Clear Elastic Polybands Rubber Bands Pack of 1000 for Hair Ponytail by ElasticU

For the money, they're definitely worth it! There are plenty for less than $6 so the price makes the purchase worth it but for any more I would say no. While they do give you plenty of them and they last quite a long time, plain tan rubber bands would be much better for your hair. These split my ends (I used them when I braided my hair) every time I used them and I have always been told I have the strongest and healthiest hair my family and salon people have seen or felt. I started using around the same size rubber bands and they are softer and easier to gently twist around to get on and gently off in order to avoid hair damage. They are pretty hard and definitely plasticy rather than bendy and malleable like rubber bands,Overall, nice for the price but if you care about your hair you'll get better quality bands.

Lots and lots of clear bands that we use for our girls' hair. My youngest daughter has thick, full, and extremely curly hair. My oldest daughter has full, fine, straight hair. I feel like I've used these bands in most ways they could ever be used, due to the variety of ways that I use them I my girls' variant hair types. I have used them as a full, single ponytail holder for both girls because these bands do stretch out to a good 3" when needed, but are able to be used when a tiny band is needed as well. The material is nice as it holds like a "rubber" band and "feels" like a "rubber" band, but doesn't rip out hair like some of the rubber bands made for hair. All that said, sadly I won't buy them again. I've used about half the bag now so this isn't a situation where just some of the bands are defective. I don't trust them. They break. I have sent my daughter off to school with little French braids and she gets home with a messy head because one of the bands broke while she was sitting at her desk after lunch. I have done ponytails with them and even triple banded them, and after 6 hours, 2 hours, 20 minutes, they just break. I can stretch them with my fingers and have a hard time understanding WHY they break, because they seem withstanding. I'm going back to my hair pulling little purple RUBBER bands that don't break and that I don't have to carry 20 spares with me any time we go somewhere.

I have thick and coarse Asian hair so I needed a strong hair band that can hold my braids in place.My daughter has super thin hair that is like the size of spider silk so she needed a hair band that is gentle to her hair.Well these bands fit the bill for both of us. It has lasted all day and night for me. From the office to happy hour my hair stayed in tight. Same goes for my daughter. Through running and jumping these bands have kept my daughter's braids neatly in place. The hair bands have even kept French braids in overnight when my daughter wants wavy fair for the next day. When I take them out at the end of the day/night - my daughter's hair doesn't come along with it.Because it is so cheap I just use two bands each time and have yet to experience any breakage.I highly recommend them.

I bought these elastic bands with the expectation that they would break!Why? I felt more comfortable doing the rubber band method for box braids with rubber bands that would not be so tough on my hair.Spoiler alert, these rubber bands WILL break majority of the time. After oiling up my hair and wrapping the rubber bands three times around, they broke within 24 hours.*If planning to do rubber band method, oiling up hair allows for the elastic to loosen up. This will allow for an easier take down.*The elastic bands are not small, in comparison to black elastic rubber bands, and can wrap quite a few times!

For several years I had bought these type of elastic hair ties at the local store. My daughter routinely came home with one or more broken throughout the day from school. I bought these in the hopes that they might be a bit stronger. I have not been disappointed. They are thicker than the ones from the store, and they don't break easily. My daughter now comes back from a day playing at school with hairdo intact. Absolutely worth it.

I have to admit that when this little baggie showed up in a box all by itself, I felt like a super lame consumer. Especially because my local drug store has them (I later discovered). I think these are just fine, but I would recommend trying to get them on an order with something else . . . for the sake of better sustainability.

Well, the band is nice overall and not broken easily, it's happened 1 time so far so I am ok. nothing special, if you are ok with the price then go for it

With 4 girls in our home we go through quite a bit of these bands. They do what they're supposed to and last for about 2 uses. I use them to keep belt ends from flapping out. My daughters use them in their hair.
