What type of hair bands or ponytail holders do you use to make your afro puffs, etc? I haven't been able to find anything that will hold my hair without popping. Thanks in advance. Sorry if this has been asked before.

for a regular puff, i use ouchless or brastrap headbands

I usually use a silk or satin scarf to tie my hair back or one of those ouchless headband elastics.

Same here, Scunci Thich Hair elastic hair bands are great they have great stretch and I use them all the time to do my puffs. They work so well for me and it holds my puff in place with out giving me a spliting head ache. Check out how it holds I included a link to my puff.

I always just used knee highs! Cheap and they work great!

 

[shebababy]

Yep.

I haven't worn my hair 'out' yet, but I purchased a few 'alice' bands, but someone told me my hair would be too thick to hold in them

I cut the leg off my old pantyhose.

I will have to try the knee hi's. I have the ouchless bands and I can wear them but if I try to double it to pull my hair back tighter it just rolls up and pops off. The woes of a big flat head.

 

[babyblue]

I use either the goody ouchless bands or I use a pretty scarf

 

[mkstar826]

Goody ouchless headbands. They're good because you can double them and get it tighter or wear it regularly for a looser fit.

Agreeing with the "Ouchless Headband" ladies. They are too big for my puff, so I end up putting a knot in part of it to make it smaller. Or sewing a button on one end and doubling the headband and looping the button end in the looped in. Holds the puff great!

I use these to make my puff

I double one around my neck, slick my hair back with a brush or some water, then I slide the doubled up headband over my hair until the puff is where I want it.

After my puff is formed I sometimes wrap it around one more time to make a snug ponytail.
