Review title is Works awesome! [SEP] Love these ponytail binders!  They are a bit thicker, softer and they have a medal connector but all sides are smooth.  Very easy to put in and very easy to remove.  I now have thinner hair and they stay put where I put them.  And it doesn't hurt just because I put my hair up for the day.  Will be buying again if I need to but at this time I will probably just wash them out and reuse until they break... if they break...
