Invisibobble has wrecked my hair!!

I thought they were meant to be hair friendly but after using them for the past few weeks I'm shocked at how snapped my hair is!!
It's all different lengths and looks shocking!

So annoying.

Is it just me?

I tried one as it supposedly doesn't leave a mark and like the PP, it definitely left a mark on mine. I find them harder to get out my hair too. Not impressed

Hasn't wrecked my hair but they do not give a good tight ponytail and are definitely fiddly to remove. I can see that it could snap your hair with repeated use. I won't be buying again.

Do bobbles leave a mark? Been wearing hair bobbles all my life, never noticed this. Those little clear plastic things look like they’d be bad news for your hair though.

I tried them and they did the same to my hair - I had breakages when I tried to take them out, and they stretched so I could only use them a couple of times.

I ditched them and went back to fabric covered pony tail bands and scrunchies.

I really like them, but they certainly leave a dent in my hair. I haven't noticed any breakage or issues getting them out of my hair, and I have used them for a few years.

I really like them for making buns, and especially when going swimming as they stay right where I want them to be until I take them out.

If they have stretched, you can put them in hot water to make them shrink. My experience is that they never shrink back to their original size, but they still work perfectly fine for me.
