Handcrafted flowers for hair are quickly becoming the must have fashion accessory.  As they have become more popular, more people have started making them themselves.  This is great, and Lucy’s Blooms would have never gotten its start if it hadn’t happened!  Making a hair flower isn’t a difficult task, but making one that will stand the test of time is.  There are many different factors that go into making a high-quality flower, and I want to share a few of them with you so that when you’re shopping for flowers for hair you know what to look for.

Lots of people will buy a silk flower, glue an alligator clip to it, and wear it out on the town.  This plan is great if you aren’t concerned about the hair flower lasting more than a month or how the flower works with your hair.

A great flower hair clip starts with the highest quality silk flowers.  Each crafter has her own methods of where to take it from there, but it will almost always be deconstructed and put back together in a way that will lay more flat than the flower originally started.  Some will use the leaves, others won’t, and the choice is up to you of whichever you prefer as there aren’t really any advantages either way.  Different types of glue have direct advantages with the different materials that go into a hair flower.  Some work great for the petals, but don’t work on leaves.  We’ve figured out a system that creates the strongest bond possible, while still remaining non-toxic.  We want you to at least to live as long as your hair flower does!

When it comes to securing the flower into your hair, there are as many methods as there are people who make them.  Some will use bobby pins, some combs, we use high quality alligator clips.  The method that we’ve developed has come from years of trial and error to determine what holds the best without being in the way or digging into your head.

Like I said above, there are thousands of people out there making hair flowers these days.  Use this guide to judge each one for quality so that you get everything that you’re paying for.  Lucy’s Blooms adheres to our own high standards, and our techniques are continually evolving to improve the quality and craftsmanship of our hair flowers!
