easy to use [SEP] pre pandemic my hubby would go get his hair trimmed before it got too long during lockdown and beyond he didn t want to risk getting sick for a hair cut since i m high risk so he decided so long as he s working at home he was just going to let it grow to enjoy longer hair while he could as it got longer he started asking me how i people with longer hair tie their hair back without getting a headache i told him we don t then got offered this for review so i snatched it upit helps a lot because it s not a solid band so you can sort of tighten it and or take it off without yanking half of your hair with it takes a little tweaking and getting used to not sure how it would hold up to more complicated styles but for just holding your hair back in a pony tail it s pretty decent
