Scunci Black Gel Elastics, No Slip Grip, Strong Hold-Ponytailers, 14 Count (Pack of 1)

The Good: My hair is simultaneously super thick but also shiny/slippery (Asian hair that I don't use any heat appliances on and condition regularly). These hair ties somehow manage to grip my hair so that they stay on, but also don't pull my hair or hurt to take out (MAGIC). They are kind of rubbery feeling but also kind of satin-y to the touch. Before I found these hair ties I would have to re-tie my hair constantly, but now my ponytail can last all day if I want it to (including through physical activity). I see that some of the other reviewers say this tore their hair out, this has never happened to me! In fact, I think these might take out *less* hair than "normal" hair ties because these hair ties don't ever get tangled in my hair. Granted, I have very glossy hair (I don't even have to unwind them from my hair like some others said, I literally just pull to take them out). Some negatives: I like to keep my hair ties on my wrist, and these are just ever so slightly too tight to do that comfortably. They don't stretch out as quickly as other hair ties (although I take this to be a plus) so if you want to loosen them up enough to wear on your wrist comfortably it takes quite a bit of patience (this is what I do). As mentioned by other reviewers, the scunci name is engraved on them, and I have had these hair ties break on me. I also received one once (keep in mind I have purchased a lot of these, I lose hair ties constantly even though I try hard to hold on to these) that looked like there was an air "bubble" in the material, and after a handful of uses the hair tie snapped in that place. However, I don't think these hair ties break any more frequently than a comparable standard hair tie. With my thick hair I'm used to carrying around backup hair ties all the time for when they inevitably break, these I think break less often because I don't need to wind them as tightly since they grip so well. Even with some downsides, my opinion of a 5-star rating still remains because these hair ties basically changed my life. I wasn't paid to write this review or anything I just really love these hair ties.

These are stretchy plastic hair ties. I love the stretch and sturdiness of these. A 3 pack for the price of one is unbeatable! So happy I found this and will buy again if I run out. They can eventually pop, but it takes a lot before they do. I have locs and a lot of hair and one pack lasts me a long time.

I have a LOT of hair so ponytails can be a challenge. I’m a chef so my hair is up 80+% of my life and the quality of ponytail holder makes all the difference for me. I accidentally discovered this ponytail holder and I’ll never use another. Two turns and it holds my hair securely for an entire shift. I’ve never got more than an hour out of any other band before I have to pull my hair up again so 10+ hours is a miracle. With other regular elastic bands, my scalp is extremely sore at the end of the night in the spot just under my ponytail. That’s not the case with these bands, I think because they hold my hair so securely that my hair isn’t under strain at the scalp. These also don’t stretch out much, if any, as you wear them. They will eventually snap without warning (they don’t slowly stretch out at the seam like ones I’ve used in the past) so I always have a backup. They last a really long time, though, so this pack will go a long way. I think I used the last band on my old pack for over six months before it finally snapped. I can’t say that’s normal but I definitely go several years between purchases. I haven’t had any problems with these new ones snapping quickly like others have mentioned in reviews. Important note: this the only brand of plastic/rubber/silicon bands I’ve tried that don’t rip my hair out when I take them out. And I just pull them straight out of my hair, no unwinding. Again, I have super thick hair but it’s a medium texture and pretty shiny (without product). I think they could be a problem for those with dry or damaged hair as I’ve read several negative reviews which complain about pulling hair out. Definitely stay away from the Goody brand unless your goal is to slowly thin out your hair. (I know this is a lot of detail about a stupid ponytail holder but when you have as much hair as I have and you have to wear it up as much as I do, this is a significant life product. These bands are a game changer.)

Love these and that they don’t lose shape after a few wears. Also love the hold they give

i have thick heavy hair, and always need to re-do my ponytail. these work so well!!! wish they were a little bigger so i can put them around my wrist when i'm not using it. never going back to other ones.

keeps my ponytails in place and i rarely have to readjust throughout the day. they’re not too uncomfortable but they can tug. when that happens i just loosen it up a bit and that does the job.

3 pack of silicone hair ties. Used to buy these in store but haven't been able to find any anywhere, so grateful they are here in Amazon! I use them with other hair ties for my super thick, super heavy hair. But these in particular are so helpful to prevent slipping!

Very nice and strong, they work well

This just works; doesn't stretch out, holds its own on runs and best of all its soft to touch. A new one out of the pack does pull the hair a little but putting some oil on it fixes that right away. Worth the buy.
