BIODEGRADABLE Elastic Hair for Women & Men - Organic - 5mm (27 count)

ممتاز لا يسقط الشعر ولا يتمزق كغيره

Very durable. Not super soft or super stretchy, but honestly really good considering they are biodegradable. The softness/stretch is not at all inhibitive to the function. I've been using them fairly agressively for the last year, and I've only managed to break one that I used exclusively for about three months straight.

I have waist length very thick hair and this is the only elastic that I’ve tried that is strong enough to keep my ponytail from sagging down. The elastic will stretch over time, but they have never snapped on me after months of using the same one. I bought this a year ago and I’ve only used about 5 of them so far. When I used to buy drugstore brand elastics they’d last a week or less before snapping or stretching to the point that I couldn’t use them any longer. I like these elastics so much that I bought a second package for my long-haired friend.

I wanted try Terra Ties because they are biodegradable and I DO see them on the ground all the time. But now that I’ve tried them, I like them for other reasons, too. First of all they are SO soft. They just feel nicer than other hair ties I’ve used. They stay in my hair better too, even when I exercise — and my hair is pretty thick. But even though they hold better on my hair, they didn’t break my hair (yay!) or make my scalp hurt from pulling too hard. And when I put them on my wrist they’re not too tight. They seem pretty strong too. I’ve had other hair ties break, but these didn’t break OR stretch out when I pulled on them (just to see, haha). So happy with these!

I love that these are biodegradable and organic -- which explains the price. However, I wish they were more durable. I have fine hair so I have to wrap each of these ties around my ponytail three times to hold everything in place, and after a week or so of daily use, they stretch out. None have broken yet, as I switch out to the next one whenever one stretches; however, I expect that if I were to continue using them *after* they have begun to stretch out, they are not too far from snapping entirely. Now, this does not matter too much in terms of waste, as they are not plastic-based and will break down over time (even if that does take many, many years), but in terms of my *pockets*, this means I will be forking out for more hair ties probably sooner than I would otherwise. These aren't exactly cheap, so that doesn't appeal to me much; however, it's a sacrifice I am willing to make to be eco-friendly!

These are by far the best hair ties ever for thick hair. I have really thick, straight long hair and conventional hair ties and scrunchies just do not hold my hair in place. These ties are slightly thicker and bigger than normal hair ties and they hold my hair in place SO well! My ponytail never moves after I secure it with these. They're also incredibly durable, I haven't had one break on me or get too stretched out. In fact, I've been using the same one for probably months now and it shows no signs of wear or too much stretch so it seems like a pack of these will last me close to a lifetime!
