Collection: Hair Ties for 4A Hair

4A hair has a tight, defined coil pattern that's prone to breakage from anything that pulls at the point of removal. The Buckle Scrunchie and Buckle Hair Tie remove that failure point completely, clicking open instead of tugging through the coils. Extra stretchy and comfortably secure without gripping too tight, they protect the coil pattern and the hairline.

4A coils need a hair tie, scrunchie, or ponytail holder built for protective styles, puffs, and twist outs without stressing the hairline. The Buckle Hair Tie and Buckle Scrunchie work as gentle elastics for a high puff, low bun, or braid takedown with zero pulling.

Hair Ties for 4A Hair

Why it works for 4A hair

4A coils wrap around a regular elastic and get ripped out when you pull it off, and your edges take the hit. Buckle Scrunchies click open and unwrap, so coils come down without snagging. Wrap 2 to 4 times at the tension you choose for a puff or bun that stays secure.

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!
