5. Microfiber Towel scrunchies
Here’s a great hair hack for busy moms: microfiber towel scrunchies. These scrunchies are said to be an easier, quicker way to dry your hair while keeping it out of your face. If you want to reduce heat damage from your hair dryer and decrease drying time, try this microfiber hair tie. The texture of this towel hair tie aids in drying your hair, without any harsh pulling or tugging and is suitable for every hair type. But do keep in mind getting a bigger size if your hair is more voluminous.
6. Spiral hair tiesÂ
We like to think spiral hair ties have their own little personality, unlike any other hair tie on the market. The spiral design takes us back to the 90s when telephones had cords and Tamagotchi’s ruled our lives. This hair tie doesn’t only give you an edge but also successfully keeps your ponytails and buns in place; there’s no fear of falling out with this one! We especially love how @whatwouldreado styled it in a bubble braid—genius!
7. Scarf scrunchies
Rock it in a ponytail, braid or bun, scarf scrunchies/hair ties have the ability to give you the ultimate girl-next-door look. If flowy summer dresses, pastel sweatsuits and elegant hairdos fit your vibe, be sure to get your hands on these ribbon scrunchies to complete your fresh-girl summer vibe. The fabric and no-fuss design makes it a perfect for simple ponytails, low buns and easy braids.
8. Velvet scrunchies
A cult favourite, velvet scrunchies have quickly made their way to the top of every girl’s go-to hair tie list. Velvet hair ties bring an old-world charm to any outfit you wear and double up the good vibes with their soft texture and ability to slide through the layers of your hair without any damage.
9. Bungee cords
We know the struggle thick + curly haired girls face when it comes to how often hair elastics break while in their hair. Might we suggest an alternative? Bungee cords or hair bungees are an elevated hair tie for anyone whose hair might be on the more curly, voluminous, unruly spectrum. Instead of a traditional circular piece, the hair bungee is a single piece of elastic with hooks on either end. To use this, you easily hook one end, wrap the elastic around your pony and secure with the other hook as tightly as needed. Available in various lengths and sizes, hair bungee cords are a dream come true for curly haired girls around the world.
10. Everyday Hair Ties
Yes, we’re talking about the basic 100-pack of hair elastics that magically disappear every time you buy them. And even though they do, we always go back for more. Basic, everyday hair ties have been our long-standing companions and are easily the most versatile of the lot, too. Perfect for when you wear a low bun, high ponytails or keep it simple with basic braids, these everyday hair ties will help you get there and stay there easily.
