There's a new toy and if you haven't heard of them, they're called Bunchems and they are hell when mixed with long hair.

They're mini colourful balls which you can connect together to make anything you want!

Like this cool elephant!

 There's just one problem...not only do Bunchems stick to each other, they also stick to hair. QUITE BADLY.

What a NIGHTMARE.

Moms and Dads - avoid "Bunchems" toys with your life! Katelyn came home from a play date with these things stuck in her hair. We had no choice but to cut it out! 󾌿

We don't even know if we'd have the patience to try and get these out..shaving the head is probably the best option. As many frustrated parents point out on the toys' Amazon customer reviews, kids are more likely to throw Bunchems up in the air or accidentally roll over them than craft a cute little animal.

And parents aren't the only ones up in arms. One hair stylist​ —​ Janelle of Janelle's No. 5 Salon ​—​took to Facebook to share her little client's latest horror story. "She was so good —​ no tears, four people and two hours." That's right: It took four people to a remove the toys from this little girl's hair:

But the toy makers aren't leaving everybody out to dry. They've incorporated a brightly colored warning card into their packaging, and have made a short video that demonstrates how to remove the little buggers from hair tangles. Apparently conditioner or vegetable oil will help slide 'em out — but we're guessing what you'll need a big dose of patience, too.
