As I've mentioned, Abbie's hair is very fine. It's growing quite fast on top, but every kind of bow I've put in it - she can shake loose with minimal effort! I'm uncertain as to what's best for very very fine silky hair. I've tried the barrette backs, butterfly metal backs, the clippy kind, and she can get rid of all of them. I have not tried the orthodontist bands, as some have suggested; but - won't those cut her hair?
*sigh* What's the fun of having a li'l gerl if I can't froofie her up?
