Collection: Rowing and Crew Scrunchies & Hair Ties

Rowing hair ties have to survive two hours of wind with both hands on the oar. No reaching up to fix it at the catch.

Buckle Scrunchies hold a ponytail through the full piece and click open in one motion at the dock. Crew hair ties that do not turn into a knot inside your hood.

Neutrals and navies for uniform, low profile picks that sit flat under a cap, and Buckle Hair Ties in bulk for a whole boathouse of rowing scrunchies.

Why it works for rowers and crew teams

Rowers deal with early practices, wind on the water, and a ponytail that has to stay out of the way for every stroke, then rip a wet hair tie out afterward. Buckle Hair Ties and Buckle Scrunchies hold secure under a cap, then click open and unwrap so wet, windblown hair comes down with no pulling or tangles.

Benefits

  • Wet, windblown hair comes down with a click after practice
  • No knots from wind and spray, so less breakage over a long season
  • A low ponytail or braid that stays put through every stroke
  • Team colors for the whole boat, from novices to varsity

Features

  • Click open buckle, so it unwraps from wet hair instead of being dragged through it
  • Extra stretchy band that wraps 2 to 4 times for a hold that lasts a full piece
  • You set the tension, so it is snug under a cap without pressing on your head
  • Thin hair ties that sit low under a cap and fabric scrunchies for after
  • 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!
