I get them at Wal-mart in the hair goods or baby section.

I have the cloth bands but they won't stay in Bailey's hair, it's probably better for thicker haired yorkies, lucky Bogie

I'm on the same band with each girl since I bought the package a couple weeks ago. It's what I use for everyday.

I assume they are elastic, they are a little thick, looked 'wrapped' and have no metal parts, you can see one 'joint'. They have very little stretch, which is why they stay in and last so long, but because they are smooth coated, when you pull straight up on them, grabbing all the loops at once, they will slide right off. Fortunately, the girls lack of opposable thumbs is preventing them from, so far, getting them off each other.

I say 30 because I don't remember how many.

I'd like to see pics too!

I only put a half top knot in if I want a bow or colored band in for going somewhere. It's seems to work well for both of us. She hated taking her hair down at night and then having it hang down over her face. And I hated seeing her tilt her head back to look at me, lol. Plus the hair in her eyes make them water so much.

Are there pics of her with the visor cut?
