Top these rubber bands! They do not cause pulling on the hair follicles, so not only do they not hurt, but there is no hair loss (rooting out) and breakage (hair loss, creating split ends, etc.). No matter where you hold them, they don't hurt. And even if you tighten them a little more, nothing happens. They hold the hair satisfactorily without having to tighten them too much. Additionally, when you remove it, you don't need to carefully direct your hair like with classic rubber bands. It comes off easily and lightly, without pulling and of course without any pain or pulling. It is the best rubber band on the market! Also, it does not ruin the shape of the hair like the others and does not tangle the hair. I also like them as bracelets.
