Black Elastic Hair Ties - Snag-Free, Seamless, No-Damage Hair Rubber Bands, 4mm, 8 Count

The only hair management that reliably holds my VERY straight hair in place, and each one lasts for weeks of daily use.

They don't snag, don't pull, and don't catch on my hair. They also don't fall off even if I sleep with them on, though they will slide down my hair in that case.While they probably aren't as durable as a full-on, thick-elastic-corded, felt-covered hair-binder, they definitely last a long time.Somewhat regrettably, they do tend to stretch-out due to a need to twist-then-rewrap, but I've never had a single one snap on me -- they stretch out and maintain their strength even once they're WELL-beyond three-times their original length.Assuming I ever need to get additional ones, I definitely will. If someone hadn't thrown out some of the ones from my original package because they were stretched-out (and to them, apparently looked no-longer-useful --__-- ) then I would still have all the ones from my first pack. As it is, I still have 7 of them, 2 unused, so I'm good for quite a while.

I saw these elastics in an article and thought I would give them a try. The elastics don't snag your hair. Highly recommend. I was tired of the other elastics. Very happy with this product. Clean and polished look at the end.I have long thick hair and used for half up-dos and braids.

Ok, so how different can it be? They aren't snag-free but as good as it gets with a hold for my Asian hair. While Scunci No Damage & Kai bands are about the same as far as snagging, BLAX has a way tighter hold, especially for those who do NOT have as much hair. NOTE: BLAX 4mm and 2mm bands are 1.625 inches in diameter (1.5 inch plus 1/8th).PROs:*About as snag-free as it gets for a band (snags less than Kai bands, maybe a little bit better than/equal to Scunci No Damage/Goody)*Best tight hold. Hands-down tighter than Scunci, Goody & Kai.*Best hold for people with less/thinner hair. Band diameter is ~1.5 inches, significantly smaller than Scunci No Damage, Goody & Kai bands.*Band stretches out less after use than other brands (Scunci, Goody & Kai). Mine stretch out ~20%.CONs:*Can be a little more difficult to tighten your ponytail by pulling strands of your hair given the tightness of the band.*While the hold does NOT loosen at all during the day, the band does slide down a bit (~1/4 inch after a few hours if you don't tighten your hair).*Have to order online.I ordered mine from Best Buy Beauty in NoHo/LA, CA. My order shipped within 24hrs and I received it in a few days.

I used to buy this style elastic from a major cosmetic chain, and while these are never as durable as regular old style hair elastics, they were much better than these Blax brand ones (and they cost less).These stretch out and break very quickly (maybe 2-3 uses) and they're ridiculously expensive for what they are. NO way these cost more than 5 cents a pack to manufacture. A total rip-off.

I was skeptical but these little hair bands are the real deal. My long hair (hey! I'm a die hard hippie! ☺) was beginning to thin exactly where I have been putting it up into a pony-tail when I ride my Harley; I can't ride with my hair down or the very fine hair I have knots up really bad. I almost have to cut the tangles out! My hairdresser told me the "non-damaging" cloth covered ties I had been using were evidently snagging as I removed them, which was common. She gave me a few rubber-band type ties to try, they were even worse so I hit the Net looking for reviews and found these. They hold your hair in place 10-times better and when removing them they just glide off like you have oiled them! It's almost inconceivable that they could have both properties, tight hold and ease of removal, but take my word they do. Two-thumbs up! ↑↑

Got these for my 2-year-old who has thick, fine curly hair. It is true that they don't snag in her hair. The problem is that they're only a little bit elastic, so to get them to stay on properly, I have to wrap it around until it's on pretty tight. Then when I remove it, there's no elasticity available to stretch it out and easily pull her poofy pony tail through. So I have to slowly inch it off (except it's more on the order of centimeters), while holding tightly to the base so I don't yank her head. And yes, it doesn't get snagged in that process, but it's time consuming and no easy feat on a squirmy 2 year-old. This is probably not an issue for people whose hair is straight/wavy and maybe even for looser curls, but hers are really tight and result in quite a poof. And I'm sure people who are older could manage the removal, but it still seems like it would be annoying

I was hoping to find an item that I did not think would damage my hair -- many a person has urged me not to use rubber bands because of potential damage to my hair. These Blax bands are essentially like a rubber band, and if your hair is not very thick, then you will find them useless. My hair is not thick enough to fill the Blax band (it slides off), and since these are not very stretchy I could not loop it around my hair a second time.For some people I'm sure these will work, but not I. However, they do work well when an extra-resilient rubber band is called for, so I ultimately did find a use for them.
