I’ve used the thicker gimme beauty hair ties and really like them! They pull your hair back in a looser way (but not too loose) that allows you to style things differently and cuts down on breakage

My dad just got some of these for my daughters and I’m actually surprised at the quality. The little hair ties are skinny but they actually hold up really well on my kids and my hair. We’re all mixed so it was a surprise. I would recommend these for all hair types.

Because of my super thick hair, only the super thick Gimme elastic bands can handle my hair in a pony and they don’t lose elasticity or break as they aren’t glued together or have a metallic closure.
