Collection: Best Hair Ties to Prevent Damage

The hair tie made to prevent damage. It never pulls.

Hair damage from hair ties happens in one specific moment: when you take them out. The elastic wraps around your strands, tightens with every twist, and rips when you pull. Buckle Hair Ties change that moment. Click the buckle open and the tie unwraps from your hair, so nothing gets dragged through your strands.

That's how a hair tie actually prevents damage at takedown and still holds a strong, secure ponytail all day.

Preventing hair damage, answered

Do hair ties actually cause damage?

Yes, most hair tie damage happens when you take the tie out and it drags through your strands. A Buckle Hair Tie clicks open and unwraps, so there is no pulling, snagging, or tangles, and you still get a strong, secure hold while it is in.

What makes these different from soft or spiral ties?

Soft and spiral hair ties still get dragged through your hair at takedown, which is where breakage happens. The Buckle Scrunchie and Buckle Hair Tie click open and unwrap, so strands stay put and the hold stays secure all day.

Are they gentle enough for fine or thick hair?

Buckle Hair Ties are gentle on fine and thick hair alike because they unwrap at takedown. Fine strands skip the snapping, and thick hair gets a strong, extra stretchy hold that you can wrap 2 to 4 times.

Best hair tie elastics and scrunchie hair accessories for snag-free, pull-free, rip-free, hair. Smooth, effortless hair ties and hair scrunchies for athletes, active moms, fitness, & sports. Best Hair Ties to Prevent Damage - Buckle Scrunchies

Why it works for anyone protecting their hair long term

Most hair tie damage happens at takedown, when you drag the elastic back through your hair and rip strands with it. Buckle Scrunchies and Buckle Hair Ties click open and unwrap, so your hair comes down without pulling and still holds secure all day.

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!
