Ponytails..

Ok, since my hair got sadly chopped off (which I never wanted) I decided on the first day there was no way I was ever wearing it down until it grew at least to my shoulders. It's about 1-1½ inches above. So I finally figured a way to keep it up (or most of it anyway) and now I just need to know about what I should use to hold it up. It's going to be up for months, I just want to keep it healthy until it grows out.

I read on HairBoutique '17 Ponytail Tips' that ponytails should always be secured with hair friendly elastics or clips. That was #4. So instead of using just regular hair elastics/bands *these* (without the little metal thing) should I use something like these? *click* The regular ones seem to leave a big 'dent' in my hair if I have them in for long peroids of time, the little elastic ones don't look as if they do that much. Plus, the little ones don't pull out any hair when I take them out like the big ones do.

Thanks for the advice.. were you talking about these scrunchies though? I just think those would be awful looking in my hair, simply because my hair is so short. They may not even hold it anyway since they are kind of bulky.. I kind of just hate how they look. They just dont give a classy, stylish look.
