My daughter has really straight, thick hair. Lately I've been noticing a LOT of breakage where her pony tail is. Her hair isn't really long enough to do a full braid. I've been putting her ponytail in different places (higher/lower), French braiding the top, etc., just to try minimize how often the hair tie hits the same spot. But I am curious if anyone else has had this problem, and can recommend a particular hair tie that will be more gentle on my daughter's hair? Or even a different hairstyle that holds up well for a little kid who likes to be upside down most of the time?
