The ABC's of Headbands
If you prefer the look of a headband, then you're in luck!  Any of Hair Candy Bows products can easily be turned into bowbands.  First, choose your headband, then simply slide the prong of the bow into the headband.
  
The first band is our crochet headband.  It is 1.5" wide and very comfortable on their heads. Fits 0-5yrs.
  
The second is a knit/nylon headband.  This has the feel of little girl's tights. It has a ribbon loop for attaching the bows.  It fits 0-3yrs.
  
The cotton/lycra headband also has a ribbon loop for attaching bows. It fits 0-3 yrs.
  
The woven headband is perfect for toddler through adult.  You can easily slide the prong of the clip into this headband as well. 




What clip should I choose?
If your little one has fine, thin hair then the pinch clip is your best option.  You may also request a gripper to be placed inside the clip to help the bow stay in place.
For the bigger heavier bows we suggest the French clip
The bows can also be attached to a pony-o.  The pony-o is an elastic band that is metal free and safe for the hair.
