Also, thank you everyone for the band suggestions! I have tried all of the types suggested and they all turned out to be too big or just didn't work out.. Especially orthodontic bands, I couldn't even get them to loop twice. Loom bands are really cheap and come in nice colors too but they are big. I basically have a whole big bag of bands that are not working, lol.
I ordered the lainee bands since I haven't given those a try and they are pretty popular.. Hopefully these will end up being stretchy enough to make a secure loop! I ordered the size small 1/4".. I'll update when I receive them  |
I agree that the two band method works better on a more mature growth of hair. Placing your band closer to the eyes until the small hair growth grows out will help keep some of it out of the eyes.
Just try to avoid the rubber bands because the little hairs break off much more easily when you use those. You want a smooth surface on the band that won't catch those little hairs and break them off and make sure you redo the topknot often. Leaving a topknot in gives the band a chance to shift around and break the hair. It can be so frustrating trying to grow those hairs out!
