JoJo Bows hair clips playground craze being banned from schools because teachers think they DISTRACT pupils
A PLAYGROUND craze of wearing oversized hair clips are being banned from schools as teachers believe they distract pupils.
The large and brightly coloured accessories, known as JoJo Bows, have become popular thanks to American Youtube and reality television star JoJo Siwa.
Though some schools across the country are not on board with the new trend which are used to decorate a high ponytail.
One is Victoria Park Junior School in Stretford which has reportedly banned the accessories.
One mum, with children at Victoria Park said her daughters just want to be part of the latest trend and have been told to remove them at school.
She told : "In my eyes it's silly banning them. Kids are just being kids and they like the latest fashion trend or latest things that are out.
Kathleen Thorpe posted in the group "Long Eaton and surrounding areas soapbox" that the bows had been banned because the school said it was "not part of the school uniform".
