When Mandie's was growing out, I had this same issue. You can by the little baby clippie barrettes, but you will need to keep putting it in. OR, if the hair is long enough, you can loop the hair around the clip and then fasten it.
A good thing to try is top knot gel on the little hairs to make them stay up. Might even try vaseline - I am having to use vaseline still right now because I cut Mandie's bangs several months ago because I liked her having bangs lol. Growing them out into her topknot know so I put a little vaseline and comb them up into her topknot.
I don't use rubber bands. You can get the little mini scrunii's love them! I use them all the time (even with my bows).
