Jo Jo bows

Tacky/chavvy/cute?

Can't decide whether to get one for my three year old dd

Total tat, it is a craze and therefore comes under the "if you want one you need to pay for it yourself" category. So DD used her pocket money

They are awful and I don't feel bad saying it because my dd has loads of the feckers. All her friends had them though so I didn't feel I had a choice though I doubt there would be the same kind of peer pressure with a 3 yr old. Older kids are starting to find them a bit naff now I think. If you do end up getting one go for the smaller size or your 3 yr olds head will look like an elaborately wrapped Christmas present. Or even better wait a month or so and you'll be able to pick a bag of them up for 50p from a charity shop with a bag of loom bands and a fidget spinner thrown in.

Yuk! I dislike them very much, very tacky.

Dd1 loves watching Jojo on YouTube but I refused to spend a tenner on a bow for her to lose. I went another level chav and bought her some similar ones for 99p from b&m

Ah, I see. I have just googled (which I should have done before)

Thankfully my MIL has not purchased an actual official JoJo bow. Rather a M&S smaller variation so my DD still has a chance in life.

I found this quote from the young JoJo herself who says that the JoJo Bow is “more than just a hair accessory, it is a symbol of power, confidence, believing-ness.”

So there you go

Look tacky as anything, I'm very smug that my 3 hate them!

Tacky as hell but harmless I guess.

We were at a wedding recently and there was a little girl who can't have been more than 2 and a half and she had huge bright pink one on her head, she was getting so fed up of of it and kept pulling it off but the mum insisted on putting it back on every time. She looked so much nicer with out it, the stupid thing swamped her head, but the parents obviously thought it looked cute. Each to their own!

They are the current trend for infants / young juniors. All thr girls in my daughter's year 3 class wear them. Some make their own versions, so are crafting, using fine motor skills and bein creative as well.

Ive literally never heard of any correlation between young girls who wear bows in their hair being more likely to be pregnant by 15.

Im wondering if thats what incredibly Judgemental wankers people said about me and my friends in the 90s of our global hyper colour T.shirts, shell suits and docs. not all together

I don't ever buy something that is part of a craze 'just because', I don't like the thought of it demonstrating to the DCs that it's important to take part in all these trends. That is probably due to our low income though TBF as it just worries me that the crazes will get more and more expensive as they get older! So I make them buy it out of their pocket/birthday money and they have to decide if it's worth it to them or not. Usually it's not but DD happily bought herself a bow so fair enough!

Sorry for waffling and not actually talking about the bow

Sorry that sounded incredibly wanky which wasn't intended I just have no money to spend on non-essentials so anything like that it's "buy it yourself" IYSWIM

Off trend now, if you care about that sort of thing.

Most of the younger children were wearing them at dance schools we're involved with end of last year, beginning of this, but scarcely anybody at all now.

They're definitely off trend now, and they seem to be reduced in price everywhere too.

They make me glad I have 2 boys

Two of the DDs have been wearing giant bows since they were tiny it's great that this almost certainly means I'll be a 'young' grandparent.

I don't like them.

I don't like any intricately unnessecary adornment of children.

See also; jewellery, handbags, heeled shoes, bonnets, fishtail braids etc.

In fact the only thing I can bring myself to countenance is a headband if hair is being worn loose.

Ooh shit, I had no idea my little dd will be pregnant by 15 and flunk her gcse's all because i let her spend her spending money on a bow. What the fuck was I thinking ???
I'm quite sure I looked ridiculous in my shell suit and joe bloggs massive flared jeans in my youth too feels ancient

My DD loves them 🙄 And has now purchased from argos 2 designafriend jojobowesque bows for her bloody dolls!!! They are actual bows for dolls 😳 Cost £8 for 2!!!! 😲😱

They were a bit tacky in the nineties, but fashionably quirky (if a little popular)now. I like them

Actually does she want one? If so then she should have one.

A headband! What's wrong with tucking your hair behind your ears? Do.you want your dd to grow up to be a crack addict teenage mother living off the state in prison?

Tacky, chavy, blingy and waaay OTT! Perfect for children. DS asked for one a couple of months ago I bought him a copy from the local wool shop.

Seriously MargaretTwatyer? What are you basing your disgusting comment on?

I like them, my 9 year old daughter has 4. Two slightly smaller, two enormous. I love hair accessories, anyway, and I'd wear her JoJo bows myself if I could cope with the disapproval of other mums.

I think it's adorable to see little girls with big bows in their hair. It's a nice, juvenile fashion. In my day young boys shaved Nike ticks into their hair, or spiked it up, and the girls wore jelly shoes, friendship bracelets and coloured hair clips. Who cares if a kid looks tacky? That's the fun of being a kid!

Also I used to watch Dance Moms and I adored Jojo. I always thought she handled herself well against some dreadful bullying and never stopped being herself. If my daughters were older I would be pleased if they were fans.
