1/23/2024 0 Comments Ponytail spiral hair tieI tested each hair tie by pulling my hair into a ponytail and wearing it all day through light activities. It was also too tight to wear on my wrist and left a deep indent on my skin in a short period of time. However, they're not so "ouchless": A Goody elastic does such a good job at holding a ponytail that I found it to be uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. Yep, even my slippery hair stayed put overnight in this hair elastic. The band is thick and tight enough to hold hair back all day and night. These hair elastics wouldn’t be the first choice for anyone looking to make a style statement with their hair accessories, but they’re a solid everyday option if your primary concern is getting a stronghold. The pack I tested came with 27 plain black hair bands that don’t contain any hardware. The Goody Ouchless elastics most closely resemble the rubber bands I grew up wearing in my hair. If you prefer a basic hair tie (i.e., not a scrunchie, ribbon, or coil), this is the best of the ones we tested, but it’s not without flaws. Still, if you’re after a coil hair tie, I noticed these same faults with all of the others, so I feel confident that Kitsch is the best you’ll get. This product lost points for comfort factors because it tugged a bit when I pulled it out of my hair and it was too tight to wear comfortably around my wrist. While I wouldn’t say any of them match my hair color, they blend in and look unobtrusive enough if you’re going for an understated look. These coils I tested came in four shades designed to match brunette hair (there's also a set for blondes, as well as a pack of clear coils). And, as promised, there were no creases at the end of a long day of wear in my freshly blown-out hair (i.e., when it’s most likely to crease). Two turns around the hair were enough to hold my hair snugly enough for daily wear, while a third turn was preferable for exercise. Plus, the coils hold hair in place well, so you don’t have to stretch the hair tie to its full capacity for a good grip. Though they have a finite stretch due to their plastic material, they are surprisingly malleable. In terms of function, the Kitsch Spiral Hair Coils promise to be “kind on hair, hold hair in place, and leave no marks or creases.” Overall, the product delivered. The Lululemon Skinny Scrunchies come in packs of six containing multiple color combinations from neutrals to vibrant hues. The only time some hair escaped was while I slept, but that’s a very common occurrence for my slippery, straight locks, no matter what type of hair tie I use. Throughout the day, which included a Peloton ride, a walk outside, and everyday housework, I didn’t experience any slippage. As a nice bonus, the Lululemon scrunchie sits loosely on my wrist-not loose enough to fall off, but not tight enough to leave an indent. And because there are no grommets or hardware, the tie doesn’t snag at all when you slip it out of your hair, either. Though it only stretches to a certain point because of its fabric construction, it stretched well enough to wrap around my hair three times, creating a hold that was nice and strong, but with no strain. The hair tie proved to be very comfortable during both wake and sleeping hours, too. The material feels similar to breakaway athletic pants-soft but textured and slightly water-resistant. Knowing Lululemon is a go-to for active individuals, I wondered if the benefits may justify the price.Īt first glance, the hair ties look very well constructed. Though undoubtedly pricey, these scrunchies intrigued me because they promise to “stay put while reducing hair breakage,” and slipping is something I often have trouble with, especially during exercise.
