Taming the Hair Accessory Chaos
Mamas, let’s talk about hair accessories. Those adorable bows, clips, headbands, and scrunchies that add the perfect touch to our little girls’ outfits. They’re wonderful, aren’t they? Except when they’re scattered everywhere, tangled beyond repair, and impossible to find when you’re rushing to get out the door.
Maybe her things are in the bathroom mixed in with your stuff. Sound familiar? If so, I have a game-changer for you: the “Hair Bow Station”! This dedicated space for all things hair accessory-related will not only bring order to the chaos but also make hair care a fun and special time for you and your daughter.
1. Keyword Research is Essential
Imagine a designated area, just for hair accessories. A place where bows are neatly displayed, clips are easily accessible, and headbands are organized and ready to go. No more frantic searching through drawers or untangling a mountain of ribbons. Instead, you have a beautiful and functional space that makes hair care a breeze. That’s the vision of a Hair Bow Station! It’s a place where your daughter can see all her accessories at a glance, choose what she wants to wear, and even help with the styling process.

Location, Location, Location: Finding the Perfect Spot
The first step in creating your Hair Bow Station is finding the perfect location. Consider these factors:
Safety: Ensure the location is safe for your daughter to access, especially if she’s young.
Accessibility: Choose a spot that’s easily accessible for both you and your daughter. A bedroom corner, a section of her closet, or even a designated area in the bathroom can work well.
Visibility: The Hair Bow Station should be visible so your daughter can see all her options. Most of all, it should be located in an area of your home that is actually convenient for daily use.
Space: Make sure you have enough space to store and display all her hair accessories. Think vertically and keep clutter away from your work surface.

Making it Fun: Turning Hair Care Into Playtime

Singing Songs or Telling Stories: Make hair care a special time filled with fun and laughter
Letting Her Choose: Allow your daughter to choose her own hair accessories.
Playing Dress-Up: Use the Hair Bow Station as part of a dress-up session.
Creating Hairstyles Together: Experiment with different hairstyles and let her help. You will find a bunch of inspiration here, on our Pinterest Board, and Instagram.
Personalizing the Space: Adding Her Special Touch
Make the Hair Bow Station truly hers by adding personal touches. Let her decorate it with her favorite stickers, drawings, or photos. This will make her feel like it’s her own special space and encourage her to use it.
For very young girls, keep a special doll or toy that she only gets to visit with at the Hair Bow Station.
If you are unable to dedicate space for a Hair Bow Station right now, don’t let that keep you from creating and organizing a mobile Hair Bow Station. The 3-level rolling organizer carts are a viable option with many colors to coordinate with your decor. This can serve the same purpose until space becomes available.
In fact, when I started out and had babies younger than my hair-do girlies I had to be resourceful. I had to go where the action was and keep my baby and toddlers in sight. Our first Hair Bow Station was a pretty handled wicker utensil caddy basket that I kept all my necessary sprays, combs and elastic bands in. After I styled her hair, we would “shop” her bows hanging on the wall in her room for the finishing touch.
Hair Bow Station Ideas: Inspiration for Every Style
Need some inspiration? Here are a few ideas for creating your Hair Bow Station:
The Shabby Chic Station: Use natural materials like painted wood and wicker for a fresh and inviting look.
The Classic Organizer: Use a combination of drawers, bins, and hanging organizers to keep everything neat and tidy. Ikea is a great place to look for supplies.
The Elegant Glam Station: Decorate with pinks, crystal, pearls, and brass. Add a vanity mirror and some classy decorations.
Maintaining the Magic: Keeping it Organized
Once you’ve created your Hair Bow Station, it’s important to maintain it. Make it a habit to put hair accessories back in their designated spots after use. Train the habit of “put it away, don’t put it down.” This will prevent clutter, build character, and keep your hair bow storage looking its best.
A Place for Memories and Beautiful Hair
The Hair Bow Station is more than just a place to store hair accessories; it’s a place where memories are made. It’s a place where you can connect with your daughter, celebrate her unique style, and create beautiful hairstyles together. By creating a fun and organized space, you’ll make hair care a breeze and create lasting memories that you’ll both cherish.
