| Grooming bands for top knots Recommendations for grooming bands? I just ordered bands but they appear to be thicker and stiffer that the ones I have had forever. Any recommendations on bands and where to purchase? Thanks

Thanks...no I have not ordered from there. I will take a look. I just want to be sure to get the ones that are stretchy and light weight. Thank you for your help.

| I order from showoffproducts.com I get the medium light weight and the medium fine weight... I get pink in the light weight and yellow in the fine weight (they only have black and yellow in the fine weight). These are perfect for topknots. I usually use the fine weight for day to day topknots and the light weight for when she wears a bow, the light weight are just a bit sturdier than the fine. You get a TON of bands too.. I ordered 3 bags last summer and still have ALOT

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I like the stretchy ones too, I've ordered from all sorts of places, but if you have a local Walmart you might want to check in the baby department. Lots of great bands, and only $2.50 for over 100, with no shipping!

| Showoff and Lainee's are the two places frequented by most exhibitors. They have a wide range of sizes and weights, geared for every purpose...of course colors are good too. Don't forget to order band nippers for nipping the bands off. Oh! and keep them in the fridge to keep the from rotting.
