I have purchased these headbands with intent to use them in my Power yoga classes. I have bangs so putting them away from my face during pracice is important (to avoid pimples). Colors are beuatiful and vibrant and hold long after being washed. However, bands do not stay and wet hair causes them to slip. I still like them but they are not what I need formy yoga practice. If you practice ashtanga, power vinyasa yoga or Bikram where lots of sweating is involved, you may want to choose another brand. Otherwise, it is a wonderful product for everyday use. Very comfortable, made of beautiful, soft cotton.
