I read on YT about someone who uses scrunchies. I found them at the dollar store, something like 100 for a $1. These are small terry stretchy bands. I have to twist it around numerous times, but it doesn't appear to be harming the hair at all.

Ever since Roxie joined our family, Cali can no longer wear bows. If I put one in for photos or to take her out, Roxie has it out in 10 seconds. Roxie always keeps her bow in though!! I tried the colored scrunchies and she got those out to so I can only put clear rubber bands in. I tried spraying the bows with bitter apple and that didn't work either.

This tread has got me laughing. All the work to get them pretty and they pull the bows out. Too funny.

I use the little "scrunchy" ponytail holders for babies. That's Sadie's everyday look. It doesn't bother her at all. Whenever I put a bow with bands on it on her she messes with it and even if she doesn't get it out she messes up her hair. I recently made a bunch of bows and put alligator clips on them. That way I can dress her up with them and still use the scrunchies that don't break her hair or bother her. She still isn't crazy about the bows but they aren't on that much. Even if it's just for a walk or when we're going out in public, I can just clip one of the bows in with her scrunchie. If I had more than one, I'm sure it wouldn't work though.

I put Jada's up with the terry scrunchies too and Bogie pulls them out too, and if I put in a bow he has it pulled out and is chewing on it. I have never caught him in the act either...sooo sneaky. I can't even leave Jada's up and out of her eyes unless I am at home. I just gave up and leave it down unless I am home.
