13FAQs
What should you look for in a hair tie?
Our hair goes through a lot daily, from excessive pulling into low or high buns to heat styling. When buying hair ties, it's important to take a close look at the fabric. Hair ties made of satin or silk are great for those with natural hair or thick curly hair, as it reduces the chances of tugging, breakage, or tension. If a great stretch is what you want, look for hair ties made of elastic. Elastic hair ties can secure your hair in place, perfect for workout fanatics and ponytail obsessives a la Ariana Grande.
