Safe way to deal with daughter’s hair?

My daughter is 22 months old and her hair is out of control. She takes out all her clips and bows. I can’t put it in a ponytail because she takes out the little rubber band. It’s fine when I’m right next to her, but I don’t want her taking out the rubber band and eating it or something if I turn my head.

What do you do to control your toddler’s hair?
