invisibobble Power Traceless Spiral Hair Ties - 5 Pack - Crystal Clear - Strong Elastic Grip Coil Hair Accessories for Active Women - No Kink, Non Soaking - Gentle for Girls Teens and Thick Hair

These are the best hair ties I've ever used! For years, I've seen them, but I was sure they'd get stuck forever in my long, thick, very curly hair. Then, I read someone else's comment in a curly-hair site that said otherwise. I took the plunge, and she was right. These absolutely do not get stuck in my hair. They also do not pull my hair out. If I start to have problems removing them, I just stretch them out, and they give up any hold on any hairs. I love them! They're very good quality; I still have all five, months later. I haven't even used them all yet. They do stretch out, but I'll try putting one in hot water to see if that brings it back to its original stretch. Finally, I can tie my hair back without pain and hair loss.

I have thinner hair so I found the tie slips out when I am rowing if I only do one twist. I found doing two twists seems to solve the issue - noticed the tie is a bit tight on my head but still more comfortable than a traditional hair tie. These ties are not seamless though so I recommend being VERY careful when taking them off to avoid ripping out your hair. I find holding the ponytail at the base and untwisting the tie seems to work well.

Perfect ponytail holder. Strong hold and keeps it's shape for a long time. Hair never gets caught in it and it never pulls hair. Super comfortable with strong hold.

Trully works well. Great gift, perfect for a stocking stuffer during the Holidays.

Wish they made one for even thicker hair. Even after one use it is stretched out and I can no longer use it. Thankfully, if you put these in boiling hot water, they shrink back down to normal size and you can reuse them. I have to shrink them back down after every use.
