It's recommended to use latex as they don't pull/break the hair as much. However, when removing them they should be cut out, not pulled out. Cause they still will grip the hair and pull it out some. (personal experience) I just bought some 1/4" size grooming bands and they don't stretch very well. I'm disappointed. I should have gotten the 3/8". I also use those clear plastic ones they sell in the woman's hair products section in stores. They are great, however, they slip out if there is not a bow holding them in. I've also seen my groomer do a really neat trick with the grooming bands and a hemostat. I bought a hemostat but for the life of me can't figure out how she does it. I go to her on Sunday and I will ask. |
