"I have long, thick hair, and have used scrunchies or elastic bands to keep my hair off my face. Unfortunately after having my hair pulled back for a while, I would develop a headache. Headbands were no better, usually slipping almost immediately, and if they didn't, it wasn't long before I had a headache from those too. I also had issues with hair breakage or damage from using those items. THEN I found Tassi!!! OMG where has this product been all my life...lol. I am thrilled about how well it works to keep my hair out of my face, off my neck, and without damaging my hair. I will NOT be without this item, and have shared it with my best friend who also loves it. Its a MUST have, and I must have more of them! --Heather "
