These are intriguing enough that I had to order one. She didn't have a lot of different ribbon to choose from but we'll give this one a shot and let everyone know how it works for us!

I got mine the other day, and its ADORABLE and it stays in great!! it doesnt hold alot of hair, its more for cuteness then holding back hair. but it DOES stay in!

Well, I do plan on still putting Tatum's hair in a topknot first - it's a pretty thin one. Will this still wrap around that?

I have just received the bows that I ordered and they are adorable, though I can't get them into my girl's hair. I will give it another shot tomorrow. I wish the area that holds the hair was a bit bigger, this way I could get more hair into it....otherwise I really like them. Nice quality and very pretty IMO

Hey everyone,

After seeing this thread, I purchased some snap bows and they came in the mail today but after fidgeting with them for a while, I still can't figure out how to use them. They came with no instructions. I wrote the girl who sells them asking for a refund. I just don't understand how to use them. It's as if they are too small and Niyah does not have thick hair either.

If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it so much so I don't have to send them back for a refund.

I'm having the same problem. I finally managed to get one in each of their hair but they are a bit crooked but it was the best I could do. Am I doing something wrong?

mnewco · 11-14-2009, 05:11 PM

I don't think you did anything wrong. From what I am reading from others posting, that they don't work for some of us because there is not enough space between the snaps so I emailed her asking if I can get a refund. I hope she says yes. If not, I will have to sell them because there is no sense in keeping something Niyah cannot use.

I take a comb and part Bailey's hair on both sides and then twist it together in the middle of his head and add the bow. I loved them and ordered more, so I have 5 now. Here is a pic with a snap on bow.

That's what I did and even though Zoe has pretty thin hair, it's really hard to get it around without it getting in the way of the snap. Did you buy bigger one's? I'm wondering if the ones I bought are too small for us?

mnewco · 11-14-2009, 06:40 PM

I talked to the owner of the bows and she is giving me a refund as soon as I send them back.

I am going to have to look for something else to work on the net. There has to be other choices out there.

No, they are all the same size, I just stretch the elastic over the hair and snap it in. I'm sorry you have problems with yours.

PeggyM1621 · 11-15-2009, 05:12 PM

I was able to get a bow in my girl's hair today. It took two people to do it though

and it was a little crooked. I have been trying to stretch out the elastic, but I don't know if it is working. Anyway, I will continue to try and use them and hopefully will get to a point where I don't need help when putting them in

PeggyM1621 · 11-16-2009, 06:44 PM

I am getting better

I was able to put the bows in my dog's hair all by myself the last two times I tried. I will definitely be getting more of these. I bought five already and think they are adorable! She seems to like them better than the rubberband bows and they really stay.

I was having a problem with the hair getting in the way of the snap too. What is working for me is to twist the hair and then once you put the bow around the hair pull the bow side so that the snap is unblocked, then pull the elastic side so that it can be snapped. I hope I explained that right

I found that it really helped to keep practicing. Good luck!
