The only reason I'm rating this with 4 instead of 5 is cos I don't think I can use it as intended. I use it as a bracelet and it's great. I think this would hold up in a kid's hair, but I have thick hair which is also wavy ( I typically use 'extra strong' bobbles). In any case, this is one of the best accessories I own and it makes a cute jingly sound when I move because of the plastic beads and the flowers inside cinnamoroll's head.
