Collection: Hair Ties for 3C Hair

3C hair has tight corkscrew curls packed close together, the kind that fights back against anything that pulls instead of releasing. The Buckle Scrunchie and Buckle Hair Tie click open clean, no yanking through dense curls, no breakage at the root. Extra stretchy and comfortably secure, they hold shape through a full day.

3C corkscrew curls need a hair tie, scrunchie, or ponytail holder that respects dense curl texture. The Buckle Hair Tie and Buckle Scrunchie work for a curly ponytail, pineapple, or twist out without yanking through corkscrew coils.

Hair Ties for 3C Hair

Why it works for 3C curls

3C curls wrap around a regular hair tie and get pulled out with it, so wash day ends with a handful of broken curls. The Buckle Scrunchie clicks open and unwraps from your curls instead, and holds a pineapple or high puff securely between wash days.

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!
