I haven't worn the pearl-covered ones [SEP] But I have worn all the rest!  I love how these look on my head and they do a great job of keeping my hair back from my face when I'm working around the house.  I mean, I've used scrunchies to pull my hair up on my head, but after a little while that hurts my scalp.  These are gentle on both my hair and my scalp and they do look good (at least to me) on my head!
