Collection: Hair Ties for 4C Hair

4C hair has the tightest coil pattern and the least elasticity, which makes it the most vulnerable to breakage from a regular hair tie. The Buckle Scrunchie and Buckle Hair Tie remove the pulling entirely, clicking open at the buckle instead of ripping through the coils. Extra stretchy and comfortably secure without over tightening, they protect shrinkage, edges, and length retention.

4C coils need a hair tie, scrunchie, or ponytail holder built for wash day styles, twist outs, braids, and protective styles without setting back your length retention journey. The Buckle Hair Tie and Buckle Scrunchie release clean from the tightest coil pattern, protecting edges every single time.

Hair Ties for 4C Hair

Why it works for 4C hair

4C coils wrap around regular hair ties and get ripped out when you pull them off, which is hard on your ends and your edges. A Buckle Scrunchie or Buckle Hair Tie holds your puff secure, then clicks open and unwraps so your coils come down without 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!

FAQ

Questions, answered

Everything people ask about Buckle Scrunchies for 4C hair.

See how it works
01 What hair tie will not break 4C hair?

A tie that opens so it never gets dragged through coils. A Buckle Scrunchie clicks open and unwraps from a 4C puff, so coils are not wrapped around and ripped out with the tie.

02 How do I do a 4C puff without pulling my edges?

Wrap 2 times at a tension that feels easy, with the buckle at the back. You choose how tight it goes, and it clicks open later with no tug.

03 Can a scrunchie hold a big 4C puff?

Yes. The Buckle Scrunchie is extra stretchy and wraps 2 to 4 times, so it fits a full puff and stays secure all day.
