Others will contribute, but I'll add my two-cents. Cali's hair is very long so she has to have a top knot. For every day bands I use small scrunchies because I think they are easier on the hair. Then, at bedtime, I pull the scrunchies back a little bit to loosen it for the night and scratch her head a little bit (she loves that). The next morning I put a new scrunchie on and repeat the process. Hope that helps.
Always consider if it is too tight.
Good luck
