I was so excited when I saw these out with the sock and in with the real thing. I got a dark coloured one and a light coloured one, it's good there's a choice (multi coloured hair for me) so if a bit of hair misses it, it's quite hard to see what's in my hair as it just blends in. Bonus as the sock I was using was grey with orange dots so had to be so careful to cover every bit of it.
Any way out of the plastic bag this looks like a doughnut, a squishy springy thing, if it was rolled open it would have a fine chicken wire appearance made of a plastic type stuff.
So in with the ponytail this on my hair and I roll it down pushing my hair through it winding its way down, I then carefully push it over my hair tie, so the perfect bun, I toss in four bobby pins and this bun stays the day neat and tidy no moving. When I remove it, it comes out relatively easy, a few hairs trapped in it nothing to worry about.
Next bun no hair tie I just push my hair through this more bobby pins, I made a messy bun(that's more me) this stayed the day. I have given this a bit of grief as I've stuck the pins in it and no damage.
This is easy to use, holds hair up value for sure.
I quite like the idea of this and i like that they have a range of colours. I have Blonde hair so i got the light one and its quite a lot bigger than i thought it would be. I have quite long thick hair so i knew this would look huge once i got it sorted. It was really easy to use and has a little guide with it. My hair was in the tidiest bun using this so i need to use it more, it stayed put all day and the colour was pretty close. I found that using it with my hair dry and straight was the easiest way.
Tips: 4 pins wasn't enough but i have an abundance of them so that was ok.
