Girls' 6-Inch Bow Hair Clip, Large Colorful Barrette

A six-inch bow is not subtle, and that is the entire point. This is the oversized statement bow for birthdays, dance recitals, pageants and photographs, in a size that reads clearly from across a room or through a camera lens.

What defines it

• Six-inch span, considerably larger than an everyday bow
• Bright colouring designed to photograph well
• Clip fastening strong enough to carry the weight of a bow this size
• Suits occasions, performances and photo days
• Elegant shaping rather than a flat, folded ribbon

A bow this size needs a decent section of hair to anchor to. On very fine hair, clip it into a small ponytail rather than loose hair, which gives the fastening something to hold.

Quick answers

Is six inches too big for a toddler? It is a statement size. On a very small child it will be prominent, which is usually the intention for photographs.

Will it stay in fine hair? Better if clipped into a ponytail or plait rather than loose hair. The weight needs something to anchor into.

Is it suitable for everyday wear? It can be, though most families keep a bow this size for occasions.
