Inspired by those twist-ties we've used for years to close up the trash, Heather Bailey's Trash Ties are an ingenious cross between a ponytail holder and a barrette. Their site shows them making all sorts of fancy hairstyles possible for grown-ups, but I immediately realized the world of possibilities this opens up for the styling of cornsilk-fine hair of little girls. I suspect these will become very popular as a easy alternative to barrettes that fall out and ponytail holders that pull too tightly. $12.95 for a set of five online; choose from a variety of colors.

Vintage Kimono Barrettes: When A Scrunchie Just Won't Do

Leigh-Ann Jackson — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 23:00:00 GMT

It's taken nearly three years of brushing, moisturizing and praying, but my daughter finally has enough stubborn little coils to coax into a barrette. This new development calls for something far more special than garden variety drugstore elastics. These one-of-a-kind "plum blossoms" fashioned from vintage Japanese silk kimonos are the perfect way to celebrate my no longer having to explain: "She's a girl."
$16, Craftsbury Kids.

Flowery Felty Hair Clippies

Kelly Mills — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 16:02:00 GMT

I'll go right out on a limb and say that felt is pure magic. It has such a nice weight and texture, even if if doesn't exactly breathe well. That makes it the perfect material for these ruby & myrtle hand-cut, hand-sewn flower felt hair clips ($8.50 each). I'm picturing five or six sunflowers in my kid's hair. She loves it when I dress her up like she's my giant doll.
