do not look for a grip from these bands offers added friction only [SEP] this does not keep a lace front from blowing away from your edges this is not a substitute for glue in the wind sis you will be embarrassed without something else to keep those edges downthese bands make it a little harder for the wig to slide backwards but the wig has to be tight in the first darn place it is really just added friction you will be disappointed if you buy this expecting a grip the velcro closure is cheaply made big and bulky but manageable i will use what i brought but am not sure about a repurchase i will update after i can gauge the durability of the bands
