Plaiting bands for flaxen mane

[Fuzzycat]

Hi, does anyone know of any plaiting bands that would match a flaxen mane?

 

[DappleDown]

You can buy clear ones.
Sometimes they come free in the packet with the crystal bands.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll have a look for the clear ones.

I've given up and I sew the plaits in

Franks a bit inbetweeny mane wise, red ontop, white underneath I also sew them in!

Just sew them in, if done properly the thread could be luminous purple and no one would be able to see it.

totally agree sewing looks best and is really easy to do once you get the hang of it.

I was sewing, but have now reverted to bands having discovered transparent ones. Works a treat

TBH I mostly took to sewing as it was the only way to tame it- it's thick and wirey in spite of pulling- especially for the duration of a hunting day, and as it is what I have always done I find it much easier to sew a roll, I get a bit cackhanded with a band and I can never get them to look how I want.

yeah Kira can shake her plaits out if I band them... and I used to plait the hunters overnight with bands so I can get them good and tight!

Her mane is such a hedge that sewing is the only way I can guarantee they will stay in as the top ones end up quite weighty Takes moments to do
