Do ponytails damage your hair because they pull tightly on the head or do only the ones with metal damage it?
Both can be true. If you pull your hair tightly and bind it, you can stress the hair and cause breakage or splits. The metal connectors on the elastics can catch the hair and tear or break it when you remove the elastic.

Are thick scrunchies covered with velvet also that bad for you? Those are what I use every time I put my hair in a ponytail or a quick bun.

As long as the fabric is not rough, a scrunchie is great for ponytailing or bunning your hair.

That's good, because my hair is too thick to hold in regualr ponytail holders, so I use a scrunchie almost every day. I try not to pull my hair too tight.

Fabric-covered scrunchies are great in many ways, but when I don't want colored fabric flapping about my head, I usually use the covered, non-metal elastics. There is such a good selection out now in different sizes and hair-coordinating colors. Nice to use in conjuntions with updos 'n stix because they don't show.
Last week I tried a new product by Scuncii, they are nylon bands. The package says, "NO METAL, NO DAMAGE!" They also come in hide-in-your-hair shades. I bit & bought a pack. OK: if you have any amount of hair at all you can get one use out of each, then it's too stretched out & warped to re-use. They hold pretty well once they are in, BUT they take hair out when you take them out!!
Oh, yes! Broke off a whole hank of hair that I can't spare! I think this is due to the way they stretch & warp upon removal.
Into the garbage they went!

Poor dear! I'm sorry to hear you had difficulties removing those.
If you are looking for another type of hair tie for ponytails or braid ends, I highly recommend Bunjii hair ties. They are made of covered elastic that goes through a cord lock hub. You put your hair through it only once, then wrap the elastic around your hair with the desired tension, then lock the elastic into the cord lock. They come in a variety of colors and styles. Check them out at
www.Bunjii.com

I have found that the "ouchless" suiinci (don't remember how to spell it, yikes!) brand hair ties do not pull my hair at all, and they stay in place, which is saying something with my thick heavy hair. I don't know, maybe it's just cause my hair is tough, but they have never ripped my hair.

I have used velvet scrunchies for years to tie my hair up and keep it out of the way.
Yes, they do slip out easily (my hair is extremely fine and slick), but it's better than fighting a losing battle with any other hair toy.
I've started using the ouchless, bandless type made by Goody. These are the sort without metal or glue or a "juncture" of any kind. Just a seamless nylon O-shaped thing. They're very handy for swimming!
