I have curly hair I used to tie those thin bands and when I remove them they just cause me so much of pain and there will be 3-4 strands of hair in it which is heartbreaking 😪 This scrunchie is thick and the material is italian satin . My curly hair loves satin❤️This is my favorite ❤️and I use it everyday for my pony tail Pros ✅no hair breakage ✅It doesn’t pull my hair when I remove my pony tail ✅can be used for pony tail and half up half down hairstyle ✅can be used for pineapple also Cons Apparently none🙈 Planning to buy 2 more
