Collection: Yoga Scrunchies & Hair Ties

Yoga hair ties get exposed in inversions. A bun that slips during a headstand pulls you straight out of the pose.

Buckle Scrunchies stay locked through vinyasa, hot yoga and restorative classes, then come off in one click when you roll up your mat.

Yoga teachers, studio regulars and home practitioners reach for a yoga scrunchie for the same reason. No distraction, no readjusting between poses.

Yoga hairstyles that work lying down

Yoga hair has one problem no other sport has: you spend part of class on your back. A high bun digs into your head in savasana and a high pony pushes your chin forward in a shoulder stand. The fix is a low bun at the nape in a Standard Buckle Scrunchie, or a low braid closed with a MINI Buckle Scrunchie, so nothing sits under your skull on the mat. For hot yoga, a low pony with a Buckle Hair Tie at 2 wraps keeps hair off the neck and does not loosen with sweat, because the buckle holds, not the stretch. For a headstand, a low braid is the one style that will not shift. When class ends, the bun comes down with a click, no pulling on hair that is already damp.

What hairstyle is best for yoga?

A low bun or a low braid at the nape, so nothing presses into your head when you lie down. Set it with a Buckle Scrunchie and it holds through inversions and comes out with a click.

Does a Buckle Scrunchie hold in hot yoga?

Yes. Sweat loosens a bare elastic because the hold is the stretch. The buckle locks the hold, so it stays where you set it through the whole class.

Is the buckle comfortable in savasana?

Yes. The buckle is small and sits on the outside of the wrap, not against your head. Pair it with a low bun at the nape, the best yoga setup anyway, and nothing sits under your skull on the mat.
