Review title is Works great but made of poor material. [SEP] A few years back I had two of these and they were the best bun makers I ever had. I used them way too much and sometimes with wet hair and they both broke over time.  I am sure it was because of using them on wet hair.  I do not know what brand I had but they were not the same just similar.  These I have had for about a month and use it about 4 days a week for work. The material holding in the important parts is already starting to fall apart.  I will be purchasing a better brand next time. It does take patience to learn how to use this.  But once you get the hang of it, it shouldn't take but a minute to have a perfect bun. I have never tried other styles.
