Doesn’t tug on hair and holds even thick hair ! You can also unstretch them in hot water so their hold is stronger after using 

Easy and doesn't damage the hair. I like it because it's simple.

I bought these just to reach the amount to get free shipping. I had dupes that I thought were the same thing but really they were not. They are so delicate on the hair yet really strong. I'll surely purchase more. The original ones are far better than any dupe.

They do their job perfectly and so far hold my up-dos without slipping noticeably for the length of my work shifts and beyond. They don't leave any marks on my hair afterwards, which to me is a miracle since my hair takes the shape of anything that touches it, and they don't snag. The only thing I don't like is that they do get a little tangled and pull when I remove them from messy up-dos.
