Thank you!
The latex bands are very light in their hair and do hold very well, and I use them for bows always rather than the non-latex bands, but they can cause breakage if they scratch or pull at their hair. I prefer the scrunchies during the day while I am at work 'cuz they don't pull hair like the bands, especially the latex bands, and if the kids 'slide' them out of their hair, then I can just put them back and until I do, they just have hair in their eyes but absolutely no breakage. When the scrunchies stretch out a bit too much, I put them in a lingerie laundry bag and wash them...they do not require attention from the dryer after my washer spins them at 1,200 rpm
and then I re-use them. The only drawback to the scrunchies that I have found is they need a certain length of hair to hold and in my kids' very silky hair, I must use 4 wraps. I was not wrapping tight enough at one point, and when I first started trying to use them, their hair was too short, too, and the scrunchies would fly out as soon as they shook their heads. YT'ers' encouraging words caused me to try again until I got it right and I love them as much as I thought I would when I first tried my granddaughter's old 'baby scrunchies' on Brody and Mia.
I am glad the bands are working for you!
