Best Hair Ties for Thick Hair

Struggling to find hair ties for thick hair that actually hold without ripping your strands? Buckle Scrunchies and Buckle Hair Ties are built for thick, heavy hair. They're extra stretchy, wrap 2 to 4 times, and hold your style secure without snapping or slipping.

Here is the problem with thick hair. A regular elastic has to be wrapped over and over to hold a heavy ponytail, it loses hold as it stretches, and every one of those wraps gets pulled back out through the ponytail at the end of the day. That removal is where thick hair breaks. Buckle Hair Ties and Buckle Scrunchies wrap 2 to 4 times at the tension you choose, hold a thick ponytail, bun or braid secure, and click open so nothing is dragged back through. Hold both ends as it unwraps and thick hair comes down with no tangles. Both carry a 100 year warranty on the buckle.

Unlike traditional elastics that get tangled or pull out hair, Buckle Hair Ties wrap on like any hair tie and click off without damage. They're strong enough to handle ponytails, buns, and workouts, but gentle enough to protect your strands from breakage, even after all day wear.

Perfect for curly, coily, voluminous, and textured hair types, these accessories are built to last and made to stand out. Whether you're training for a race, at cheer or gym practice, mid flow in yoga or pilates, or heading to work, your hair stays put, pain free.

Say goodbye to stretched out elastics and hello to the best hair ties for thick hair you'll ever try. Your hair deserves better. It deserves Buckle Scrunchies.

Hair ties for thick hair, answered

Why do normal hair ties fail on thick hair?

Normal hair ties stretch out or snap under thick hair, then rip strands when you drag them out. A Buckle Hair Tie is extra stretchy, holds a heavy ponytail secure, and clicks open to unwrap so thick hair comes down without pulling or tangles.

Will a buckle hold a thick ponytail or bun?

Yes, a Buckle Hair Tie holds a thick ponytail, bun or braid all day. Wrap it 2 to 4 times, choose how tight, and it stays put through workouts and long shifts. Hold both ends as it unwraps at takedown so nothing tangles.

Do they work on curly and coily thick hair?

Yes, they work on thick curls and coils. Click the buckle open and hold both ends while it unwraps, so curls never get wrapped around the elastic or ripped out. The hold stays strong and secure through the whole day. If damage is your main worry, start with our hair ties to prevent damage.

What if my hair is fine or thin instead?

Different problem, same fix. See our hair ties for fine hair for a lighter hold built for delicate strands.

Why it works for thick, heavy hair

Thick hair stretches regular hair ties until they snap, and pulling one out of a heavy ponytail takes a chunk of strands with it. Buckle Scrunchies wrap 2 to 4 times for a strong hold, then click open and unwrap so thick hair comes down without tangles.

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!

Buckle Hair Tie Elastics – Quick-Release, Snag-Free, Zero Tangles

Love them!!!

I currently have pretty short hair after my summer chop but I hate the feeling of hair on my neck or face and pulling out a ponytail and all the hair with it always sucked. Saw these on tiktok and had to try! I think my fave part is that they work with shorter (between chin and shoulder) hair just as well as they will work when my hair grows out and I start wrapping it up into a bun!

Love these buckle hair ties and now going to need to add some scrunchies to the collection over the fall!

Easy for dads to use and my daughter loves it

I’m horrible with hair and would always pull out my daughter’s hair when taking out her ties. Now everyone is happy with no tears, no torn hair - and they come in fun pink! Definitely recommend buying then for your daily use.

All green kinda day

I love bright rich colors. Hence why I got probably the two brightest scrunchies in the pack 🤣

It's rhe little things

My story is just a little different. After my accident my husband was my new hairdresser. I no longer have rhe use is my right arm. My husband simply can't do a ponytail or scrunchie.. When the scrunchie is open he simply wraps it around my ponytail and buckles it. Yay finally I can wear my hair in a scrunchie again!

So Beautiful!

I REALLY love this blue glitter scrunchie! I love glitter/glitter items and the glitter combined with this beautiful shade of blue really is the bees knees! Such a pretty scrunchie! I’m literally obsessed with these buckle scrunchies, I can’t have enough! They are so much better on my hair and removing them with the buckle method really products my hair as well :). Such an innovative and wonderful idea!

Doesn't pull or tug at all

The best part about the buckle scrunchie is how incredible it feels taking it out of my hair! The dramatic effect is everything and it doesn’t pull or tug at all. Plus the colors are adorable and the fabric is so soft❤️ I’m absolutely obsessed with them!!

SO CUTE and functional

I work in the medical field and wear my hair up a lot throughout the day and during my workouts/runs after my shift. I usually just use a hair tie, but they often give me headaches and tangle my hair. I wanted something cute, comfy, and wouldn't tangle my hair. These are definitely the solution. I get so many compliments on the different colors too.

It’s cute!

I wore my new buckle scrunchie for the first time at work today a 10 hour nursing shift. I looped it around 3 times and did not have to adjust it all day!

My new favorite scrunchie!

I love the buckle scrunchie! The fabric is beautiful and high quality that can be dressed up or down. It's so nice not having to yank on my hair to take it out of a ponytail or bun, and instead, just unbuckle it and gently let my hair down. It's a game changer! It was shipped to me quickly and was beautifully packaged with a hand written note.
