soft [SEP] i wear headbands like this in the evening when washing my face and following my skincare routine these headbands are very soft i found these to be a little small but they do stretch enough to accommodate my large head i have just had other headbands that were a little larger and did not require being stretched to the max just to fit i like the variety of colors and have shared these with my eighteen year old daughter one thing that i do like is that the bow does not get off centered as easily as my old one my old one has to be adjusted every time i put it on this one seems to be just fine
