Works well for keeping hair up or out of face... [SEP] I got these to hold my hair back so I can straighten or curl my hair in layers. I also use it daily to keep my hair out of my face when I'm washing my face or brushing my teeth :) It works fine. The grip is pretty good, but sometimes it slips. They don't feel super sturdy, but they haven't broken on me yet. I like them enough that I would buy them again if they did break or lose some of their grip.
