I absolutely love these head bands. I have thick curly hair and most head bands slide out or don't hold my hair. These do! I love them. Great for the beach after your hair has gotten wet or anytime you needs to get you hair out of your face quickly. The only thing I wish is they were a little more durable. The plastic used under the ribbon gets brittle quickly and then breaks. But because I love these so much I have probably bought about 30 of these over the last 3 or 4 years.
