Default Alligator clips

Recently I was in West Edmonton Mall and saw a kiosk that sold (for
20.00)Clips that girls put in their hair....they had a small alligator
clip with a cord about a foot long, wrapped in coloured string??, with a
few beads for decoration. Does anyone know where I can buy these
clips..it seems that it would be a good seller at the fall craft shows.
At a more reasonable price too....thanks...Sharon in SW Ontario Canada

depot or lowes

Yeah, I think so.

The little spring steel ones that clip open and shut? Those are the only
kind I'd put in my hair, also the kind that work best for baby fine hair.
Alligator clips would be uncomfortable, damaging to hair, and unattractive.

Maybe I'm confused.

The ones my mom made me weren't hair wraps. They were barretes with
ribbons woven on top (looked like a little braid to me) and streamers of
thin ribbon (two ribbons or four, can't remember) hanging strait down,
with beads at the end.
For a 5 year old these seemed really fun and princess-like

I never used a clip for a hair wrap--I always knotted it directly to the
hair! I suppose the clip would be useful for someone who doesn't want


to

keep the hair wrap for more than a day or so, cause I always kept mine


in

for about 3 weeks at a time. LOL Now I wanna go do a couple hair wraps


with

charms at the end.

Wouldn't alligator clips get caught in people's hair?

My mom used to make me things something like that (when I was in
kindergarden!). They had ribbons woven across the tops of the
barrettes, and the ribbons hung down and were ended in pony beads. The
little metal barrettes she used I think I have seen in sewing shops.

Innocent, of what?
Ok.. all this cute alluding to smoking pot is fun. Why not just say it. I
smoked pot. I did. At least I think I did. I cant remember.

Me? I'm innocent.

My thoughts exactly, Sooz. Even though I'm older than you, we must have
"known" about the same things in our youth, right???

But if I was wearing a hair
wrap, I'd just wrap the whole thing in plstic wrap and secure it with a
rubber band.


I did a hair wrap for my daughter and washed her hair just a regularly
as I always have except I wasn't as vigorous. It lasted about 3
weeks.

I'm probably in the very small minority of people my age who never
tried any drugs or did any underaged drinking.


Me too...my dh and I figure that we can present both sides to our dd when the
time is ripe....he did and suffered and can advise against it, and I didn't,
and found other ways to cope, and it was ok.

I guess I used food to "drug" myself, and knowing how addictive I found some
foods, I was afraid to try something that could be REALLY addicitive.

Can't tell you how many friends I dropped because they smoked (young, like in
Jr. Hi) and drank/drugged...just didn't wanna be part of that world.

I'm an oddity when we are in a gathering and folks start "reminiscing" about
"the good old days"! LOL ..(I'm usually the only one who remembers em!!!)

Guess I'll have to make it an official me-too post (OMTP, is that
right?) My grandfather paid me $100 when I reached 18 to have never
smoked. (Not that I ever wanted to - EVERYONE in my family did, it was
awful...) Grew up amid much smoking and drinking, as only cocktail
parties in the 60's can produce... no interest in either, although I
have photographic evidence that I liked beer as a very small child. :-)
I don't tolerate alcohol any better than I do antihistamines, so I had
my last alcoholic drink at 24 (and can count the total on both hands) -
don't like the taste either. Addictive personality, which I now take
out on food and shopping for craft supplies... :-)

DD and DS both think smoking is disgusting, and I'm quite happy to
enforce that. (My dad did finally quit after 40 years - 4 packs a day -
and is still around at 72.) DD is getting old enough (11) to be
questioning drinking, and has no tolerance for it at all, but we've
discussed that it is ok in the right circumstances. Unfortunately, she
has a strong family history that says she would have problems with it,
so I hope it never goes any farther than I did.

Karin (happily hooked on Diet Coke, lo-carb chocolate, yarn, stamps,
glass, and beads, not necessarily in that order. And will probably be
having to give up the DC in order to get rid of the GERD.)

I made those for my girls when they were little too. In the US, Goody brand
barrettes are perfect for the job, I miss being able to buy them. My
daughters used to tease me about owning stock in Goody.

I also remember when the big fashion trend was all the little covered hair
bands, with the hair pulled back and banded at intervals down the ponytail
or imitating a french braid.

Ahh, memories of being a volunteer hairstylist.

My college roommate had a pair of cotter pins for earrings, with a sliding
washer. When she explained that they were roach clips, I had these visions
of using them to catch bugs. Geez, I was really fresh off the farm then!
