why can i buy half decent, strong, ponytail bands

[lawnimp]

all the ones i buy these days break within a couple of uses. have tried more expensive denman ones too but they seem just as useless

I can tell you it ain't Asda!

The ONLY way forward is Goody bands from boots only in uk. They are non slip total grip non stretch stay put etc.
In fact I think they are called stay put?
Anyway.

My entire Netball team have been switched by me and there's not a stray hair after a gruelling hour long match!!!

I second the Goody ones - they last for ages and really grip

oh they look interesting will try them out!

Definitely the goody ones - they really do work. I have thick long hair and they keep a ponytail all day without having to redo it.

thanks ladies, have got these now and they are fab!

Thank you, thank you! Never knew I could get so excited about ponytail bands but these Goody bands are fantastic! I have thick hair and the bands haven't slipped at all.
