I haven't been using rubberbands on Pixie,I found some baby hairbands in my local chemist, they are small, soft, little toweling bands and came in a pack of different colours. I was worried rubberbands would tear her hair. I have bought some little hair grips, the mini claw ones, but as soon as she shakes her head they are falling out so i have given up on those for now!
I do have some lovely bows i bought for her but i haven't used them yet, will maybe save them for when she's a little bigger and her hair has grown a bit more.
