Elastic Hair Ties No Damage for Thick Heavy Hair, Black 8 Pack

These are worth every penny. I have fine hair and have been looking for hair ties I don’t have to readjust every five minutes because they are slipping out. I found some I like, but they stretch out and break way too easily. Based on other reviews, I decided to take the chance on these and I’m glad I did. They are different than traditional hair ties in that they are a thick, rolled material that stays in place!! I received these on August 23, and today is October 13. I’m still using the first tie I pulled out of the box! I wear it every day - anywhere from a couple of hours to all day - and it’s still in great shape. In the photo, the tie to the left is fresh out of the box. The one to the right is the single one I’ve worn everyday since I received them. Highly recommend and they are worth the price.

I don't write a lot of reviews and in a sea of 'paid' reviews on Amazon, it makes me giddy that this product actually is everything it says it is. If you're like me and you've stretched out and broken way too many hair ties in your life, this one HOLDS. I only have to twist it TWICE and it holds everything in place. More than I dreamed was actually possible. Perhaps for those with normal or thinner manes, the idea of twisting their hair tie twice and having everything kept neatly in place is a way of life. Never has been for me. Those little hairs that keep falling out are a thing of the past with this tie. My hair doesn't come out when I pull it off either...it really is perfect and worth it! All I can say is thank you! Such a simple solution and yet it took until now to help a thick-mane gal out? Goodbye Goody...you're not so good anymore.

These are the only ponytail holders that work on my daughter’s thick hair. She usually complains that her hair slips out. Not with these! They hold her hair up and last through entire soccer games without needing to be tightened.

I'm so stoked on these hair ties and so grateful I found them and took a chance on pricey ties! I have very straight hair, every few months I get my hair thinned out with a trim otherwise it's too heavy. I have to have my hair out and away from my face for work (healthcare). Over the years I've tried so many hair ties and nothing stays in place, they all slip down quickly, if they're grippy they break your hair (was called out by my hair stylist on that one!) Or as you've probably experienced, they hold maybe for a day and then become so stretched out they're worthless. All this to say, I've tried it all in my 20+yr search. Anyway, these hair ties are magic. If I could compare them to anything it would be as if it were a portion of a compression sock? They're wide but roll up on itself. Once you put it in place it does.not.move. I have to admit, there's a learning curve to a hair tie that doesn't budge and took me a day or two to get my hair looking good pulled back securely. I've used this purposefully for at least 2 weeks consistently to give an honest review on durability. So far there has been NO wearing out of the one hair tie I've used all this time. Not stretched out at all. There's only 3 included but these will LAST, I can tell. Also somehow there's no crease left in your hair after extended time in. Magic, I tell you! If you're struggling with thick hair and needing something to actually last and hold, I promise you these are worth it.

I've been on the hunt for the perfect hair ties that can handle my thick and unruly hair, and the Burlybands Large Hair Ties were a great discovery for me. **Reliable Hold for Thick Hair:** My hair is a force to be reckoned with, especially when wet. These ties have come through with a reliable hold, keeping my long thick hair in place without constantly slipping or feeling too loose. They provide good stability without making an indent on the hair. **No More 'Hair Mark' Woes:** One of the biggest surprises was how these hair ties managed to leave virtually no mark or dent in my hair after removal. I can finally say goodbye to those annoying hair creases that other hair ties tend to leave behind. **Everyday Magic and Overnight Hold:** While these hair ties didn't hold up during intense workouts or activities, they've been a rockstar for everyday use and even overnight. They're perfect for keeping my hair neat and controlled without any fuss. ** Only Downsides: ** There are a few downsides to these, one of which is that they do start to stretch out after extended use. But this is not a huge deal as this is what happens with most hair ties. In fact this one holds up better than most. The another small downside is that its not the best for me for extensive activity. The last is the pricing is higher than some of the cheaper products out there - however you get what you pay for... as in the cheaper options are useless for my hair. In summary, the Burlybands Large Hair Ties are an absolute 'purchase again' option. Their ability to handle my thick hair, even when wet, along with the absence of those dreaded hair marks, sets them apart from other hair ties I've tried. While they may not be the best for heavy-duty workouts, they excel in everyday situations and provide a comfortable overnight hold. If you're on the hunt for hair ties that truly deliver, these are the ones to try. They've earned a permanent spot in my hair care routine!

These things are marvelous. My hair is incredibly thick and long (it's roughly a meter, at this point) and trying to find hair ties to hold it up is absolute hell. I found some good ones in a store well over a decade ago and have been using those ever since, but now that I've lost the last of them I've been frantically trying to find something to replace them. I ordered a couple of different types of hair ties and these ones are by far the best. I waited a couple months before I wrote a review just to make sure that I really got a good sense of the product, and honestly I have nothing but great things to say. Unlike almost every other type of hair tie I've ever used, I actually only need to use one of these bad boys to control the utter insanity that is my hair. My mane is so long and heavy that I am physically incapable of putting it up into a ponytail (unless it's a super low one at the base of my skull), so really the only two ways that I can put it up are either to braid it or to put it up in a bun. For the former, I can use any old hair tie; but the latter is a task that requires a tie of freakish strength and stretchiness. Ladies and gents, this hair tie is it. Oh, and even after months of use it still hasn't lost any of its stretch (and I've only needed to use one of them so far---so for those of you who feel like you're getting ripped off because it only comes with three, I assure you that two of them will be extras). Yes, these are pricier, but they are totally worth it. Burlybands are awesome and I really wouldn't recommend anything else to anyone who has hair so long that it's gone metric.

They work for fine hair too - I have thin, slick/silky fine hair - but a very sensitive head -- it is very hard for me to wear my hair in a pony tail because most hair bands that are tight enough to 'grip' my hair and not slip out, will also PULL some individual strands or pull all of them, so I'm either feeling pain and annoyance from individual strands here and there, or a headache of the whole punch is pulled too tight. The other alternatives, hairbands with silicone strips or soft silicone 'teeth' don't slip but still pull. Thick or thin, very few hair bands can hold my hair without either slipping, or pulling. But this burlyband is amazing - it has has a fabric grippy surface - hard to explain - it's not tacky, but if I put in one pony tail and wrap it twice around - it's loose enough not to give me a headache - but does NOT pull my hair at all - and does not slip AT ALL - it holds my ponytail at a nice angle. Or, if I put in two pony tails and wrap a band three times around - it has a great strong grip without being tight. The final comment -which probably hardly anyone reading this will relate to since these are supposedly for people with masses of thick hair -- is that these thick burlybands actually appear to GIVE my thin, fine skimpy hair volume, because of the way they hold the pony tail and project it out from my head - which is great! Usually my ponytails just sag and hang down with regular bands. This band is all things to all people - whether you have the masses thick tresses or fine thin baby hair like me.

Very thick! If purchased, I suggest cutting them in half to make two hair bands- allowing them to not feel so tight!

The best for thick curly hair. No breakage

Good hair bands, large size and good for thick hair. My only issue is that the colours on the picture are a lot darker than in real life. Left is “light blue” and right is “dark blue”.

Super gut, halten die Form, hebt den ganzen tag ohne zu verutschen auch bei super dicken haaren!

I wondered why anyone else would pay this much for a hair tie but bought it based on reviews. It’s amaaaazing - would recommend it. The bands are thick, however a good size for the wrist.

I've tried many other hair bands over the years and they just can't hold my very thick hair - they usually stretch out and break. These are absolutely amazing at keeping my hair up in a polytail or bun - I've been using them for 10 months now, and still going strong! Well worth the money!
