Don’t Soak Rubber Bands in Oil

Soaking rubber bands in olive oil for 3–5 minutes can help prevent breakage and snags, but it may also weaken the rubber band's elasticity. Yes the oil may weaken the rubber band a little but it's a whole lot better than weakening your hair. #braids #braider #braid #braidideas
