Review (5/5): I wear them everyday
10 months ago, I cut off ALL my hair, (49 3/4 inches, so A LOT) to give to a coworker whose teenage daughter had cancer and needed hair to have a wig made. I had enough hair where she wouldn't need to even ask anyone else, so yeah, I chopped it all off. That girl cares more about the way she looks, then I do, at my age. But I remember being 14...and I cared at that age what I looked like. I cared a whole bunch. But now, not so much, and since locks of love and other charities don't give wigs to cancer patients because "their hair should grow back" (nonsense), her parents were looking for something affordable and found a place that would make a real hair wig, for about $1000, if they supplied the hair.
For the first few months after I cut it off, all was fine. I have never had short hair before and honestly it was nice. But as it grew out, it started to become annoying. I have a very prominent widows peak, so never had bangs, and it was getting long enough to get in my face which was super aggravating. Plus, having it on my neck...can't even describe how that cut the nerves....
I have never really wore headbands, so didn't have any, so started searching online for something to help keep my growing hair off my face. I read the reviews on this headband set, and many others. Focusing only on the negative reviews, because...thats what matters right? Why don't people like these? Only thing I saw on this set though was that people thought they were to tight.
I have an average size head, definitely not small, but don't think it overly large either...and since they were cotton, I saw this set as a win, win. They were the width I wanted, the neutral colors I wanted, and if they were a bit small, would be more likely to hold up the hair behind my head better. If they were TO small, they were cotton, so I could stretch them out. Plus, the price was definitely good for the number you get, compared to others I looked at.
So, I ordered them in June and have pretty much had them on my head everyday since. I didn't find them to small at all. Only problem I'm having is, I keep misplacing them! So, actually came on to order more, as I can only find two at the moment...but decided I would go ahead and write a review while I was here. It's still going to be a while before my hair is long enough to pull up in a ponytail, so until then, I am 100% reliant on these to keep my sanity, as my hair grows back in.
