I've used both and I was partial to barrettes (the french kind), but I just bought some bows that only come with bands and I found them very easy to put on and they seemed to stay. You only use one of the bands on the back and I only wrapped mine twice. What I did was put it in and then take my comb that has the metal pick thingy at the end (I think it's called a rattail comb) and pull the band out so I could get it around one more time. I got it over the band that was in Sophie's hair already and it was pretty secure. |
