The reason we started doing two is actually because she didn’t have enough hair to reach to the middle of her head, lol.<br /> We use the exact ones that @Pumuckl: linked, and they work with less hair, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-pigtails#post-2816902 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 14:42:57 +0000 justjules 2816902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: ok that's the size I probably will need. Thanks! I'm going to try and see if she has enough hair </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-pigtails#post-2816877 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 13:30:41 +0000 Pumuckl 2816877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@justjules: we use these for baby pigtails. The smallest size isn’t even as big as my pinky in diameter: <a href="https://intl.target.com/p/goody-174-multi-size-elastic-275-ct/-/A-11962409" rel="nofollow">https://intl.target.com/p/goody-174-multi-size-elastic-275-ct/-/A-11962409</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-pigtails#post-2816874 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 13:23:40 +0000 AB810 2816874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@justjules: The tiny plastic elastics hold hair really well, even if it's just a little bit of hair. Like others I cut them out so it doesn't pull. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-pigtails#post-2816872 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 13:13:32 +0000 justjules 2816872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the recs. I'm now rethinking if she has enough hair. It's really thin- the elastics posted seem too thick.<br /> @MrsRoo: what a cutie. DD has even less hair so i may need to wait </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-pigtails#post-2816860 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 12:38:23 +0000 LCTBQE 2816860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRoo: cuuuuuuteeee!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-pigtails#post-2816843 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 11:50:41 +0000 alphagam84 2816843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the small rubber elastics but they pull the hair painfully when you take them out so I always cut them out to avoid pulling her hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-pigtails#post-2816815 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 10:53:10 +0000 peachykeen 2816815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just use the little plastic Goody ones (multi-colored). DD1 has SUPER thin hair and didn't have enough for any type of ponytail until at least 1.5 (probably older) but we're still using them at 3.5. I wind them a few times and they definitely stay put. They don't seem to pull out hair when I take them out but I either unwind them (not just pull like DH tries to do) or cut them out if they're really hard to get out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-pigtails#post-2816812 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 10:47:07 +0000 bhbee 2816812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually cut ours out! That helped with not ripping hair out. </p> <p>(Even now for 6yo hair - I find i can’t reuse them once they stretch) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-pigtails#post-2816805 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 10:37:39 +0000 kiddosc 2816805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love love love these. They're silicon, so they don't catch in her hair but are stretchy enough that I can wrap them enough times. The ones linked above always fell out in my LO's hair, but these stay put. </p> <p><a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/scunci-reg-the-evolution-20-count-mini-hair-elastic/1020114152?Keyword=scunci%20evolution" rel="nofollow">https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/scunci-reg-the-evolution-20-count-mini-hair-elastic/1020114152?Keyword=scunci%20evolution</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-pigtails#post-2816800 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 10:28:06 +0000 MrsRoo 2816800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use little colored rubber ones. My 2 yo has barely any hair and these hold well. She’s never complained about me putting them in or taking them out, shes actually loves picking out which color elastics we put in every morning.<br /> This is the amount of hair we are working with for reference. </p> [attach=1345/18/p7c5mv.337x600.9B2B8B5B-5CD1-415D-B03C-08ED7FD68A88.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-pigtails#post-2816797 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 10:16:46 +0000 bubblegum 2816797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the same ones as Snowjewelz and they're perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-pigtails#post-2816781 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 09:36:55 +0000 snowjewelz 2816781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not like the black rubber ones even if they say it doesn't hurt, it does! I believe these are the ones I use and my girls both have fine hair. </p> <p><a href="https://www.target.com/p/goody-174-girls-ouchless-mixed-pack-elastics-45ct/-/A-15642839" rel="nofollow">https://www.target.com/p/goody-174-girls-ouchless-mixed-pack-elastics-45ct/-/A-15642839</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-pigtails#post-2816775 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 09:26:28 +0000 justjules 2816775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E is almost one and maaaaybe has enough hair for a little pigtail. </p> <p>What elastics are good for thin hair?<br /> Will it damage her hair if I pull it back? She doesn't have a lot of it. </p>
