I went looking around at one of my local Dollar General discount stores. And found some hair ties that have no metal clasps. I recall someone saying that they have never seen these before. They are called tail sox or something like that made by the Suave company they seem to be pretty easy on my hair. And I got 17 ties for $1! Which I think was very well worth that dollar. And I also got some wide tooth combs which seems to work very well also. They glide right through your hair providing you have all the tangles out and they were only a dollar also. I thought this was worth sharing. So if you want a good comb to use or a hair tie that is easy on your hair and you have a Dollar General in your area it might be worth going to check out.
Good luck,

Hello Jann I live in the midwest in the state of Iowa.Dollar Generals are all over not sure about in the Western states. But they're all over in the midwest and out East. You might try looking at some sort of a dollar store or even wal-mart or k-mart may have them if you are interested in getting some.
Good luck
