Best baby hair accessory

The best baby hair accessory is a lovely finishing touch to your infant's outfit, giving you an extra opportunity to accessorise your adorable little one. While certain styles of hair accessory are only suitable for brief use, perhaps during photo opportunities or special events if the baby is closely watched by parents or carers, other kinds can be useful for everyday use to keep your baby's hair neat and tidy. We've picked a mix of both types to feature in our super-sweet selection of the best baby hair accessories available now. 

This three-pack of headbands is a great choice that can be used as an everyday option or would make a lovely finishing touch to a special occasion outfit. These feature a fashionable bow-knot design. They are made of a cotton-blend material that has some elasticity. These are soft and comfortable for an infant to wear. 

This is a great value option that will give you 30 bows in different colours. You get 15 solid colours and 15 polka-dot-patterned bows. These are made from a satiny grosgrain ribbon and have a metallic alligator clip. This style of clip is easy to attach and remove with a simple squeeze at one end. These bows measure 9.65cm by 7.62cm. 

These ornate, beautiful headbands are absolutely ideal for christenings, naming ceremonies, milestone photoshoots, and to be worn for other special occasions. Each band has a differently themed faux flower decoration in three different colourways. The flowers are sturdy and made of plant-based polyester. These measure 26cm. 

This bumper multi-pack gives you a large selection of hair clips in five different designs and a range of bright colours. Some of these are plainer, making them ideal for daily use to keep hair out of your infant's face, while the other designs, like the cute animals and the fruit shapes, will help accessorise a party outfit. These vary in size from 3.3cm to 5.3cm. All are coated in non-toxic paints. 

These flower-themed hair clips will add a floral accent to your baby's look without being too over the top. This selection gives you 20 differently coloured clips, including some more unusual colours like brown and grey. The flowers are made from soft chiffon, and the clip is a metallic alligator clip, a hinged design that is super-simple to put in place and remove. 

We're big fans of these headbands. You get eight in the pack, in a range of contemporary, modern colours. These are made from a very soft and stretchy nylon material which means they will stretch to fit your infant as they grow. These headbands have a very fashionable and attractive cable-knit textured finish and a lovely bow detail to make them that little bit more special. 

These tiny ties are specially designed to hold a baby's thin, fine, and wispy hair in place in circumstances where bigger, bulkier bands would not work. This is an affordable and great value pack of no less than one hundred bands in a large range of colours. The bands' terry-towelling material makes them stretchy and easy to tie and also prevents hair snagging. 

Hair flair 

These baby hair accessories all offer an attractive way to give your infant's outfit the perfect finishing touch. Our overall staff pick, the MultiWare three newborn headbands, can work as an everyday solution to keep hair out of your baby's face but are pretty enough to work with party outfits too. 

Another useful everyday option is the XCOZU multicoloured hair clips. This great value pack includes plain clips that work as a practical choice to hold fringes back and include some more decorative designs. We especially love the animal-themed clips. 

Anyone looking for a baby hair accessory for a special occasion should consider the Ever Fairy flower crown headband. This three-pack of floral crowns is absolutely perfect for making your little one look like a prince or princess and is an understandably popular choice for photoshoots.
