The Beauty Box: Twistband Hair Ties

Every girl who’s ever worn their hair in a ponytail knows that the bump you get from hair ties in one of the more annoying hair style issues. My hair is so fine that I actually have to wash it in order to get that kink out. So when I first received a Twistband hair tie in my Birchbox, I was curious about its design and how it would make my hair react.

The Twistband’s look pretty simple, just a piece of elastic tied together that looks like it wouldn’t be strong enough to hold your hair up. However, it is specially designed so that it actually gives your pony tail more flexibility, while keeping your updo together. They are also great in that they are gentle on your hair, never getting tangled up and pulling your precious strands out. And the best part about them is that when you take the tie out, it doesn’t leave that annoying permanent crimp in your hair.

Twistband’s come in a variety of colors and their website even gives you the option to design your own hair tie! They are inexpensive and their unique look means that your friends and sisters won’t be able to get away with stealing all your hair ties!
