I actually was using rubber bands from jawproducts.com and they are great prices!! Last time I bought them they were between $1 and $2 and their shipping is great, you only pay about 66 cents shipping plus 2.00 handling i think. Here are the ones I bought!

I think I bought the non latex in the 4.5 oz Heavy, 3/16"
These elastics are great for topknots!

I used to use the clear bands that don't stretch that you can get from walmart. When I went to the groomer, they suggested to use the rubber bands used for braces (like the one in the link above). It is a lot easier to put those on because they stretch, but the problem is that they are hard to take off. Also, the last time I took it off she had a big knot that I had to brush out. The good things about these are that she can't take it out herself. She rubs her face all over the carpet and rug when I put her hair up because she wants to take it out. Haha, she's so funny.

And yes, the rubber bands from jawproducts.com are the ones orthodontists use, and i always heard those are the best rubber bands for dog groomers to use so thats why i tried them and for me they worked great. your dog sounds adorable!

Chloe's topknot is grey? silver? blue? It tangles around anything I put in her topknot. Before her first B'day, she was black up top, that hair never got tangled.

I want to find something that doesn't tangle, don't think I will tho, do you

Gina,
I have a tomboy, too. She looks so cute when I get her hair up and ten minutes later she looks like a tornado hit her.

Or especially when she and her sister play, forget it! I'm thinking of getting her a puppy cut because I can't stand her hair in her eyes all the time. She has very thick, cottony hair and she looks like a sheepdog with her hair over her eyes!

PS

Why do you get the non-latex? Is there any specific reason or do you just like them better?

Here's a pic to show you what the barrettes look like.

I'm going to the dollar store today to see if I can find some barrettes. Adrianna, me, and rubber bands DO NOT mesh well.

I've been meaning to go shopping for the little girl barrettes, also. Abbie's hair is so fine, nothing stays in. But, I don't usually do anything for her around the house, because of breakage. She just goes around looking like a wild woman. lol Reminder: need to go brush her. Now.
