AIBU to really not like hair bows on grown ups?

I don't mind little hair bows on small children, massively dislike Jojo bows though. My pet hate is those huge oversized bows that grown women wear. I never say anything in real life but why? A huge black or navy coloured bow perched at the back of your head? Nope from me. I know it's fashion but they really irritate me to be honest. Anyone else?

I've never seen a huge hair bow on an adult woman.

Me neither.

Even worse sticking massive bows on bald babies.

If you don’t like them, don’t wear them. Easy.

I’m not a fan, so I don’t wear them, but I couldn’t care what others do. If others like them, then they should wear them.

Reminds me of Minnie Mouse. I haven't seen hair bows out in the wild for a while

I said I dislike them less, not that I like them. At least hairbands are soft and not on a metal clip

Agreed although o dislike headbands on babies less for some reason.

Why does a baby need any decorating?

For decoration. If it's not your taste fair enough but no point asking why. Like literally every accessory, it's for decorating your body.
