My baby's hair has finally grown enough to clip bows in it! Comfortably anyways because she was able to wear them before, but I didn't think it would be fun for her to have a bow stuck to 3 pieces of hair. Kind of like when you put your ponytail in a hairband and there is one hair not positioned right that pulls at your scalp and hurts? No thanks. She still wears the bands with bows but it's nice to have the option now. She isn't used to it though and she pulls them out. After months, almost years now, of struggling to keep the bow band on her head and having to continuously put them back on so much, I quit trying altogether. Of course she now prefers them and puts them on herself when given the chance. I'll never win.
