When you become pregnant, immediately you start worrying about the baby’s health. Things you never thought about before pregnancy become of the utmost importance. One of those things is the safety of health and beauty products. A new company, NINE Naturals, has begun to sell a line of natural shampoo and conditioner especially for use during pregnancy. Made with natural plant oils, these products contain no parabens, no phthalates, no sulfates, and no DEA. These all natural products are designed to cleanse and condition your hair gently without harsh chemicals. The company plans to launch a body wash and body lotion soon as well. You can view the shampoo and conditioner at NINEnaturals, where they retail for $18 each.

There are lots of cute handmade hair products for children on the market today. Many of them look very similar, but every once in a while I spy something unique and different. I was recently impressed by this alligator clip from Manic Mittens. This fully lined clip is made to stay in hair and features a unique arrangement of purple and green flowers that will really make your daughter stand out. I love the attention to detail of this piece. You can purchase one for $4.00 Canadian at ManicMittens.com.

When my now almost ten year old was a toddler, washing her hair was a huge ordeal.  She would scream so loudly every time I tried to rinse the shampoo out of her hair that I was always worried that my neighbors would call the police.  For a while, we had to resort to a rinse-less shampoo that was designed for bed-ridden adults.  I have been fortunate not to have this problem with my middle daughter, but the memories of the experience from the first time around are enough to convince me that the Oopsy Daisy company is onto something with their High Chair Hair Care Rinse Free Shampoo.

Not only does this shampoo allow you to avoid bath tub drama and the difficulties of rinsing without getting shampoo in your little one’s eyes, but it is made from all-natural ingredients, so you also avoid worried about using harsh chemicals on delicate skin.  Recommended from birth and up, the product is naturally-scented with essential oils for a pleasant scent.  It comes in a convenient pump dispenser that uses an air foamer rather than harsh propellants.

Oopsy Daisy products have garnered the favor of celebrity parents such as Scott Baio and Joely Fisher.You can purchase an 8 oz pump for $17 at OopsyDaisybb.com/.  Anyone who has been through the horrors of trying to wash the hair of an unwilling child will know that it is more than worth the price!

When buying holiday outfits for little girls, holiday hair accessories are often forgotten or overlooked. The company FromHeadto Bows.com creates a number of gorgeous bows, from lush velvet to this Holiday Peppermint Twist Hair Bow. The white bow is adorned with red and green peppermints. The bow measures 3.5″ wide and is attached to a pinch clip so that it will go on without fuss. You can choose a no-slip grip as an option as well.

This holiday hair bow is currently on sale for $7.16 (reg. $9.95) at FromHeadtoBows.com.

If your little diva likes wearing hats and scarves then these U*b*baby Lil Diva Blingin Bandanas are a perfect accessory for her wardrobe. Working with children over the years, one my pet peeves is “hair in the face.” I used to carry around a little bag of hair clips and hair bands in my purse. Most girls are happy to wear a pretty hair clip or hair band that they keep as a little gift. These bandanas are a pretty way to keep your child’s hair in place and out of her face while she enjoys doing the things she loves.

Visit BarefootBella.net to view their collection of head gear. This bandana is priced at $24 and comes in one size fits all.

Here’s a fun and quirky way to jazz up your daughter’s ponytail!  The Hippo Ponytail Holder from b.delicious is made from ultrasuede and features an adorable hippo head, complete with two little white teeth.  I love the “crafty” appeal of this piece, with all of its individual little pieces carefully brought together.  I think this would make a great little stocking stuffer or other small treat.  You can purchase one for $12 at bdelicious.com.

Skip Hop always has cute and innovative products, and their prices won’t destroy your budget.  I love the look of their new Hare Baby Comb & Brush Set.  This sweet little set was recently featured in American Baby Magazine, and includes a comb, brush, and mirror, all tucked away inside a cute bunny head.

Any toddler will love this set. Actually, I think my nine year old would love this set.  It definitely makes grooming a bit more fun. The set will be available in October and will retail for approximately $20 at SkipHop.com.

I have never had the patience to extensively style my daughters’ hair, but I know many moms who get great pleasure from it.  Many of them are absolutely addicted to hair bows, and love to collect them to coordinate with every outfit.  I have also seen huge threads on parenting boards about this very addiction.

If you are among the addicted, you will want to check out Cherry on Top hair bows.  Started by a stay at home mom, this company has something for everyone.  Even I can tell that these bows are as well-constructed as any on the market, and there are a huge number of sizes, styles, and patterns to choose from.  You will definitely be able to find the perfect bow for a special outfit or occasion.

I love the contrast of the deep red and white on the pictured style.  This particular bow is attached to a clippie and suitable for infants (hair permitting) on up.  It measures 3.5-4 inches wide and 2.5 inches tall, and retails for a very reasonable $5.  You can purchase one at cherrybows.com.
