Collection: Rock Climbing Scrunchies & Hair Ties

Rock climbing hair ties have to work without hands. Chalked fingers and a route that demands full focus are a bad combination with anything that needs readjusting.

Buckle Scrunchies hold from the first hold to the anchor, then click off clean at the bottom. No fumbling with a knot when your grip is already shot.

Gym climbers and outdoor crag regulars deal with the same problem, which is why a rock climbing scrunchie has to stay put on its own.

Rock climbing scrunchies and hair ties

Why it works for rock climbers

A ponytail that slips mid route is annoying, and ripping a chalky elastic out after the session is worse. Buckle Scrunchies and Buckle Hair Ties click open and unwrap, so nothing gets pulled out. Wrap 2 to 4 times for a hold that lasts from the warm up to the last send.

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!
