I have to twist the rubber bands around so many times I tend to break them, and the metal clips are heavy and her hairs seems to thin. I am looking for bows with the plastic barrettes on the back. They are the cheap kind that I find at wallmart in the baby section, I sometimes cut the embellishment off and put a dog bow in it's place. but I don't sew and it a hassle. Do you have those type of clips, I also have two friends that like that type of clasp. |
Thanks for the kind words about my product. I can see your bow backing problem - bands require too much twisting and the metal clips are too heavy for Lola. I use the metal clips & barrettes since they are quite durable but I can see the weight is an issue for her. While I suspect the plastic ones may not be quite as long lasting (strong) as the metal ones, I can see the definite need for them in some cases. So, thanks for bringing this to my attention!
What I am going do is stock some plastic barrettes. I've already sourced out a few options and will place an order shortly. As soon as they arrive, I'll be sure to add them to the website as an alternate bow backing. Then they can be added to any bow on the website - just as the metal alligator clips and French barrettes are now. Hope that helps somewhat to solve your dilemma!
By the way, I presume this is the sort of thing you are looking for - a plastic barrette as shown below. If it's not, please let me know and I'll see what else I can find.
