Grooming or hair bands??

[scrapindee]

I used to buy my hairbands from gofetch.com but that website isn't working anymore. Does anyone have a good recommendation on where to buy bands for topknots or ponytails?

Thank you in advance.

I bought great grooming bands from Susan at BowBiz and from Jenny at toplinepets.com. Here is a link for go fetch if you want to get the ones that you already have. I also provided links to the bands from Jenny and Susan.

Yorkietalk member mimimomo sells grooming supplies. She has the regular latex, latex free and snag free which are super stretchy and easy to apply for even old hands. toplinepet.com

lisaly, I guess we were posting at the same time!

Google and you'll find tons of sites which sell by the gross and probably where resellers purchase theirs.

I just ordered a big bag of band from show biz got both sizes are hope they are the really strong kind, I also just orderd a lot of stuff from go fetch and did not know they had the bands, Anyone know what the differences are Ijust know I need a strong ones

[lisaly]

The ones you ordered from BowBiz are strong. I also like the non-latex ones from Jenny, but they have a lot more stretch and aren't as strong. Jenny also has the regular grooming bands which I'm sure are excellent quality, as all of her things are.

I also got a big box from Jenny about three weeks ago, I love the pet silk serum and the show spray, Lola has pretty dry hair so the serum really works well, now if I could only remember to close the bottle twice it tipped over and the pop up part of the cap was open and the stuff leaked out. LOL I think I will be reordering sooner than I thought

what to you mean regular grooming bands, what's the difference between those and say the ones I am getting from Bow Biz

I think WalMart carries latex bands in the people hair section...

When I said the regular grooming bands, I meant the latex ones. Jenny has the non-latex ones, too, and they are really easy to use, but they aren't as strong as the latex ones.

Lola always looks beautiful, and I love her hair! You might want to try rubbing a tiny bit of Argan oil on your hands and then rubbing it on Lola's hair. It helps with the dryness. Also, you should consider giving her a little bit of coconut oil each day. It has so many great health benefits.

From Bark magazine;

The Well-Oiled Dog


Winter weather can be a refreshing change of pace, but at the same time, low humidity and home heating can dry out your dog’s skin and coat. While we humans might opt for topical moisturizing creams and lotions, our fine canine friends do best when they’re well oiled. The healthiest fix for your dog’s winter dandruff and dry skin problems is to add oil to his diet. You don’t have to run out and purchase special oils; two of the best, olive and coconut, are easy to find in supermarkets and health food stores. I recommend them for glowing skin and coat and general health.


Let’s begin with olive oil. I particularly like cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil for cooking. Many commonly used oils break down at high heat, which can affect digestibility. Olive oil does not, making it the preferred oil to use when cooking for your dog. Rich in antioxidants, especially vitamin E, and phytonutrients, olive oil is best stored in the refrigerator to keep it from being degraded by heat and light. It tends to harden during refrigeration, but will liquefy when allowed to warm up to room temperature. If you simply want to add olive oil to your dog’s meal, use a teaspoon a day for a 30 to 40 lb. Dog, or up to a tablespoon for a large 90 lb. Dog.


To keep a dog’s coat soft and rich, coconut oil is my favorite. Plus, it decreases “doggy” odor; even dogs with a musty scent begin to smell sweet. Coconuts are classified as a “functional food,” and their oil provides many benefits beyond its super-healthy nutritional content. The secret to this oil’s healing power is its medium-chain fatty acids, which have special healthgiving properties. The fats in coconut oil are similar to those in mother’s milk, and they have similar healing attributes. Aside from human breast milk, coconut oil is nature’s most abundant source of lauric acid, which has been used to kill viruses, bacteria and yeast as well as prevent tooth decay. It also supports thyroid function and enhances metabolism. Dogs love coconut oil on their food as a condiment. One-half to one teaspoon daily for a medium-sized dog (30 to 40 lbs.) Is an average portion. Coconut oil should also be refrigerated.


Supporting your dog’s biological terrain is the single most important way to maintain his well being and help him have healthy skin and a great coat. Both olive and coconut oil are healthy for your dog’s insides, and it will show on his outside. The welloiled dog will have soft skin and a coat that shines all winter long.

I've purchase from both of the members already mentioned and they're both great! Most recently, though, I've purchase tiny baby sized scrunchies from the beauty section at Wal-mart. They've been working out great and are super easy for every day use.

for daily use that is what I do, it's either family dollar or dollar general that sells for $1.00 a bag of about 100 in both pastel and bright colors. I use a new one once or twice a day because they stretch out. I need to wrap it around 4 times sometime three but then if often works itself out

Lislaly, thank you for all that good advice, I bought coconut oil a while back, but can't figure out how to get Lola to eat it, at first she would lick it off my finger or off her placemat but now turns her nose up at it. I free feed her so her bowl stays down all the time which works for us so I don't want to change that. Any advice on how to get her to eat it would be great. I have never heard of Argan oil, I will have to look that up.
thanks again

I think it's family dollar. Or at least that's where I got my 100 count bag. It has a bunch of different colors and are basically like mini scrunchies. I had to go to dollar general though to get a pack of mini clips. I made my rounds to the dollar stores one day after work lol

What kind of mini clips do they have at dollar general, that's a good deal at family dollar for those little scrunchies.
