More fun to play with than use in your hair
I will say that the gummy texture is fun to play with.  I find myself squeezing it between my fingers like a little mini stress-ball donut.<br /><br />As a hair tie, it just sucks.  It takes serious effort to get it "installed" and trying to get it out safely (without breaking a lot of hair) takes patience and time.  I have very fine hair and I feel like I lost a lot of strands to this thing.  Don't get me wrong - once it's in, it holds pretty well.  If I'd gotten several hundred of these things for the price, I'd just take a scissors to it when I was done with it and not worry about trying to take it out.  If there's a secret to getting this "super band" out of my hair with no damage, I haven't found it yet.<br /><br />Do your hair a favor and pass on these.
