What do you use in DD's hair?

Clips?  Bows?  Headbands?

We use clips, but I am always having to fix them.  DD would freak out when I tried to put a plastic headband on her, but she finally let me, and then it was always getting messed up too.  I tried a stretchy fabric headband too but it seemed like it would just slide off.  Sometimes we do pigtails with those tiny little hairbands, but in the summer I don't just because if she is out in the sun, I don't want her scalp getting burnt where I part her hair (and a hat doesn't go over pigtails).

I think we'll have to stick with clips, but it would be nice if I could be a little more creative!

Barettes, rubber bands, headbands, stretchy headbands, clips, bows... we do some of everything I guess!  In summer I like to pull the front back in a barette and then put the rest in a ponytail or braid so it's off her neck in the heat.  Right now she's really into headbands, so sometimes I do a headband with a ponytail in back if it's really hot.

We usually use the little hairbands and do pigtails, a ponytail, or the little hair poofs like in my siggy pic. Or braids. 

Her hats will fit over the ponytail, braids or low pigtails. They just kind of rest of top of the poofs.

Very rarely, we'll do barrettes. I haven't tried many headbands -- probably b/c I find them annoying, myself.

We use some of everything as well.  Ribbons, bows, barrettes, hair ties. Anything that keeps DD's hair together.  Now...getting her to sit still while I'm combing her hair?  That's a different story!

I have the same problem w/ my daughter's super fine hair.  The headbands, barrettes, and clips all fall out.  I use them anyway, but have to redo her hair all day long.  I have found a new headband that has a toggle at the base of the headband that you can tighten/loosen depending on what you want.  I would post the name, but I don't want to cause any problems w/ recommending them.  Let me know if you're interested and I can pm you with the website.  Like everyone else mentioned, we tend to use a LOT of rubberbands just to keep her hair out of her face.

We use ponytail holders and a clip to hold her bangs back. We're in the process of growing out her bangs. She will not keep a headband in at all.

Mostly braids and barrettes, along with those little alligator clips.

For DD's part, I just spray sunscreen directly on her scalp. She's got a natural part anyway, so I have to do that regardless of how I do her hair.
