I have found on Amazon baby hair ties with attached bow so hopefully it will be more safe. She has already tried to chew the hair ties.
My daughter is 4 1/2 years old now and has been having her hair done since she was 3 months old. I’ve always either used the elastic bands or the small hair bands and never had an issue with her taking them out or choking.
@Kamila thank you - can you share the link please?
Following as I’m looking for the same! I was going to get the small elastics but worried she’ll choke
