Collection: Best Hair Accessories for Textured Hair

Natural hair accessories that click open instead of pulling. One motion and your curls are free.

Every accessory in this collection is built around one idea: the takedown should be the easy part. Buckle Scrunchies wrap on like any scrunchie, then click open and unwrap, so nothing drags across your curl pattern on the way out. No tangles, no lost strands, no knot to pick apart in the mirror.

Soft satin and velvet, made to hold a puff, a pineapple, a twist out, or a protective style. Wear them through practice and wear them to bed.

Natural and textured hair accessories, answered

What makes an accessory safe for textured hair?

Two things. A smooth fabric that will not catch on a raised cuticle, and a release that does not require pulling. Most scrunchies get the first part right and the second part wrong. The buckle handles both.

Will a scrunchie hold thick natural hair?

Yes. Wrap it 2 to 4 times at the tightness you choose, so volume stays put instead of slowly sliding out over the day. For the most hold, add another wrap.

Are these good for protective styles?

They are. There is no friction on release, so locs, braids, and twists come loose without fraying or catching. See hair accessories for locs and hair ties for braids.

Can I sleep in one?

Yes. Satin over a pineapple holds the shape overnight, and in the morning it comes off with a click rather than a tug, which is the whole point.

Where do I go for my specific pattern?

For loose curls see hair ties for curly hair. For tight coils see hair accessories for coily hair and hair ties for 4C hair. For the thin elastics rather than scrunchies, see hair ties for textured hair.

Why it works for textured hair

Regular hair ties snag curls and coils on the way out, and you end up with strands wrapped around the elastic and broken ends. A Buckle Scrunchie clicks open and unwraps, so your curls come down without being ripped out, and it wraps 2 to 4 times to hold a puff, bun, or ponytail secure.

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!
