Ribbons will not damage hair. This is important. We never want to cause breakage with what we put in a child's hair but it happens. Some people soak rubber bands in oil before they put them in. Some people never buy hair bands with metal pieces on them. Still others won't buy bands with elastic and opt solely for the fabric hair bands. The great thing about ribbons is that its fabric and has no elastic or metal pieces. While you may need to use a hair band with the ribbon, the ribbon itself will not cause breakage.
Ribbons can be changed out easily. Whenever I'm doing a style with ponytails I usually use ribbons to decorate because it is so easy to untie the ribbon and put in a new one that matches the child's outfit the next day. Beads are so adorable in little girls hair, but unfortunately it takes more than 30 seconds to change out beads.
Ribbons are versatile. Ribbons can be used for headbands, pony tails, lacing between cornrows, etc. Use can also weave them into a few breads for a fun look. Even how you use them in a ponytail is different. I've done a simple bow around a ponytail with one strand of ribbon. I've also taken a hair elastic and tie different colors or ribbons in knots all around the ponytail for a cheerleader type of look (this is Bre's favorite since she wants to be a cheerleader). Or if you want to get a pre-made one children's clothing stores usually sell korker hair bands with curly ribbon wrapped around the elastic.
Ribbons are just plain cheap! I've never paid more than $2 for a spool of ribbon. You could buy a complete set of ribbons ready to match any outfit in your child's wardrobe for under $20. I haven't found any hair accessory that cheap yet.
