    Plain Goody fabric elastics to secure my braid, or cloth scrunchies.

    I have 5-6 scrunchies for ponytails, thin black regular elastic (metal free) as back-up and for sleep braids, and small transluscent brownish rubber elastic to tie my day braids.

    Scrunchies or the regular ones without the metal thingy.

    I have a bunch of Scunci elastics, no metal of course... I also have some flat elastics, not sure if they're Scunci or Goody, and I like them better, they don't seem to snap as fast. Admittedly I use elastics as bases way more than I should but I haven't really noticed any breakage.

    The only hair-ties I use are the ones that are made out of fold-over elastic.

    I make my own, it's beyond simple and very cheap. The link is not attached to me in any way, I don't sell stuff. I do buy FOE from some etsy sellers and then make my own hairties for DD and myself, but that's it.

    I really dislike all other hair-ties. I mainly use forks and sticks anyway.

    Usually scrunchies. I really want to get some satin ones, but I use soft jersey cotton ones and they don't seem to cause damage other than possibly being a little drying. I also sometimes use those little poofy stretchy fabric rings for the ends of my braids... hope you know what I mean! If I can't find any of those or scrunchies, I'll use the knotted flat elastic things that others have posted pictures of.

    I SHOULD make own scrunchies but since I never bother I've used scrunchies made out of phone cord.

    I always use metal free hair ties because I wanna make sure I'm not yanking hair outta my head!

    I just use the regular ouchless elastics. I've been slowly using up a 30-pack (they stretch out really fast) for probably a year now. Almost time to get some more.

    I have been considering cutting up to waist lately :O It is currently just above TB, b/c I keep trimming it...
