So I ordered the hair bands and as I have read in other recessions, the color differs slightly from the picture - looks rather goes into a bit yellowish. Does not bother me personally, but because I had read about it in advance. I got the gum for about 2 weeks in use and until now they are still in perfect condition and retire after use also (after some time) back to the original size back. I am completely satisfied and can only recommend the product!
