Sissy's hair is very fine and thin on her head, too. I have noticed that she has several spots of breakage, particularly on one side. I've been using different types of hair things rather than bands. The plastic kiddie snap tight barrettes work pretty well. I also found these little snap clips at a store inside a rest area in Ohio and I recently bought some cool "snap on" bows from Ebay. The bow has a piece of elastic on the back with a snap on it. You pull the elastic around the hair and snap it in place. They work great and no breakage or hair pulling out even if they pull the bow out themselves!!
I also take the top knot out every night before bed. Sometimes I let her run around for part of the morning without one. Her hair is getting longer and falls over her eyes, but she manages to see. Here is a picture of her with the "Snap On" bow....
