seriously, find a kid with braces. LOL. i got a set from ebay for $2 for 100 bands. but i also paid S&H, and i think it came to $4 total. eek. i pay my friend's son $3 for a bag from his orthodontist LOLOLOL. i took him out to lunch last weekend because he got me colored bands this time. his friends think he's SO cool to have "older cute chick friend" take him out to lunch. i told him to reiterate to them how much they DONT want braces. because i am NOT feeding all of his friends for the good of my dog's hairdo's...

with them, i always coat them in a conditioner so they dont break the hair. i dip 'em in Chris Christensen's Ice on Ice spray and it allows for the bands to come out of the hair SOOOO much easier without pulling.

Do you just dip in and right out or do you let them soak for a few minutes? I usually just cut Paris' bands out but I am having difficulty with getting the bows out.

i pull the spray nozzle right out and let it drip onto the bands, lol. then i set the band down for a minute while i finish brushing buttercup's hair. if i'm pigtailing more than one dog, i put a few bands in the palm of my hand, spray my hand a few times until the bands are all soaked, and set them on a magazine on the table (because i dont put things where they belong, that's why LOL) and the bands get pretty soaked with the conditioner.

hope this helps!
