I love these hair elastics. Normally I use the thicker ones, but this brand only. My hair is super long and I always wear it up at work. These work well, until my cats steal them and hide the elastics on me. I only ever had these break after I used them to the point that they no longer had any elastic in them. I would never use any other brand of hair elastic ever again, these are just amazing. They do not rip, tear or get tangled in my hair, ever, even when wet.
I LOVE these! I've only had a couple break on me and that was because I had used them over and over again. My hair doesn't ever get stuck in them and they're super comfortable. Plus, the color spectrum is great.
This review is for both the thing elastics and the thicker ones. First of all, I have thick, curly hair, so if I use the thin elastics, I generally use two together to make them stronger and because two seem to keep my pony tails in tighter. I do find that after many uses, they will either snap or the elastic separates from the material.
With the thick ones, I find that when I go to stretch them out to use on my hair, quite often they snap right away. When they don't snap, they hold my hair really well. Again, as with the thin elastics, after many uses, they will either snap or the elastic separates from the material.
In general, they are good elastics for short term use. It's a good thing they come with a ton in a package because the do eventually wear out. (I've seen friends who have some that are soooooooo stretched out from use and theirs never snapped! Actually kinda' jealous because those stretched out ones work so well! I find the thick ones can be hard to wrap around hair the first few times.) They are decently priced too, so it's not the end of the world when they do break. The fact that there is material around the elastic is fantastic because just plain elastic pulls out your hair. And, there are no metal end pieces, which also pull out your hair, so that is great as well.
I use a lot of hair ties, especially since my job requires that I have my hair tied back, and in a hairnet. I find that the Goody Ouchless Hair Elastics are super expensive, and break far too easily for the amount that you're paying. I'd rather go to the Dollar Store and buy the same product (different brand) for less money. They aren't entirely "Ouchless" as their name would imply. My hair is incredibly curly and it still gets tangled around the elastic. The only saving grace this product has going for it is the fact that it has no metal parts which are what usually break and cause a lot of "Ouch" - so they aren't really Ouch-free but they are less ouch than their metal-bearing counterparts.
Oh these are a staple wit me. i have long hair and keep it pulled up 90% of the time and I always use these because they do not pull my hair or get stuck. They have no metal and are great for little ones too. I also kee at least 1/2 a pack in my purse in case one of my friends needs and elastic and they sure love the too
A staple! These have always been my favourite hair elastics; no metal, no pull, and they last a really long time. I always have at least two of these around my wrist at all times, and with so many colours available I can always find some to blend in with my outfit. Never leave the house without some!
I have really long hair and these elastics save on breakage and split ends. They come in so amny different colours and sizes that you can't miss.
I have to put my hair up in elastics everyday to meet our company safe policy, I only use the Goody Ouchless, as they do not break my hair, they stay in place and come in wonderful colors to co-ordinate with clothes each day :) Literally can't go a day Monday to Friday without them :)
I can't think of a single negative thing to say about Goody's Ouchless hair ties. They truly are "ouchless" and come in many colours from neutrals to brights. The price is comparable to other elastics and you can occasionally find them on sale which is when I stock up.
Oh I did think of one negative thing. My daughter and her friends keep raiding my stash and I'm always cleaned out when I need one.
