I remember these from when I was much younger and missed how well they held up my hair. I decided to try these specific ones and I was pleasantly surprised. They are slightly cheaper quality than what I remember from way back when but not so cheap that they break or come apart. I am able to wear them all day without issue. They hold my hair in place and don’t slide or slip open. It shrinks back to size once I take it off. Although if I remember correctly, these types of hair bands all eventually lose their shape and strength no matter what so I expect these to do the same. I have 3b/c curly hair a couple of inches past my shoulders, and these worked great.
