I would not give up the Invisibobble until now I did not have conventional hair tie that has kept so well. Nothing slips and it is necessary all day not tighten the braid. The usual knick in the hair there is no longer (straight or slightly wavy hair) make and out is also no problem, nothing tangled or traveling. When times a little device out of shape (I've read in another Rezesion) simply Pour boiling water over and everything is back as in the beginning. Can only recommend it. All other hair bands were disposed of.
