Yorkie Rubbers????? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I knew this would get your attention.....LOLOL

I was wondering if the rubber band thing that orthodontists use on braces would work on our Yorkies hair. At my son's last visit he was given a bunch of these to use. They are real small and you'd have to use a crochet hook or something to get the hair threw, but I thought instead of those that use a rubber band and have to wrap it around and around, that one of these small ones would be better. It is still a rubber band though. What do ya think?

We have some of those for Mojo's hair.....in fact, somewhere, somehow, we have two different sizes of them......ones are really tiny and then the others are small, but not tiny. They work good and are clear - which I like!

Yup! They work! That is what we use in our yorkies' hairs!!!!!!!!!!

I use them for my girls, i find them kinder on the hair, you have to stretch them before you use them, but they work like a charm!

Where are you getting yours? I found a web-site that has them:

http://www.thompsonorthodontics.com/item39832.ctlg

Is this a good price?

Jenn218 · 12-08-2006, 02:10 PM

I can't remember where I got mine......I think one pack was from a local vet supply store.....it is called Halberts, but I believe it is just a local "mom and pop" store here.

I believe that someone had mentioned before about getting them from their dentist......so you might try there too!

I LOVE them! my boyfriend's mom cut Kayah's bangs short a while ago and it aggrivated me because when the hair was growing out (still is), normal rubber bands wouldn't keep all the hair. And PLUS they stay in ALL day

Kathryn_V · 12-08-2006, 09:13 PM

lol... I'll have them in different colors on my site! even blue for the boys.. and brown for yorkie colored hair... and clear.

Another thought:

I was at a tack store yesterday, looking at halters and things. They have rubberbands for doing horse braids too. There was about 200 of them with a 1/2 inch diameter for 2.95.
