I really like these.  The elasticity lasts awhile and it's a very flattering look with my long dreadlocks.  It's very nice to have things to keep the hair out of my eyes and out of my way when cooking, or doing things, but still be able to let my hair hang loose.  Pony-tails can cause headaches, as can tight buns and such, but this is nice.  And with so many colors, the 6 pack is worth the price!
