Best Hair Ties for Swimming

Why it works for swimmers

Wet hair snaps easily, and pulling a hair tie out after the pool is exactly when strands break and tangle. A Buckle Hair Tie or Buckle Scrunchie holds a low bun secure under your cap, then clicks open and unwraps so nothing gets ripped out of wet hair.

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!
