Black Hair Elastics 20mm, 250 Count Snag Free Rubber Bands for Ponytail and Braiding by ElasticU

I ordered these in June and they were perfect for my toddler's pigtails! When I ran out this month I didn't hesitate to order the exact same ones again. However, this second batch is nothing like the first. The packaging has changed and they aren't stretchy at all. They won't work for my daughter's hair. I was perplexed and wondered if perhaps the size was different (maybe the June batch was a larger size?) but both orders said 20mm. I'm very disappointed.

The first time I ordered these in July they were wonderful and I gave them 5 stars. I just ran out and ordered again from the same listing. What arrived was different In quality from last time and was a complete waste of money. These are nearly impossible to get into hair. They are not elastic at all. Difficult to stretch and once stretched open a bit they remain that way. They fall out of my kids hair each time I have tried them. I wasn't able to return them, because it wasn't an Amazon verified purchase. I won't be ordering from this listing again unfortunately.

I previously reviewed these and I loved them- sturdy, re-useable and slid right out of my hair without pulling - when I ran out I ordered more and this new batch has NO STRETCH - I cant even tell if they will last since my fingers are too weak to get one around a ponytail- I am very disappointed, I can't use them, this was a waste of money.

FINALLY! As a mom of 3 girls I was so sad when the Goody brand stopped carrying their medium size strong clear elastics. They were replaced by super stretchy cheap elastics that didn't even stay tight, even when wrapped several times, and were sticky getting out. These however, are the perfect size, super strong, and easy to take out. I'm stocking up. So happy to have found these!

These elastics are really not reusable. The first time you use one, they have good stretch and hold your hair well enough. However, after you use it once, it stays stretched out and breaks if you reuse it. This product was fairly inexpensive, so I won't give them a poor rating - but I usually buy the Goody brand ones and you can use those dozens of times.

These stretch out after one use and generally break after a couple of uses. Sometimes they'd randomly snap & break while they were in my hair. They also pull on your hair when you take them out. Honestly, they suck. Whatever happened to the good ones that Goody used to make? Now all of them have the same problems.

this is a great price for all of these considering I usually break them after one use, but these are strong! they're pretty small though, and I don't have thick hair, if you do you probably couldn't wrap it around twice. If I realllllly stretch it I can wrap it three times around the smallest end of my braid. Definitely great quality! Can use more than once.

These are not like the old clear elastic hair bands. These are thin, stretch out too much, and disintegrate within hours. I can't tell you how many times I had my hair up in a pony tail with these (and I even double up) and they literally break and my hair falls down. Don't waste your money.
