On some advice here instead of ouchless elastics... And they look pretty stupid... death to the scrunchy! I can feel it slipping out already and it's only been in for 2 minutes. Gotta love heavy long hair! |

Between a rock and a hard place, I see. I think it also depends on HOW you use the scrunchie. It's best used for low ponies, for securing the ends of braids, and for doing segmented ponies a.k.a. Bubbatails. Not for holding a high pony if that's what it's doing for you. There are a lot of different kinds of scrunchies out there, so don't feel limited. You could also take the sacrifices and go back to ouchless elastics if they work better for you, but there's a trade-off. You'd have to pick between the lesser of two evils: severe damage or 'stupidity'? I hope you find a happy medium The velvet scrunchies are especially nice.

Yeah, I don't wear mine out anymore, but they're great for getting the
hair out of the way around the house. Some don't stay in on me
either, (especially satin ones) but sometimes you can get them to if
you put in one, wrap your hair around it in a bun, then put another one
over it. ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

I think a good solution for me... would be to learn how to french braid very quickly. Except that I'm a perfectionist, and therefore french braids take me forever to put in...especially on myself. But for now *puts hat on fuzzy head* I should get to class. Haha. ------------- |

Maybe 10-12 years ago I used to buy cotton cloth-covered
elastics. They used to hold quite well. But since then I
haven't been able to find anything but terrycloth-covered
elastics. The terrycloth is largely (if not entirely) made of
synthetic (plastic) material, and does not hold in place at all.
Basically, it sux. I use the Goody ouchless elastics to tie off the end of my braid. ------------- |
