Long sought, finally found - in the summer I do my daughter usually Cornrows (close to the head braids, it GoogleT easy times) being so long hair has us takes a dip during the holidays so often that combing 2 - 3 times a day becomes a burden. I have made their> 50 braids with pink Mähnengummis. Although not quite come to the original rubber from the Rasta Shop ran (because they are something big), but are insgesatmt super. The durability depends on the usage - approx 3 are torn me in the braiding. Others will after a few days "cracked" and bright and then tear (perhaps I have just a little too tightly around the wound Zopfenden). But that may be due to the many water and the sun. It is also dear to me, as a silicone rubber is sometimes broken as the hair through the use of rubber bands
