Such genuinely good people.

Yes, but the satin versions are gentler still, but they also hang on tight. A good upgrade from the 80s version.

For years, I've used the thick bands (ex. Goody Extra Thick Ouchless Elastics, but there are others) and those do hold up well, but over the holidays, my daughter turned me onto "satin scrunchies." While the jury is still out, they seem pretty awesome (they look like this: https://images.urbndata.com/is/image/Anthropologie/46288486_014_b). Her hairdresser recommended that she try them. (She has a LOT of very full, thick, curly hair; I have what has always been very fine, straight, and now thinning hair, and they work great for both of us.)

Read it. It is a cool book.
