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!

FAQ

Questions, answered

Everything people ask about Buckle Scrunchies for the runner on your list.

See how it works
01 What is a good gift for a runner who has long hair?

Buckle Hair Ties or a Buckle Scrunchie. They hold a ponytail through long runs, then click open and unwrap, so sweaty hair comes down without ripping.

02 What should I put in a marathon gift bag?

Something they will use on race day and every run after. A Buckle Hair Tie fits in a race belt pocket or on the wrist, and it comes out of a sweaty ponytail without tangles.

03 Do Buckle Hair Ties stay in during long runs?

Yes. Wrap them 2 to 4 times until the ponytail feels secure. The buckle wraps on last and sits on the outside, so the pony stays put mile after mile.
