OLESILK 100% シルクシュシュ レディース シルクヘアシュシュ カーリーヘア用 シルクヘアタイ ゴムポニーテールホルダー 3ピース

I wanted to try silk hair ties because I have curly hair and I try to avoid anything that might cause breakage or pulling. The problem is that most silk hair ties I’ve seen are basically scrunchies, and I don’t really like that bulky look. I decided to try these Olesilk ones because they looked thinner and closer in size to a regular elastic hair tie. To my surprise, they are exactly what I hoped they'd be. They are slightly bigger than a typical elastic hair tie you’d find at a drugstore (see photo of it next to another hairtie brand), but the difference is pretty minimal. They still have that smooth silk exterior, but they don’t look oversized or bulky like a scrunchie. Another thing I’m really picky about is seams. I have sensitive skin on the inside of my wrist and some hair ties have a seam that can get irritating after a while. With these, I honestly can’t even find where the seam is. I’m sure it’s there somewhere, but it’s completely hidden and I don’t feel anything scratching or rubbing against my skin. They’re comfortable to wear on my wrist and tight enough to not fall off, but they’re not so tight that they leave marks or feel like they’re cutting off circulation. I did notice some reviews mentioning that the silk split open for them. I’ve had these for about a week so far and haven’t experienced that at all, but if anything changes I’ll update my review. So far though, I absolutely love them. They’re smooth, comfortable, gentle on my curly hair, and they look much more like a normal hair tie instead of a scrunchie. At this point they’ve actually become my favorite hair ties.

Update: The thick elastic eventually folds over on itself if you are an all day everyday wearer, and the shiny black silk eventually dulls and looks creasy- even if you rotate them. I still really like them, but I wanted to update so you know how they wear, and that they do sort of wear somewhat quickly. But, for the price, and for the sake of hygiene, I’m okay with it and replacing them once or twice a year, though I suspect they’ll hold out for more than a year even with 24/7 use. That’s my update! It’s June and I got these in March. I’ve bought really expensive silk scrunchies off Sephora before. They were okay. These ones are less than half the cost and BY FAR the NICEST hair ties I have ever gotten. I’ll update this in the future to comment how they held up. But to be honest, if they only last me 6 months I won’t complain because I’ve never had elastic so thick. It really doesn’t snag, and it holds really strong and feels really well made. And it’s comfortable on my wrist too.

I love these! They don’t stick to my hair and slide off without damaging my hair. They also stay put nicely.

Decided to try a new brand because the ones I’ve been buying for years that are satin were stretching out too much too soon. I’ve only had these a few days, but I’ve been using the same one every day. I have thick, heavy curly hair. I think they will serve me well as the elastic seems quite heavy. It’s a comfortable size to wear on my wrist. Gently, it contains my hair, two twists are tight but not uncomfortable. One twist for a regularly pony tail works for my hair. No stretching of the elastic yet.

Soft and holds well. Maybe a little tight
