When I was a baby I was bald. I mean, really bald. By my
first birthday the crop on my head could hardly be called peach fuzz. My mom
who had wished with all her might for a baby girl resigned herself to scotch
taping bows onto my little head.
When I first learned that J and I were pregnant with our own
precious baby girl, I began dreaming of all things ruffled, pink and of course
hair bows. While Bean certainly has more hair than I did already at just 4
months, thanks to her Daddy, it still isn’t enough for a barrette.
Enter Girlie Glue.
Girlie Glue is an all-natural accessory adhesive. When I
first heard about it I just knew I had to try it.
I was unable to contain my excitement when my order arrived,
and although Bean was sleeping, I had to try it for myself. The consistency is
that of very sticky and thick honey, its even honey colored although it states
right on the tube and website that is it 100% honey free.
My order also contained three of the sweetest more adorable
bows that just melted my heart. Seriously, how cute are these bows?
I glued a bow to the back of my hand just to make sure it
was safe before I glued a bow to my child’s head, it stuck like magic, and it
disappeared in water just like the website claimed!
Once Bean woke up I promptly Girlie Glued one of the bows to
her and it last for 5 hours! Through a nap and everything. My baby may never be
in public without a bow again. I mean, is this not the cutest thing ever?
I also read Girlie Glue can be used for babies with hair
that clips slip out of, just put a dab inside of the clip and it will stay put.
Brilliant.
To remove the bows, I used a very wet washcloth and squeezed a little of the water onto the Girlie Glue, gave it a minute and then just pulled it out. Bean didn't seem to mind at all!
You can order bows right from Girlie Glue or also
find lots on Etsy. Girlie Glue's Facebook page has a few Etsy shop
recommendations.
What a fun product, cute bows and Bean is adorable! I love that look way better than headbands. Glad to know something actually holds them on.
ReplyDeleteI do love the 'no headband' look also. It is just so dang cute. I think the Bird is going to have to have some Girlie Glue sooner or later :)
