Gold Magic Elastic Braiding Bands, Clear

Hi, I absolutely love these, I keep going back to them over every other brand. They stretch really well you do get a lot for your money and they're pretty durable yes of course sometimes they break right away st of the time I have them in my hair for days. They are just tiny elastic bands they're not gonna be perfect but compared to many other brands that I've tried they're perfect to me.

We've had these elastics for 6 months and haven't had a single problem with them. I only use them on my 10 year old's hair when I braid it. Any other hair tie looks odd at the end of her braid. The elastic is very small and only good for a small chunk of hair. In fact, these are almost identical to the hair elastics I used on her when she was a toddler to age 4ish.We haven't had a single one break. They are only good for one use. After taking them out they are very stretched out and can't be put back in well. We have had an occasional time we had to cut them out, but usually the slip out very easily. These are definitely worth the few bucks if you want to have small elastics for braids or thin hair.

I bought these bands for a non-traditional application. I use them to mount very small strobe lights to the arms of my drones. I would have used velcro, but someone suggested using these for this purpose and I like the idea better. They work great for that purpose. They were smaller and thinner than I expected, but that's ok. I can't believe how much the stretch out to fit over things and then return to near their original shape. They do not have the same type of elasticity as rubber bands, but I don't think you could make a traditional rubber band this small and thin and have this type of elasticity and strength.I know they are made as hair ties, but I can't speak at all to that purpose.

4 Stars. . .thought about giving them a 3, due to stretching and breaking, but 4, because I can't find this size anywhere else. Beware, other sellers claim to have this size, but one I tried was much larger.I use them for my pigtails, my hair is a bit thin so these work perfect for me.Yes, they will stretch after a use but I can't find any anywhere that don't. . .I get multiple uses out of them, when stretched I double wrap them. After a handful of uses, they get too weak to use and tend to break.Once in a great while, one will break upon first use, but rarely. I carry spares in my pocket in case of a "blow out".So, since there don't seem to any better bands around, these work for me, and are cheap, at least.

Great price for a zillion of these handy hairties. There is a hairtie eater in our home (hopefully not one of the kids / dogs;)) along with the typical sock and bobby pin eater. As a result, I kept running out of these and my daughter's fluffy blonde 2 year old hair was always hanging in her eyes (will her bangs EVER GROW IN!?). Enter 4 packs of these to save the day. I keep a bag in our bedroom, her bedroom and both bathrooms. There was even enough to split bags up and stash some in the diaper bag, changing table and car so we are never without them. They rarely break (unlike more expensive brands, ie - scunci) and are a very nice elasticity. Plus, they hardly tug at her fine toddler hair (although sometimes a few strands come along for the ride when she rips them out herself). They're the perfect size to 'wear' around my pinky, like I wear adult hairties on my wrist) when we're out and about.Highly recommended!

The rubber bands had great stretch, but ended up snapping quite often.

I bought these for a intricate hairstyle for prom, and was a little worried that they would be brittle like some of the ones you can buy in the store, but they are actually really stretchy! The only time that one of them broke was when I had already used it once, for prom, and then (purely out of curiosity) tried to use it again. They are definitely designed for one time use, which is what I expected -- but great product, and cheap! I still probably haven't used a third of them yet, and for only 5 bucks!I have very thick hair as well for those concerned about hair type. Sometimes I even use them for all my hair when I just do one big simple braid, and they hold great, almost better than normal hair elastics.

They are very stretchy and durable
