STARbands are active bands. Active bands have pressure points which " hold "

the prominent areas while " redirecting " growth in the flat areas. They are

fit very close to the head in the prominent areas and thus need to be

closely monitored. The flat areas have room to grow but not a lot and these

areas are shaved out usually at each appt. They apply a gentle pressure.

Passive bands do not hold in any area. They fit looser and totally rely on

growth to round the head. The active uses growth and the redirection from

the pressure points.
