Collection: Hair Ties for 3B Hair

3B hair has springy, tighter ringlets that catch on regular elastics and turn into tangles fast. The Buckle Scrunchie and Buckle Hair Tie skip the snagging entirely, clicking open instead of getting pulled through the curl. Extra stretchy and comfortably secure, they hold a curly ponytail or pineapple all day with no breakage.

3B ringlets need a hair tie, scrunchie, or ponytail holder that won't catch on curl texture. Use the Buckle Hair Tie for a tight curly ponytail or the Buckle Scrunchie for a softer pineapple or half up style, both release without snagging a single ringlet.

Hair Ties for 3B Hair

Why it works for 3B springy curls

3B curls are springy and coil tight, so a regular hair tie gets wound into them and drags whole curls out when you pull it off. The Buckle Scrunchie clicks open and unwraps, so your curls let go of it instead of getting ripped. It holds a full curly pony secure all day.

  • A curly pineapple or pony that stays put through workouts and long days
  • A hold you set yourself, loose for curl days or tight for the gym

Features

  • Click open buckle, so it unwraps instead of getting dragged through your ringlets
  • Extra stretchy, so 2 to 4 wraps hold a full head of curls
  • You set the tension, so you're not forcing a tie over springy volume
  • Fabric scrunchies and thin hair ties for pineapples, puffs, and ponies
  • Really strong and made to last forever. Wear it out (you should) and the buckle has a 100 year warranty

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 3B springy curls.

See how it works
01 What hair tie is best for 3B curls?

One that unwraps instead of being pulled out. The Buckle Scrunchie clicks open, so springy curls aren't dragged along with the tie.

02 Why do my curls get tangled around hair ties?

3B curls coil around anything wrapped in them, so pulling a tie off winds them tighter. Clicking a Buckle Scrunchie open and holding both ends lets it unwind out instead.

03 Can I wear a pineapple with a Buckle Scrunchie?

Yes. Gather your curls high and loose, wrap 2 to 4 times at the tension you like, and click it open in the morning to let them fall.
