These are great for adults, too! Extremely stretchy, almost like a material between nylons and tights, and they're my favorite now because I have to wear headbands for frizz control when I don't straighten my hair but I get headaches very easily from headbands even if they're not too tight. These are the perfect combination. And at this price, Im stocking up on more because they're really easy to decorate (Ive only added bows & flowers handmade from ribbon so far) and make great gifts for babies and little girls!
