These were an impulse Ulta purchase and have worked perfectly for me! My hair type is exactly what these are made for. They really don’t leave creases in my hair after having it up all day, and I have never found a hair band that doesn’t crease my hair. The hold is great for a ponytail, but not the best for getting a tight secure bun. I usually do a loose messy bun anyways, but thought I should mention. These do stretch out eventually but I still use them well past their prime by wrapping it extra. Oh, and these don’t cause a headache. I definitely recommend trying them!
