Collection: Hair Ties for 2C Hair

2C hair has thick, deep waves that edge into curl territory and take real hold to manage. The Buckle Scrunchie and Buckle Hair Tie grip securely without cutting off the wave pattern, then release with a click instead of a fight. Extra stretchy and comfortably secure, no pulling, no breakage, no flattened waves by the end of the day.

2C hair runs thick and wavy, right at the edge of curly, and needs a hair tie or scrunchie with real grip. The Buckle Hair Tie and Buckle Scrunchie work as secure ponytail holders and elastics for a high pony, low bun, or half up style without crushing the wave pattern flat.

Hair Ties for 2C Hair

Why it works for 2C waves

2C waves are thick and full, so regular hair ties either slide out or get wrapped up in your waves and rip them on the way out. Buckle Scrunchies wrap snug for a secure hold, then click open and unwrap so your waves come down without tangles or breakage.

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!
