I've never used plain rubber bands exactly for the reasons you mentioned. I'll look for those clear bands the next time I'm at the store. I'm secretly wondering what my office mates would think if I showed up with beads, leather, and feathers laced into my beard. Lady Triibeard would probably have me committed.

Or you can use Got2B Hair spray - the stuff in the yellow can. That works well. I don't use rubber bands either. I braid it, tuck it, stuff it, pin it, spray it. I just may look for those rubber bands as well and give them a try. One thing you have to be careful of when you spray the sides ... is spray in your eyes . Sometimes I have to make sure that the nozzle is clear or it sprays in differing directions.
Fun to see you do it and then post a picture. It does take a bit of practice, but you can do it!
