Re: got his band yesterday!!!

[Guest guest]

Pink should be okay, so long as it fades while the band is off

(doesn't have to fade completely). My daughter had brachy and so the

band held the width at the sides of the head. When we took the band

off these areas where always pink, but faded and didn't get red or

irritated looking.
