Hair To Stay

When you think of little girls, it’s hard not to think of pigtails and ribbons and bows. But as any mom of a little girl will tell you, those ribbons and bows often aren’t on their daughters’ pigtails – if anything, pigtails are the least likely place to find hair accessories. Instead, they’re everywhere else: under the bed, in the kitchen drawer, at Cousin Kaitlyn’s house, and in that bleak corner of outer space where lone, unmatched socks, several house keys and that heirloom diamond necklace are all hiding out, cackling wickedly at your expense.

Unless your little girl has a Hair Wear Friend. This clever concoction – part doll, part hair accessories organizer – is the brainchild of St. Louis’s own Sheri Chorlins, and it might put an end to those frazzled morning searches for two hair clips that match (or at least don’t clash). The 17-inch” plush dolls have arms made for slipping scrunchies onto and each sport a fashionable vertical ribbon sash for storing barrettes. A hook string loop in the back of the Hair Wear Friend makes it easy to hang the doll in a closet or school locker.

“Gone are the days when dolls lived unsatisfying lives just lounging around the townhouse waiting for Ken to call or hanging out on a shelf waiting for a tea party invitation,” Chorlins quipped.

Available at www.girlsgifts.com for $12.95, indeed, these dolls earn their keep by corralling hair accessories into one efficient place – and let’s not forget keeping your little girl company.
