Why it works for bungee hair tie users

Bungee hair ties hold well, but the hooks catch strands and you end up picking them out of your ponytail. Buckle Scrunchies and Buckle Hair Ties wrap 2 to 4 times for that same strong, adjustable hold, then click open and unwrap, so nothing hooks, snags or tangles on the way out.

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!

FAQ

Questions, answered

Everything people ask about Buckle Scrunchies for bungee hair tie users.

See how it works
01 What is better than a bungee hair tie?

A Buckle Hair Tie. It wraps 2 to 4 times for the same adjustable hold, but it clicks open and unwraps, so there are no hooks to catch your hair.

02 Do bungee hair ties damage your hair?

They can, because the hooks grab strands when you take them out. A buckle clicks open instead, so the tie unwraps without snagging.

03 Can a Buckle Hair Tie hold a big ponytail like a bungee?

Yes. Wrap it 2 to 4 times until it feels tight enough, and it holds thick or long ponytails through a full day.
