| I would give people the option and maybe charge a little extra for the bows with barrette's. Then everyone is happy. I think they are called french barrette's that most people would prefer. I had a hard time finding the tiny one at the craft stores and wound up purchasing them on ebay that way I can always add them if I want to. |

| I have only bought bows on bands before but I have a hard time putting the bows on, so maybe barrettes are better ?

| I think if you did a poll, most people like the barrettes. They just seem easier and they last! -- many once the bands break...you have to find someone to add a barrette on or toss the bow When paying over $3 for a bow..who wants to throw it away! We do a band in the hair and then clip a bow thru the hair...no twisting the bow to get the bands on tight, etc.

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | I personally LOVE the alligator clips. I never ever ever buy bows with bands on the back....because no matter how hard I try, I can NEVER get them straight. Tatum's hair is really thick, and with the french clips, I can't ever get them to close...part of the clip always ends up popping off But with the alligator clips, I never EVER have ANY problems with them. I absolutely LOVE them!!!!!

| I used to think that the barrettes were the easiest and only way to go and then I got a few show bows with bands. Now I use both and don't really have a preference. I agree that offering both options would be a good idea and if you need to charge a bit more for the barrette style those that want this option would most likely be willing to pay a bit more for the convenience. |

| I found bands work better for me. The barettes seems to be to heavy for the bows and would flip them over. Plus, they always fall out. |
