Any suggestions of what types of ponies/hair ties/scrunchies to use for my 4 DD? She has thin but curly hair that gets extremely knotty. We brush after the bath at night. She likes to wear half ponies. I’ve been using the rubber band type that you break to take out. She sometimes complains they hurt and they bother her and she pulls on them. Are there other types that are more comfortable and won’t fall out? I want it to keep her hair in place and of course look cute 😊

For very thin hair I found only the rubber bands stayed in. Dds hair is thicker now and I use these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08G1C1VH4/

Ok thanks. I actually use those ones myself. But her hair is still very thin…

Try a different brand for the rubber bands. Some are more comfortable than others.

I use these for dd thin wavy/straight. It's plastic elastic. I think goody has something similar.

(Possibly the rubber ones hold better but these are definitely more gentle. I never tried the rubber)

My daughter has fine curly hair. We use big cloth scrunchies for a big pony at night. I find it really helps keep it from getting crazy and knotty. Then during the day we use the ones that are like potholder loop material. Like these: 100 Pcs Baby Hair Ties, Seamless Cotton Toddler Hair Ties for Girls and Kids, Multicolor Small Soft Hair Elastics Ponytail Holders(10Colors) https://a.co/d/8ZL35d7

Thanks! Good to know about how to keep it at night. She usually doesn’t have a pony in her hair to sleep.
