My initial impressions were an easy 5 stars. Loved the look and the comfort of the bands. They were a little tight at first but I was ok with that because I assumed they would stretch. They did, in fact, stretch out, but way too much. It was probably within 2 weeks of wearing the bands before they become too loose and really annoying on my wrist. The clear stitching that holds the braids together started breaking too soon as well. Customer service was great. I reached out to them to see what I could do to shrink the bands back to size and they quickly offered me a replacement. But the replacement band was the same story. I will not be a repeat customer.
