no grippy strips or teeth [SEP] these basically look like i expected them to they do stay in place a little bit but they do not hold the hair very well and since i have curly hair and they do not stay in place my hair kind of slipped back and forth and i ended up with frizzies in front which is kind of not the point of wearing a headband these are cheap enough that the few colors that i had planned on wearing were still worth purchasing even though there was a couple of colors that i will never wear
