Arguably the best hair ties along with Madammoselle.
My daughter has long, medium-thick hair and it's been difficult to find elastic bands that will keep her ponytail up all day. We usually use two elastic bands to handle this task but the elastic bands eventually stretch out and limp ponytails are my pet peeve! They just look so sloppy and give a "lack of effort" look. We either buy Scunci no slip hair ties if we happended to shop at Watsons, or Madammoselle's high strength nylon hair ties if we are at Caring Pharmacy.
The only drawback-Thickness
During this isolation, I couldn't get a haircut so I let my hair grow into a ponytail. At 65, I look like an old hippy. These are definitely high quality. They are smooth and strong and they would be difficult to break. They hold my hair without pulling. The slight drawback is that due to their thickness, you can feel them against a pillow. I would buy them again.
Love the colors!
These cool colors are the best! I always have one in my pocket or purse, in case I want to throw my hair up! People give me so many compliments & wanna know where to buy them!
A great product!
These are my go to hair ties and I really like that they don’t get caught in my hair and they don’t damage my hair. I wish that they were a bit more durable however. They come in a variety of colours as well as sizes which is also nice. Overall, reliable products at an affordable price.
I had never seen ponytail holders like this, so I decided to give them a try. They are one-piece, metal-free elastic hair ties made from a 'no-slip' material. It's a silicone/plastic-like material, like that which is often used to line elastic head bands these days, except with a more satiny finish.
Functionality
I like them. I they won't replace all of my hair ties, but they definitely serve a purpose in my hair accessory arsenal. Their purpose is this: to hold a comfortable, looser ponytail that I don't have to constantly tighten. They hold my hair pretty well, considering it is long, and heavy, and when my ponytail swings around, it tends to come loose with other ponytailers. I think they would work really well for girls with thinner, finer, and/or shorter hair.
I don't think I'll use them for sports or whenever I need a really tight ponytail. This is because I think it would be a pain to take out if you got it in there too tightly. And also, because I broke the first one I tried to triple-wrap right away.
Appearance
They look similar to classic fabric-covered hair ties. They come in an assortment of colours, except browns that would blend into brunette hair.
Removal
I can't take them out as mindlessly or easily as I do regular fabric-coated elastic hair ties, because of the no-slip material. If you just tug on it, expect to rip out a few hairs with it. I unwind it, backwards of how I put it in, to avoid causing damage or pain.
Final Verdict
Since buying these, I always have one in my pocket or purse, in case I want to throw my hair up into a loose, low-maintenance ponytail. Because they hold my hair better while wrapped looser, I think they'll cause less damage than wrapping a slippery fabric hair tie tightly. And that's always a good thing.
