Can't beat it with a stick
I'm impressed.  For the price, these are really great.  Actually, not even for the price -- they're just great, in general.  (But espECIALLY for the price)  They hold all of my thick, long hair up easily, and for a long time, and....yup....ZERO marks.  Gotta love that.  So far so good on their ability to keep their shape.  Haven't noticed any significant stretching yet.  I really like their size, too -- small enough too put around my wrist comfortably, but big enough to hold all of my hair without losing their shape.  Super happy with the purchase.
