Here’s a life hack I’ve found out the hard way: Invest in nice hair ties. Not for the novelty, or because they’re beautiful, or better quality. Simply because when I know I have a bunch of so-so rubber bands in a bag, under my bed, in another bag, covered in dust…I will lose them at record speed. After spending a few extra dollars on a top-notch, silk scrunchie, I hoard that baby like it cost millions, simply because I love using it so much and can’t bear to lose it. “Can I borrow a hair tie?” is a request anyone with long hair has heard (or made!) way too many times, and the odds of a good return on that loan are pretty bad. So we compiled the best hair ties available for whatever your hair situation might be. Curly? Flat? About to work out? Here are the 12 hair ties that are so good, you won’t want to give on to your friend or lose them in your purse.

FAQs

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.
