If you do use rubber bands, make sure to lubricate them with oil. This can help reduce any possible breakage from the hair bands and friction with your hair.
Length Needed To Achieve This Style This style works best on short-medium to longer hair. This hairstyle is also achieved on stretched hair which you can achieve through stretching methods such as twists, banding, braids, etc. This hairstyle can also be done on transitioning and relaxed hair as well.
