I don’t post pictures of my kids very often but if you’ve seen the few pics that I have posted of Princess, then you’ve seen that child’s hair. It’s very long and very fine. She was 4 years old before I even gave her so much as a trim and I’ve only done it twice more since then.

I love her hair. Its gorgeous. But its also impossible to do anything with! Those little clippy barrettes don’t stay in. Even ponytails don’t stay in. The only success I’ve had is braiding it.

Then I heard about Maiden America Non-Slip barrettes. When I was given the chance to review these, I mentioned it on Twitter and one of my Twitter people said “Let me know if they really are no-slip!”

They ARE! I did a little experiment. One morning I sent Princess to school with her regular clippy things in her hair. They were falling out before we even got to school. FAIL.

The next day, I did her hair using the Maiden America barrettes. They stayed in all.day. I kid you not! And I know they stayed in all day because when her barrettes fall out, she shoves them in her pocket or backpack because she can’t put them back in.

Cheap clippy things: 0

And not only are these truly non-slip, they’re also beautiful! We tried several different styles and sizes. Princess has a pretty white floral barrette, a hot pink pair with crystals, a black and pink small one, a light blue one…pretty much something to match every one of her outfits. Maiden America has small flowers, big flowers, bows, velvet, satin and crystals and pearls. If you have a little girl who doesn’t have a lot of hair yet, you’ll want to get the tiny ones. And if you have a little girl with a lot of hair or thick hair, definitely go for the larger sizes. Like I said, we tried various sizes so we could use them to hold back just a little bit of hair at the sides or a big chunk of hair on top.

Princess and I both love these. She’s such a girly girl and she likes it when her hair looks pretty and, honestly, so do I. Its so much more fun than just throwing her hair back into a ponytail. Now we have both style and function.

Now my Princess doesn’t just act like a Princess…she looks like one too!
