Ponytail holders

When I first started growing out my hair, I began using "Goody" twin bead ponytail holders when I put my hair up in a ponytail. They seem so much easier to use....instead of yanking hair through a hair band, you wrap the beads around a couple of times and you get a nice tight ponytail without the damage to your hair.I thought I was the last of any middle age women with long hair to use these until about two weeks ago when I saw a woman wearing her hair up in a high ponytail using a ponytail holder where the beads were metallic gold. It looked great in her black hair. Since then, I have scoured all kinds of boutiques in a few malls trying to find this classier type of ponytail holder.I was wondering if someone who reads this board has any ideas on where to find this accessory. The internet seems to have a whole lot in the way of scrunchies and barrettes, but I can't seem to have much luck so far with this.

I suggest that you try making your own. Go to a sewing or craft store and buy elastic cord and decorative buttons or beads. Michaels is a store with a lot of beads of this type - wooden, metal, plastic - many kinds. Have fun!
