| I Am So Done Using Band. I order some bands for Ruby's topknot on the rhaspsody website a long time a go and I still have some since you know they are only sold in large quantities. Well everytime time I put those in I can't get them out without tearing out hair and it makes me so amd because I care for her coat alot and every time I put one in there goes some of it. So Now i have tried some of those ponytails that are from rubberband also but like cover in cloth and they work much better and I dont end up pulling the hair, which I am sure bothers her also. I am sure removing the bads would have been earsier with band removing siccors but I am not about to order one. Do you have the same problem when putting in bands? |

| I buy the shiny ouchless bands from Walmart. You can actually slide them off without pulling their hair. Of course, that's why the puppies pull each other's ponytails out. But, when I just did Zowie, before the puppies, it would stay in all day

| i'm still using a stash of small bands that actually came from daughter's orthodontist. But my daughter has had her braces off for almost a year and at some point these bands will be used up. They come out pretty easily, sometimes I don't want to risk pulling the hair out, so I just clip them out. Somebody told me once that orthodontists will sell you the bands. I suppose it depends on the doctor. There's one bag in the drawer that has bright colored bands in it - my daughter must have asked for those once and found out she didn't care so much for the glowing mouth.

| After finally figuring out how to get them in Chloe's hair, I use the clear plastic 'ouchless' ones from Walmart. I have enough to last me forever lol |

| I'm done with them too - Gus was going to end up bald if I kept using them. Now I use Goody Ouchless Elastics - mini hair bands made for little girls. They work great.

| I use the same bands on Matthias that I use for my daughters. Ouchless covered bands - my daughters have sensitive heads. About once every two months I have to buy another pack though because my daughters like to steal the bands and use them in their Barbies hair.

| Small plastic baby bands work best for Princess. I bring them to the Groomers too. They use one that is hard to get out. OUCH! No wonder they don't like getting their hair done! After finding the plastic ones, I can do Princess's hair with no problems. You should give them a try.
