Features and benefits
Original rezinochki who conquered the whole world, are made from a special plastic with an admixture of silicone. Because of the unusual shape, many girls treat them ambiguously. However, having tried the accessory for the first time in practice, most recognize that the spring is much better than any rubber bands we are used to.

What is the name of?
The original silicone gum called Invisibobble is a registered trademark that invented this popular hair accessory. However, such rezinochki are expensive, so there are a lot of analogues on the market.
Most are classified as no name, so they call them all differently: telephone wire, coil, spring. Whatever you call it, it will always be a silicone twisted rubber band.
Fashion models
Rubber bracelet
One of the features of this hair accessory is the ability to use a rubber band as a bracelet. This option is more suitable for young girls, but for older girls it looks undignified.
It is worth noting that wearing a spring on the wrist is very convenient - if you decide to dissolve the curls, you can simply put it on your hand and the accessory will always be in front of your eyes, in case of need. Since the gum looks very stylish, it can easily play the role of a bracelet.
True, it all depends on your style in clothes. A business image is definitely not there, but it is quite suitable for a bow in a street or casual style.
Transparent
Clear gum is probably the most popular. This is not surprising, because invisible translates from English as “invisible”. The transparent elastic band is universal - it will fit any clothes and will not be noticeable on the hair of any color.
Multicolored
In the assortment of any brand that produces springs, there are rubber bands of almost any color. This allows you to choose a spiral exactly to your hair color.
In other matters, some deliberately want to highlight its presence on the hair with a bright color, so choose blue, pink, red, green spirals. The range of colors is also diverse, so you can buy a dozen gum for all occasions.
Dimensions
Since each manufacturer can create rubber bands of different diameters, we will consider the sizes presented in the assortment of the original brand.
Standard
The size of a standard (classical) elastic band is 3 cm outside and 1.6 cm in internal diameter. It is suitable for any hair of medium thickness, which excludes only very thin or very thick.
It can be used by girls with straight and curly hair, making ponytails, pigtails and other hairstyles.
Large
This model is called Power, as it becomes clear from the name, it can cope even with very thick and long hair. Gum is larger in diameter, and, accordingly, has more curls. The remaining characteristics remain unchanged.
Little ones
The model is called Nano, it is a small diameter rezinochka, which consists of only seven curls. It was created specifically for fixing small strands, so it can be used to create several tails or complex hairstyles. Often these rezinochki buy kids, whose hair volume is still small.
Brands
Visibobble
This is the brand that started the boom on elastic bands. They came up with their stylist from Munich - Sophie Trelales-Tweedy. She had the idea to use the old telephone cord as a hair tie. So she wanted to get rid of the usual gum, which injured her naughty hair and caused a headache.
To create unusual accessories use soft and flexible eco-friendly silicone-based resin. It is difficult to find places of adhesions on Invisibobble elastic bands, which cannot be said about fakes. They are soft, comfortable and stylish, so they have gained immense popularity around the world.

Reviews
Most reviews of the springs are positive. Many girls compare Invisibobble with similar rubber bands from other brands and note that the original still has its advantages.
Unnamed gum of a larger size, often they have a carelessly soldered joint, which is why it can still pull the hair, and in itself it will not last long - such models break much faster.
Due to the fact that other manufacturers often make a flat curl, it is much worse immersed in the hair. Due to the fact that it is made of ordinary plastic, it is stiffer and stretches faster. Gum is felt on the head and it hurts to sleep with it.
However, this does not mean that you cannot find a good quality budget gum, just try to look for a model that will be as close as possible to the Invisibobble.
With regard to rezinochek quality brands, the girls say that after using them, the hair really remains smooth, they are easily removed, not tangled in the strands, and when the hair is collected in the tail, no headache. Definitely, the spirals win over ordinary rubber bands.
