There is a complete parallel industry for kid’s hair accessories in most countries of the world. This is because the needs of children differ greatly from adults. Children can also be more fussy and stubborn than the latter.

Better spending capacity and the exposure to global brands have made kids conscious and finicky about what they wear and very particular about hair fashion and the kind of accessories to be worn in hair.
