The bun is the whole point, and it comes down in one click. Buckle Scrunchies are quick release and zero tangle, no snag and no breakage, the ballet gift a dancer actually uses. Soft colors for class and the Nutcracker season.

Give a Buckle Scrunchie for the bun and a set of Buckle Hair Ties for the slick base underneath. The ballet gift that beats another pair of tights.

Why it works for ballet dancers

Dancers wear a tight bun for class, rehearsal, and every performance, and pulling the elastic out after leaves broken pieces at the base. Buckle Scrunchies hold the base of the bun secure, then click open and unwrap so it comes out with no pulling or tangles. A gift she will reach for every class.

How to use Buckle Scrunchies

1. Tying up your hair

  • Start with the buckle closed
  • Hold the buckle so you know where it is
  • Wrap 2 to 4 times around your hair like a normal hair tie
  • Buckle wraps around last, so it can be the first thing to come off!

2. Taking down your hair

  • Locate the buckle (should be around the outside loop)
  • Press the sides of the buckle with the fleshy part of your fingers to click it open
  • Hold both ends of the buckle if you have thicker or curlier hair so it doesn't get lost or tangled
  • Let it unwrap and twirl out of your hair. Remember, there's no need to pull anymore!
