I bought these hoping they would work but expecting to throw them out because I saw all the reviews about them breaking - but it is so hard to find stretchy thin clear elastics that work so I decided to give them a try. I've now been using these almost daily on my daughter's hair for three months now and I love them! The cheaper colored elastics I was using often broke during the day or if they got wet but these last all day long! They don't break and they blend in much nicer. These elastics are pretty stretchy - they aren't stiff like other brands I've tried. They are also a little easier to get out of her hair than others I've used, but I still recommend cutting them out (we use a comb with a special notch/tip for cutting elastics) to avoid pulling out or damaging any hair. These elastics are great for the ends of braids and we use them for everything - even pigtails/ponytails (my daughter has thin hair). I will buy more of these when we run out of them - they are now my preferred elastics that I reach for first. For our use (2-4 at a time, a few times a week) one pack lasts a long time so it really is a great value.*updated*Just came back to leave a note that I've reordered these again, this time 2 packs. I'll stick with these as long as they are available because they are definitely better than what I've found at our local drugstores.
