I don't pull the "left over" hair at the end of her braids all the way through the rubberband on the last time I twist the band around, so that there's a little round stub. The left over hair then lines up with the braid and it's easier to hide on the inside of the loop in her original style.

...I'm not sure how much sense that makes. If it is too confusing I can borrow a camera from a roomate or something.
