very nice spiral ties but a tad on the expensive side [SEP] i have pretty long hair and most people with long hair know the issue with split ends last year when i was at the hair dresser i mentioned that and the hair dresser stated that the best scrunchie are these little spiral hair ties that are popping up recently they supposedly do not cause split ends and hair breakage i figured why not give them a shotthese hair ties will not get soaked if you go for a swim obviously which is great i did notice however that when you just pull it out of your hair you will end up pulling out some hair i suggest you pull it out gently preferably by either untangling it once first or by holding your pony tail at the base firmly and then pulling it outthese spirals are fairly large and i like these a lot they are a gorgeous minty green after using them for a while they can stretch out a bit but fear not you can just put them in warm hot water and they shrink right back to what they used to be and your have your spiral hair tie back or if you just do not use them for a bit they will shrink back on their own in this pack you only get for so these are bit more on the expensive side to some others i have seen and gotten to date so not sure if that is worth it but these are nice and sturdy and made well
