Is that a bug in your hair?

by Tamara McKee

Found in more than 200 stores across Canada, Moms everywhere can rejoice at seeing Bugalug on the market. All parents can attest to the daily struggle of taming their daughter's tresses. My own daughter has fine hair and the barrettes and headbands simply slip out of her hair in a matter of seconds. Lucky for us Bugalug has the solution!

Bugalug hair accessories are functional, reliable and do stay put. Not to mention they are available in dozens of eyecatching, trendy colours. They can even withstand the washer!

Bugalug barrettes are 100 per cent magnet free and created with a unique silicon gel grip that ensures that the clip does not budge. It will suit girls aged 3 to 13!

Similarly, the Bugalug ribbon headbands feature a patent-pending toggle that allows you to fit the headband perfectly around your child's head. In fact, moms can even wear them! Fashionable and colourful, some are even reversible.

Calgary mom and Bugalug creator, Sundi Hoffman says that "children take an interest in their own hair style from an early age and they have strong likes and dislikes." She adds: "Fashion is a form of self expression and little girls have a lot to say!"

Currently there are no local retailers in Durham Region, so for more information or to purchase your own sets visit www.bugalugbaby.com
