Collection: Best Innovative Hair Accessories for Braids

The only easy release, zero snag hair accessory for braids. Click open, braids stay intact.

Regular hair ties fray braid ends and snag on plait texture when you pull them off. Buckle Hair Ties and Buckle Scrunchies are the only hair accessories with a buckle release that comes off cleanly without disturbing your braids: click open, the tie releases, braids stay perfect. No fraying. No unraveling. No damage.

Braids take time. Your hair tie shouldn't undo that work.

Best Innovative Hair Accessories for Braids

Why it works for braids

Regular hair ties catch on braids and fray the ends when you pull them off, and they can drag at your edges. A Buckle Scrunchie or Buckle Hair Tie clicks open and unwraps, so braids come down clean and stay secure in a ponytail or bun 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!
