i|m active: There are hair things and there are hair things… and there are hair things in great packaging… foil ziplocs! AND great labeling as well as an ActiveHold Technology TOUCH window! And seriously, how can you resist that. Well beyond the great packaging… this line of active hair accessories actually has a whole new kind of grip on the outside! It weaves two types of rubber strands on the surface of the bands for extra grip, as well as having no metal clasp (the connector actually looks a lot like heatshrink). I picked up the elastics, as well as the head wraps which look like giant elastics (instead of their other wide flat headbands) - in addition to their extra tension claw clip/elastic hybrid (more images below!). And i’m impressed, my buns and ponytails aren’t going anywhere as much as i shake my head… nor are my bangs that tend to escape! What else is in the line? Barrettes and award winning shoelaces! all with the same grippy technology.
Now for the unexpected part - i|m active is by the makers of Industrie which produces high end salon tools… which are a business unit of Newell Rubbermaid. Yes, THAT rubbermaid… of tupperware, etc.
I LOVE THIS CLIP!! I bought mine on clearance at the place my boyfriend gets his hair cut and fell in love. I move alot and see people all day at work and with all my talking,moving,and headbobbing I never have to redo my hair. I talked about these my clip so much my boyfriend looked for them everytime he got his haircut;and even got his mom and sisters looking for them too. Finally about a year later he has found them.He bought me multiple as I lost my last one, the thing is near impossible to break. I now have a couple but still want a couple more. Where can I find more and the headbands?
