these are nice for keeping hair back and look good doing it [SEP] i like having longer hair but unless i braid it every time i want to do some work or pin it up it gets in my way i mean if i am trying to move a chair from one room to another and when i lean down to grab the chair i also get a handful of my own hair which also covers my face blocking my sight like my hair hate that it gets in my way i have a few different things scrunchies is one but sometimes i do not want to wear themso i got these headbands for an alternative and they work great they keep my hair back just enough so i can work without it getting in my way these twist headbands also look pretty while holding my hair back worth a try if you also have hair that sometimes gets in the way
