What Kind of Headband Should I Buy?

The easiest way to accessorize a baby girl is with her hair pieces.
Infants don't typically have much hair, so bows are out of the question.

You'll need to have a stock of cute headbands so you can attach flowers and bows that coordinate with her adorable outfits. So what kind of headbands should you get? Here is a quick guide to picking the right headband for your needs.

1.5" Crochet Headband These headbands are definitely the most popular choice for infants. They are extremely soft and the elastic has a lot of give; this ensures that the headband doesn't leave marks on the baby's head. Because the headbands are crocheted, there are natural holes all around the band, lending itself perfectly to bows and flower clips. Alligator and French clips attach easily to crochet headbands. 2.75" Crochet Headband Offering the same benefits as the 1.
5" variety, these headbands are also quite popular.
These are not recommended for newborns or petite babies, as the width of the headband will cover most of their head. This size crochet headband works best for older babies or holding oversized bows or flower clips. Elastic Headband Typically offered only in solid colors, these skinny headbands are sweet and delicate.
If you need to support a large clip, this is not your headband. These work best for small flowers.

Another option is to glue a flower directly to the band.

These headbands look adorable on their own and can be worn in each stage she enters.
Nylon Headband Multiple varieties of nylon headbands are available. Some are a thick polyester blend.

These are typically solid and provide great support for clips of all sizes.

While they are elastic, they still work best if you select the correct size. The other nylon headband option is made out of pantyhose nylon material.
Like crochet headbands, these are unbelievably soft, stretchy, and gentle. Most of these are interchangeable, which means they come with a loop sewn into the band for easy clip attachment.

Hard Headbands These headbands are not recommended for babies since they will not stay in place while lying down. Hard headbands work best for ages three and up.

They can come in several colors or patterns; some have loops sewn on to allow clips to be attached and interchangeable. Choosing the best headband for your baby shouldn't be too difficult. Crochet headbands are always a great choice so order a variety pack online. Select a few other varieties to have on hand for certain outfits.

Be sure to have a selection of flower clips and hair bows to attach to your collection of headbands.
