Kids Hair Accessories Wholesale: What Parents Actually Buy

Kids' hair accessories are a steady seller for boutiques, gift shops and salons. Parents buy them for school, for special occasions, and simply because their child fell in love with something cute at the counter. If you are stocking wholesale kids hair accessories, it helps to think about what parents are really looking for when they pick something up.

What Parents Look For

Parents are shopping for two people at once: themselves and their child. The child wants something fun. The parent wants something practical, fairly priced, and easy to use on a busy morning.

The items that sell best usually hit both marks. A clip that holds hair well and is shaped like a teddy bear or strawberry makes everyone happy.

Price matters too. Kids lose hair accessories, so many parents prefer to buy a few affordable pieces rather than one expensive one.

Wholesale Kids Hair Accessories That Sell

Here are categories that tend to work well for a kids' section:

• Fun-shaped clips. Kitty, teddy bear, butterfly, mouse and strawberry styles are playful and easy for kids to choose.
• Glitter headbands. Sparkle is a big draw, especially for parties and holidays.
• Hair ties and hair tie boxes. Parents go through these quickly, so they come back for more.
• Shoe charms. Not hair accessories, but they sit well next to them and are a favorite small treat for kids.
• Small coin bags. Handy for kids who want a place to keep their clips and ties.

When choosing clips for younger kids, look at size. Smaller clips are easier for small hands and fine hair. Parents also appreciate knowing an item is meant for kids, so a simple sign helps.

Display and Pricing Tips

Place kids' items low enough for children to see, but close enough to the register that parents can grab them at checkout. A bright tray or a small spinner rack works well.

Group items by color or theme so kids can quickly find their favorite. Pink and purple, rainbow, and animal shapes are easy groupings.

Keep prices simple. With most of our items at $9 per dozen, you have room for round prices and bundle deals like "pick 3" that parents appreciate.

Think about the calendar, too. Back-to-school, birthdays and holidays are all times when parents shop for hair accessories. Refreshing your display before these moments helps.

Keep It Fresh

Kids love finding something new. Because our styles are one-time drops and are not restocked, your display can change often, which gives families a reason to stop by again.

Shop clips, headbands and hair ties in our hair accessories collection, and try a mystery accessory box if you want a wide mix at once. You can also catch new drops on our Facebook live Monday through Friday at 7 AM PT (10 AM ET) and comment SOLD to claim your picks.
