"mister mascara" Blax Snag-Free Hair Elastics £5.00 Mister Mascara says... No more knots There isn't a hairdresser, make-up artist or model in the industry that doesn't have a few of these in their bag. They're snag-free hair bands that just glide out of your hair when you remove them. Gone are the days of elastics getting knotted in your hair. There's not much to them but don't let that fool you. They're strong and durable and can be used again and again and again and again... 1-0444-0 (Text on sticker)
