Collection: Gentle Hair Ties

Every hair tie claims to be gentle. Only one actually is.

Elastic hair ties tug and drag no matter how soft the label says they are. The moment you take them out, they grip and pull at your strands. That gentle label is just marketing.

The Buckle Hair Tie wraps 2 to 4 times like any hair tie, and you choose how tight it sits. Click the buckle open and it unwraps, so nothing gets dragged across your strands or your scalp. It's the only easy release, zero tangle hair tie, so gentle is just how it works.

Built for daily wear, workouts, and every hairstyle in between, without the damage that comes standard with every other tie.

Why it works for hair that breaks easily

If your hair breaks easily, you have probably found strands wrapped around your hair tie after pulling it out. Buckle Hair Ties and Buckle Scrunchies click open and unwrap, so fragile hair is never dragged at takedown, and the wraps still hold a ponytail 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!
