Collection: Best Hair Ties for Textured Hair

The only easy release, zero tangle hair tie for textured hair. Click it open. Your hair drops free.

Taking down a style should not cost you strands. Regular elastics grip the cuticle and drag on the way out, and that is where the breakage, the tangles, and the one knot that takes ten minutes come from. The Buckle Hair Tie and the Buckle Scrunchie wrap on like any hair tie with the buckle last, and one click opens the buckle so the whole thing unwraps.

Built for curly, coily, natural, loc'd, and braided hair. Holds a puff, a pineapple, a high bun, or a wash and go through running, volleyball, gymnastics, cheer, track, yoga, and pilates, then releases without a fight.

Hair ties for textured hair, answered

Why do regular hair ties damage textured hair?

Textured hair needs more wraps to hold, and every wrap adds tension against a raised cuticle. Pulling that elastic back off drags across the curl pattern and takes strands with it. A buckle releases instead of pulling, so there is nothing to drag.

Will it actually hold a puff or a high bun?

Yes. It wraps 2 to 4 times at whatever tightness you choose, so a puff, a pineapple, or a heavy bun stays put through a workout or a full shift without slipping or stretching out.

Do they snag on locs or braids?

No. Because the release is a click and not a pull, there is no friction against loc or braid texture. Nothing catches, nothing frays, nothing unravels.

Which one should I pick for my texture?

Start with your pattern. For loose curls see hair ties for curly hair. For tight coils see hair accessories for coily hair or hair ties for 4C hair. For protective styles see hair accessories for locs and hair ties for braids.

Are they gentle enough for my daughter's hair?

They are. The click release is the whole reason parents switch. No pinning a kid down to work a knot loose, and small hands can take their own hair down.

Why it works for textured hair

Textured hair grips onto elastic, so pulling a regular hair tie off drags curls and coils with it and leaves knots behind. Buckle Scrunchies and Buckle Hair Ties click open and unwrap, so your texture comes down untangled after a hold that stays put all day.

  • 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!
