Why it works for hikers

On the trail your ponytail gets tugged by pack straps, sweat and wind, and by camp it's knotted into your hair tie. Buckle Scrunchies and Buckle Hair Ties hold a low pony or braid secure for miles. At the end of the day, click the buckle open and it unwraps, so trail tangles don't get ripped out.

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!
