Whether they have long hair, short hair, curly hair or straight hair, women love hair accessories. Versatile and fun, clips, barrettes, hair sticks and tiaras help women and girls look great and feel good about themselves. Fortunately, it's easy to find a good selection of hair accessories for your business.
Before buying hair accessories, however, consider how your customers will use them. Are your customers most likely young women wanting hair ornaments to make their prom hairdos look even better? Are they older women who want practical and functional accessories? Or maybe they’re mothers with girls and babies, who want their children to look even cuter? Consider the three basic categories of hair accessories:
1. Fancy hair ornaments, often used for weddings, proms or clubbing
2. Everyday hair accessories, which should be both practical and pretty
3. Hair accessories for children

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- When stocking hair accessories for children--especially very young ones--be sure to consider comfort. Few mothers want their babies in adorable hair clips if those clips are going to slip and slide and cause their baby to cry because they are pulling delicate strands of hair.
