great for preventing hair breakage
My hair is long, so I bought these to prevent hair breakage, especially at night.  I can wrap one three times around my medium thick, straight, smooth, hair.  They stay in well enough to hold a braid through the night or a low ponytail during the day.  If you need your hairband to keep your ponytail/braid rigidly secure all day, this isn't the option for you.  These slip out fairly easily with a gentle tug...which in my opinion, is the whole point.  If you want  gentle PLUS secure, I'd recommend you explore GIMME brand.
