Making Hair Accessories Last

Talk about hair-owing. There's nothing worse than spending top dollar on hair accessories, only to have them disappear after just one wear. Ribbons, bows, barrettes and headbands are just some of the standard hair staples that are part of every girl's wardrobe. The problem is keeping track of these fancy frills when they're at the mercy of your children. When you do your child's hair, secure all accessories in tightly so that your child can't easily remove them. This way, your daughter is more likely to arrive home with her girlie gear still intact. Make a routine out of removing accessories. You'll want to have catch-all container for your child's things. You'll find tackle box storage containers at Target or Wal-Mart in the beauty aisle -- these are perfect for storing hair accessories. If you don't want to spend any money, a basket will also do the trick.
