Review title is Pulls hair badly. Much more than other brands. [SEP] These are very pretty but smaller in diameter than typical spiral hair ties. Which overall isn't a huge deal however it's actual diameter of the wire or whatever you call it that they are made of is smaller this means that it grabs and pulls hair when you try to take it out. I have some hotline brand hair ties in standard size and Mini and thin and none of them pull my hair like these do. They are also not as shiny as I had hoped. Using them on my daughter and the kids wear them as bracelets but I wouldn't buy again I've included a picture of these in comparison to the hotline hair ties.
