New! Adjustable No Slip Ribbon Headbands!!!


New in the punkynmunky etsy shop! Adustable no slip headbands! I am in love with how simple and elegant these look in the hair.


They are made from grosgrain ribbon with the ends sealed to prevent fraying. To prevent slipping out of the hair they have been treated on the inside with silicone. I sent my model here to school with one in her hair fully expecting to find it in her backpack when she came home. Nope, still in her hair!


Each one has a toggle to adjust the size of the headband to fit many different sizes! I use approximately 29" of ribbon which fits my 5year olds head as well as my big ole head!


So many different colors to choose from, this is just a sample of colors! I have more and I can even order other colors if I don't have what you want!

You gotta see this!!!!

Well, my Silicone No Slip Grip Tutorial seems to be going over pretty good. I was actually very nervous that no one would want it :). Anyway, I just wanted to share a video that LittleCansOfBeans made after she bought the tutorial and made some no slip grips!

Silicone No Slip Grip Secrets Revealed!

Available now in my Etsy shop! "How To Make Silicone No Slip Grips For Hair Clips" in a PDF that can be emailed right to you!


I have been asked time and time again for my "secret" method for making no slip grips. I've been very protective of it until now, I am offering it to you all now in a PDF that is 11 pages of easy to read text with 20 clear pictures to show you every step of the way! I tell you what supplies I use, and various methods I use to make the grips!

When making this tutorial I did an experiment. The first picture below was taken in the morning before school (the model has very fine slippery hair), then she came home at 3:30, played outside with some friends (running around, cartwheels, and tree climbing). All this time I did not touch her hair or bow, and neither did she. At dinner time her hair was a wreck (as you can imagine after all that play), but as you can see in the second picture, the bow is still almost in the same place 8 hours later!!! All other no slip grips I have tried never held in her hair through that much abuse!


All my hair bows and clips are made with this lining now unless otherwise asked for! Please visit my shop to see all that I have to offer!

No Slip Grip

I've been doing some experimenting with different "no slip grip" methods for my items that come on an alligator clip. I have tried several different things and came up with 2 that seem to work the best. So here is at I have to offer :)

1. A line of silicone. Although this one is the most labor intensive and time consuming, it is by far my favorite. It stays put! It would be the best option for all hair types. Even fine hair! (don't be fooled, I've seen some lined with some hot glue, I tried it, it doesn't work well!!)



2. If the hair is super thin as well as fine, and you'd prefer a thicker no slip grip, I can apply a foam rubber strip. It acts more as a "filler" for that thin barely there hair.

Most of my items with an alligator clip will come standard with a silicone no slip grip. I can always add the foam rubber liner if you prefer that option instead! Or if you prefer none at all, I can do that most of the time too! Please read each listing to see what is offered for that item. If you have any questions or aren't sure what you need, please always feel free to contact me!
