    Yet another thing to worry about. *sigh* I wear ponytails all the time. Even when my hair is braided, I still use the elastic bands without metal.

    When I had thick WL hair in high school I never even though about this stuff. Just shampooed & conditioned every other day, and hot oil treatments a couple times a month. I was pretty lazy, so I rarely ever blow fried or curled my hair though.

    I think that's called benign neglect! A lot of people here (especially me ) highly recommend it!

    I use these exclusively for my ponytails and braids.....I haven't found that they cause any damage.....

    A good thread! I was thinking about this myself the other day as I wear a ponytail everyday simply because my hair is too short to do anything else.

    I need to invest in these Goody elastics.
