Collection: Dance Scrunchies & Hair Ties

Dance hair ties have to hold a bun through a full routine without loosening, then come out without pulling strands from a bun that was already too tight.

Buckle Scrunchies do both, night after night. One click and it is down, which is the part every dancer actually cares about.

Dance moms keep a few dance scrunchies in the bag for competition weekends, and dancers keep one on the wrist for touch ups between numbers.

Dance scrunchies and hair ties

Why it works for dance competition weekends

After a full day of buns, pins and hairspray, pulling an elastic out of a dancer's hair ends in tears and broken strands. A Buckle Scrunchie or Buckle Hair Tie clicks open and unwraps, so the bun comes down without a fight. It holds tight through turns, leaps and back to back numbers.

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 dance competition weekends.

See how it works
01 How do you take out a dance bun without breaking hair?

Take the pins out first, then press the sides of the buckle to click it open and let it unwrap. Nothing gets dragged back through sprayed hair.

02 What hair ties should dance moms pack for competition?

Extra Buckle Hair Ties for bun bases, a Buckle Scrunchie or two for rehearsal, plus pins, spray and a brush. Ties go missing fastest, so pack spares.

03 Will a Buckle Scrunchie hold a bun through a routine?

Yes. Wrap it 2 to 4 times and set the tension you need. It stays put through turns and leaps, then clicks open after.
