Collection: Gifts for 12 year old girls

The best part is the click. Buckle Scrunchies come undone in one move, quick release and zero tangle, so a tight ponytail comes down with no snag and no breakage. That is what makes them the gift for 12 year old girls that actually gets used instead of shoved in a drawer: bright colors and prints she wants, on a scrunchie that solves a real problem.

Pick a few Buckle Scrunchies or add a set of Buckle Hair Ties for the days she wants a slimmer hold under a ponytail or helmet. An easy small gift for tweens and 12 year old girls that feels bigger than it is.

Why it works for 12 year old girls

At 12 she is doing her own hair for school, practice, and sleepovers, and ripping out scrunchies that snag. Buckle Scrunchies click open and unwrap, so there are no tangles, and they hold a ponytail through a full day of class and sports.

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!
