I stumbled upon this Etsy store a few weeks ago. We all love flower accessories, but these are so unique and beautiful, I just had to share.
Kanzashi Hair Comb
Flower Clip
Headband
Flower Bobby Pin
The name of this shop is Petal Mix. From the shop’s description:
Petal Mix hair accessories and brooch pins are a modern twist on the Japanese art of tsumami kanzashi. Each petal is hand cut and folded from beautiful silks, imported Japanese textiles, and other high quality fabrics.
The colors are so vibrant and there are a lot of different designs, all with a Japanese flavor! Something I also like about this shop is that you can customize your order.
Here’s my purchase:
I adorned my puff with this hair comb
They are a little bit more expensive than I care to pay for hair accessories normally (I think I paid 18 bucks for this one?) but when I find something really unique, I feel it’s worth it. The combs are a bit iffy. I was a worried that I wouldn’t be able to get it through my hair as they have pretty skinny spacing. However, it slid easily on the side of my puff and twist outs. It did not, and that’s a big NOT, slide into my hair when it was twisted.
These are fabric as well, so I’ve had to be careful when my hair is heavy with product. Shipping was very fast and it came in a pretty box with a ribbon around it. (Hey, presentation is everything, right?)
I’m thinking about getting another one, but I have to decide the color.
The kind people at LadyBugsNButterflies sent me some cute hair accessories to try out. Since I am lacking the ever crucial-to-playing-in-hair “girl child”, I borrowed my friend’s darling little girl to model these items.
They let me choose two and I picked the ones below. Something I liked right off the bat was that you can pick and choose what kind of clip you want to secure the accessory. The crocheted pieces are very well made. The prices seem to range anywhere from $4.00 to $7.00.

They have a lot of different types of clips.
"Emma Joy" Flower accessory, our second choice
We chose the Toddler "O" for the flower.

Thanks to LadybugsNButterflies for letting us try these out, they are so cute!
Here are a few others that I really liked:
I found a nice Etsy shop (LovMely Accessories) with adorable headbands. I know some in my last post may have been too pricey. These range between 10-30 bucks.
Spring is coming! I don’t know about the rest of you ladies, but I’m ready for winter to get gone!
I see Kcurly laying next to a pool (or maybe in a field of flowers, I haven’t decided yet), with a beautiful maxi dress on, a afro puff in place with some cute flowers strategically placed. Time to stock up on some nice colorful accessories for spring! I’m trying to narrow it down. Here are some for your consideration! First up, Andrea’s Beau.
Their new spring designs have arrived! Check them out!
A big fave of mine, Tomoka’s Twists, has a special right now that includes free shipping for orders over $9.99.That includes international orders! She always has some fun colors!
Of course, for some quick, cheap summer accessories (rings, necklaces, etc), I can always count on Two Dollar Jewelry. Wouldn’t this necklace be perfect with a summer dress?

Coveryourhair.com was kind enough to do a giveaway a few weeks ago for Newly Natural. They also sent me a few samples of their accessories. I was sent two headbands, which were really nice. Here’s one:
Plaid Headband with Flower. The only complaint I have about it is that it's made from a somewhat rough material.
However, what I was really interested in were the pretied bandanas.
So, I ordered two. They have a clearance area (I am ALL about some clearance!), so I ended up spending about 12 bucks each for them. I’ve found them as low as around 10 dollars, though. Here are my impressions:
- The designs are incredibly striking and unique.
- The prices are not outrageous
- They are fitted at the bottom with a small amount of elastic
- Made from stretchy lycra
I love it! And I don’t have to look like a “Maw-Maw” around the house. The lycra is not a rough material and I don’t find it drying like cotton, but you may still want to wear your satin bonnet under it.
I also ordered this flower clip. It cost around 6 dollars and the neat thing about it is that it has three means of attaching it: hair clip, safety pin, or ponytail holder. I used the ponytail holder to pull back my twists. It’s huge but I really like it. I just have no idea where I would wear it.

Delivery was super fast and I had no problems ordering it. Coveryourhair.com is a new favorite!
OK, how long has it been since I got these? And haven’t worn them at all. No more, I say! (Read my post on where I found these here)
My twists were skinny enough that I could get these on. I have to say that I love them! Very unique, but subtle. They were a little difficult to figure out. I ended up winding the twist through the spring on each accessory until my twist was fully inside.
