Reddit reviews Lady Flexible Plastic Coil Phone Wire Hair Tie Rope Hairband Clear Gray 4 Pcs

I wear these that my hair stylist recommended: coil hair tie

She recommended them because the coil can hold your hair in a pony tail but unlike rubber band hair ties, it doesn’t pull your hair back (so it doesn’t trigger a migraine and bonus doesn’t rip your hair out/thin your hair line either).

I've got really soft hair too, and coil hair ties like this are awesome! I don't need to wrap them as tight, and they don't pull out my hair.

These are the ones I got from F21:

I think the ones I got from Target are Goodie brand. They are thicker and more tightly coiled like these (but cheaper and included black and brown):

I wear the F21 ones on my wrist every day and they haven't stretched out over 6 months plus. They were under $5 for a bunch so my best advice is to find some like that. If you have really thin, slick hair, I can see these having to be coiled around hair more times to stay (possibly stretching them out), but I bet hair spray or dry shampoo on them would help the hold. They hold better in my hair than the traditional black stretchy ones and are more durable (but I haven't straightened my hair in over a year ago I can't say how well they'd do on straight or straightened hair).
