Just ordered another one!
My father had purchased one of these for me about 15 years ago, when I got my first restaurant job.  It lasted many many years.  Throughout my military career and further.  I have always had long (waist length) and thick hair, and like someone had mentioned earlier, it is a lot easier to use if you put your hair in a ponytail beforehand.  I lost my original one about two years ago (used it on my daughters hair for her ballet recital, and I haven't seen it since, lol) and have been searching everywhere for a replacement.  I purchased a set (2) of the spongy ones, and OH NO, they are NOWHERE near as good as this product!  So glad I was able to find this here, as I am now in the medical field, and am required (again) to wear my hair up.  I will be purchasing 2 of them today.
