20 Best Hair Ties For Working Out (2022 Updated)

I’ve been growing my hair out and it’s naturally very thick. I decided I wanted to start putting it up in a bun and received a lot of compliments I might add. lolThe thinner, cheaper bands would just break whenever any pressure was put on it.

So I looked online and found a suggestion for these. I’m so happy I bought them. They’re sturdy and keep everything in place.

I didn’t think it could be possible to have a hair tie that actually holds my hair and stays there all day WITHOUT having to keep redoing it all day long. I put it up before I go to bed and it’s still mostly in the same spot when I wake up.

The best. I will keep buying these until the day I die. (If they ever break, so far so good. ).

A must have product for anyone with thick hair. Holds in place, tightly, without causing the heavy hair headache that normally comes with thick hair in a ponytail all day.

Bye bye, ponytail headaches! Hello ALL day hold! My high pony stays there all day, no redoes! It’s just the BOOST my hair needed. Also, Thick kept my stray messy baby hairs in high pony for work, over 6 hours till bed, I couldn’t believe that.

I LOVE the softness of GIMME Thick hair bands! It slips out of my hair like silk, no more hair tears or ripping! I bought Thick and Long version(for buns) and already have more FUN COLORS in my GIMME cart, and getting my daughter(so much hair!) both, she needs them! Too many positives to mention, and I cannot find any negatives.

Buying more, telling everyone I see with long or thick hair. One college student told me she wished she had these when in high school cheer.

I was hopeful that this thick fit hair tie would be just what I need. But sadly, the product is a no for me. I have thick hair, and could barely wrap the hair tie around my pony tail two times. A bun is not even possible.

I think there isn’t enough stretch perhaps. The worst part is that when I reached out to customer service to try a different style, over 5 business days went by and I haven’t heard back. I did get an email to review the product so that’s why I’m leaving this review.

Super disappointed and feel like it was a waist of my money.

I’ve been using these (Balance set of 6 bands) for about 3 weeks, almost exclusively, and wear ponytails/buns every day for the gym and just going around. First– I will say that they are super cute, and don’t tug and are comfortable/secure and add a bit of pleasant oomph to a basic workout look.

Was definitely super obsessed during week 0-1. 5, even bought some for a friend as a present. However, as week 2+ came around, I started to notice some changes and declines in quality/performance that definitely doesn’t justify the original price point of $12 + shipping imo.

Also worth noting is that over time, they change shape and become thinner (less height vertically) and longer, looking less like a non-poofy scrunchie/like the original pictures. My hair is medium in thickness and length I usually settle for 3 loops around for a regular high ponytail, sometimes 4 if I’m doing some pretty rigorous exercise.

I’m when I first got these, 2 was enough for a bun, and 3 was an incredibly secure ponytail, and I know for fact that all of them have stretched out (to varying degrees) after first use ((I misplaced one and found it later and was able to compare/contrast)).

Now, three loops around with my more frequently worn bands leads to slight sagging and requires readjustment. I’ve gently handwashed one with shampoo and cold water and that hasn’t seemed to affect wear and elasticity.

However, I will say that even 1 use in a bun (for 3+ hours) seems to now result in irreparable loss of elasticity! Additionally I’ve noticed some fuzzing in the material on some of my bands, perhaps due to being overstretched.

On one of my bands, curiously, it’s kept its shape, but it has ton of fuzziness and now has exposed black threads– doesn’t seem like it’ll last too much longer. Would attach pics but it’s not an option! I’ll keep using these until they completely lose their stretchiness/become too big, since they *are* cute.

I’ve ordered the long hair black bands which are of a different material and hope those go better!.

These are great! I have shoulder length, thick hair (hair so thick, it tends to break all hair ties) and these are great! They offer the perfect amount of stretch but still hold on securely when tied in hair.

I have one in right now, I have it looped three times, and my hair is staying in place and does not move or fall out. The coils do stretch out, but I have never had a problem with this, they fit perfectly on the wrist when not in use, and if you do want to shrink them back to their original size, pop them into a cup of boiling water.

I believe these are more reliable for thick hair then the Goody or whatever other brand of hair ties, as they are harder to break (and I mean, I have stretched them out beyond all belief and they have lasted forever).

I have had them for months, and I have only used two, because like I said, they do not break and they are very reliable. The best part? I can wear these in a tight ponytail, take it out and there is no crease/wave/bend in my hair from it at all.

I can straighten my hair and then put it up for a while, and take it out and still have completely stick straight hair still. It has saved me a lot of unneeded heat and potential damage to my hair from not needed to straighten it again.

I was HIGHLY skeptical of these but gave them a shot. There is a SLIGHT (really very minimal) learning curve/adjustment to getting used to these over usually hair ties. My hair is long (past my chest), and there is a lot of it (anyone thats ever cut my hair comments “oh wow you have a lot of hair”).

I usually use 2 hair ties at the same time to put my hair in a high pony. TWO hair ties to gives the pony tail more OOMPH so its not flat, and they also hold my long thick hair securely in place better.

If its up longer than a few minutes then thats all I can do with it until I was it again because it will be creased. Also, by the end of the day my scalp will be at least a little sore from the tightness.

THESE SOLVE ALL OF THOSE ISSUES!!!!!!!! WITHOUT making my head hurt, or pulling my eyebrows back bc my hair is so tight lol I really am impressed when I was expecting that I would be absolutely unimpressed.

I really thought I was going to end up returning these. Instead, Im buying more! LET ME REPEAT: I CAN PUT MY HAIR IN A PONY FOR HOURS AND WHEN I TAKE IT DOWN IT LOOKS JUST LIKE IT DID WHEN I PUT IT UP!! Im amazed at this witchcraft!.

Goody brand no-metal hair ties have always been a go-to for me. I am constantly wearing my hair up (either completely in a ponytail or messy bun, or half up/half down), and I reach for these ties before others thanks to their hold and fun colors.

I enjoy having a variety of colors to choose from, and these allow me to be creative or just stay natural. There aren’t any special grippy bits to these, which helps keep my hair healthy and prevents it from being torn out! My only complaint is that they do stretch out/lose their elasticity over time (maybe a few weeks of constant wear), but losing one tie every few weeks is worth it.

These are just your basic black hair elastics to throw your hair up in a messy bun or quick pony tail or whatever. But I do love that they don’t have any metal. Especially for someone like me who has had to have a LOT of CT scans MRIs and they always make you take off anything w/ metal.

But ha, I don’t have to w/ my hair band! I also like these because they don’t pull my hair I am a naturally 3b curly girl here I’m sure other curly girls know, things can get stuck hidden in our hair easily.

Also, when my 8 yo wears these, she has super straight, silky hair, they stay in all day she doesn’t complain about them hurting her either. One other thing, these last me forever! I literally use the same hair band over over until I wear it out! I mean like a month straight!.

I don’t know how Goody got their name but it should be because if you ask someone for a hair band and they hand you one of these you think “oh Goody, it’s a Goody” There are the few people in the world that genetically just have the perfect hair and can use any cheap product and their hair still looks gorgeous and perfect.

Then. there’s the rest of us. 95% of buyers Lol Goody’s hair elastics don’t break. They last so long they literally wear out you can repurpose in about 50 ways Great color choices made for different thicknesses.

Perfect amount of “slipperiness” to the band so it doesn’t catch on hair but also doesn’t slide out easily either. Stop wasting your money at the dollar store buying off brands where the hair tie breaks the first time you use it.

Goody never disappoints.

These are perfect for thick hair!!! I couldn’t find a hair elastic that would keep my hair up while working out and this does just that! They are very comfortable and don’t pull on your hair or get stuck in it either!.

I have super thick hair and regular hair bands tend to break within a few days. My daughters hair are starting to become thick as well and hair bands keep breaking. I decided to try these out and I’m never buying any other kind of hair bands!!! They’re thicker and also bigger than the normal hair bands so they dont cut off circulation of your wrist.

I’ve had a hard time finding hair ties that I can get two Or more loops out of when putting up my hair and these are amaaaazing! Super stretchy but also hold. 10/10 Recommend!

Not enough stretch/elasticity for me. And the snaps snag my hair, especially in the struggle to stretch the way I need to, even with clasping two of the bands together. For the price, I expected a much better experience.

Returning.

Soft and strong. Doesnt break my daughters hair while still holding it securely in place. Easy to use and remove. No more tears when I take her hair out and no more breakage. Worth every penny!

This was the best price at 14 dollars. Other sites were $27. I thought it was in the store but it ended up being shipped. The shipping was fast though so it its okay.

I like the fact that these hair ties are strong and do not break easy. I have really thick hair that needs a sturdy hair tie. One of the things that needs improved on is that it still rips my hair when I try to remove them.

Even though they do not have the metal, they still tears my hair. I have a sensitive scalp and it hurts when I try to take these out. You need to improve this part of the hair ties.

NO ACTUAL ITEM NUMBER SO WHO KNOWS WHAT TO ORDER ONLINE. Goody, please give all your items actual model numbers or names for these hair ties instead of just a number that changes when you sell them in a 20/30/50 pack.

If the hair ties themselves have an actual item number/name then no matter how many are in a package/card the model name/number will always point us to the correct ties. We honestly don’t know, we only guess the size right online? Now I have to go to the store and get the right size I need because the wrong size was sent to me here.

Another great buy. I love these. Easy to use. No pulling out half my hair trying to get the other kind out. I have them everywhere. My car, purse, multi drawers at home. Great product. You can pick em up at the dollar store.

Comes in many colors so you can accessorize with your outfit.

I received these today and was excited to put one of these in my hair after my last remaining hair tie broke and was desperate for a replacement. Unfortunately, I’ve been left disappointed. Look, they’re cute to look at, I guess.

In terms of practicality, they’re not the most supportive hair tie. Maybe if you have thinner, or less dense hair then these hair ties will be perfect for you. If you, like me, have thicker or denser hair, expect these to annoy you.

I can wrap one of these around my hair twice, with enough stretch left over to make it too loose to properly hold up my hair, but not enough give to wrap it around my hair again. May work to hold half my hair, but not all of it at once.

Maybe for going out with a half up do, but not for everyday use. I can also see these becoming even flimsier quite quickly. If I could return these, I would. Not for me unfortunately.

These are really good to quickly throw your hair up and do kink your hair less than normal hair ties. If you’re like me though and like wearing your hair ties on your wrist then these don’t really work.

From the first use they stretched out to nearly double size. Also probably niggly if you have fine hair as you’d have to wrap it around loads.

Such a cute towel! I love that even the button detail is adorable. I have naturally wavy hair, & it’s really frizzy. This towel seems to help that! I love that I can keep it on and do chores and it doesn’t come undone.

My hair takes all day to dry if I let it air dry, but this towel cuts the time down, which is awesome! Added bonus: I have neck pain and other towels are heavy and make things worse! This is so much better!.

My 6 year old daughter has inherited my fine low density waves. Additionally, her hair is very silky. It’s beautiful, but it’s so hard finding hair bands that stay put. I’ve definitely used other coil style hair bands and they do work, BUT I have to wrap them 4-5 times for them to stay in my daughter’s hair and then removal can be tricky.

I’m happy to report that these tiny size teleties are the perfect solution! I wrap it twice for a pony tail or 3 times for pig tails. Removal is much easier with this brand and so far the teleties seem to be maintaining their shape.

I mention this last part because another well known coil style elastic would get SOOO stretched out and twisted after just a few uses and hot water didn’t really help the situation. I’m happy to report that doesn’t seem to be the case here.

Oh. and I personally find them useful for when I want to do a half-up half down hair style since I also have fine low destiny hair.

These don’t stay in my hair. They slide down almost immediately. The advertisement said that they stay in place better than other bands or scrunchies. I have found that my pony tail would come loose and start to slide off after a couple of hours using coated bands or scrunchies.

When I tried the teleties, it slipped down and my ponytail fell out within 5-10 minutes. They are supposed to not pull hair out but I had them tangle in my hair and pulled hairs out every time I tried the teleties.

This product is not as described and doesn’t work well at all. A complete waste of time and money. I ordered the small ones and they didn’t work at all. The return policy says you must return them unused but I had to try one to find out that it didn’t work at all.

I’m very disappointed and unhappy with the teleties.

There are no better hair ties on planet earth than these, I promise you! I have been on the hunt for the perfect coil hair tie for years. I bought some amazing ones in Europe five years ago, and was never able to find any in the US that were as good.

This is how I evaluate a quality coil hair tie: long lasting, bounces back to shape and size after use, realistic/natural color for hair, and doesn’t break easily. These hair ties fit ALL of those parameters, they are long lasting and return to their shape and size even after hours and hours of use in my hair, they stay tight in the hair without pulling individual hairs at the scalp and causing pain, and they don’t break easily.

I absolutely love them! So glad I finally found these.

I have used one hair tie for TWO YEARS before it finally broke on me. In the beginning it would be a little hard to find whenever I dropped it on the floor but eventually it was dyed orangish by a hair product I used.

Maybe if I washed it thoroughly more often it would stay more clear but I didn’t mind it. I loved that any time it stretched out, blowing it with a hair dryer immediately brings it back to its original form.

It was cool seeing it sorta shrink lol. I used to do this regularly but later on I kinda liked it a little more stretched out. I began to prefer a looser hold over a tight one so it was perfect for me.

I’m sure it would go back to being tight if I blow dried it but I just never did. It really did not leave any bumps, unless I really really tried to tie it super tight and looped it more times than I should.

Even if I didn’t blow dry it, it would shrink back a little on its own when left alone on a table or something. This stretch allowed me to wear it on my wrist comfortably (however, I have thin wrists so idk how well it will fit everyone).

If you think it is pricy for a hair tie, it is a good investment. If I am able to get 2 years use out of one tie, then a pack of three will last me roughly 6 years!.

I like this brand over most and my last purchase was this brand but I couldn’t remember specifically what kind I got. I bought these based on reviews. I have thicker, right past shoulder length, type 2a hair.

These are great if you have thick hair and want a tight hold and grip. I started at 2 and then went to 3 loops around and very tight on my head. actually too tight for me. I like my pony tails not to move but no matter which way I adjust these, they are constantly pulling on my hair strands and making it uncomfortable to where sometimes I have a headache after I take out.

I need the size/type like right under these I feel like BUT I was disappointed how the kind I got before these by Invisabobble stretched super quick and these don’t really. I continue to use because I have 5pk but wouldn’t repurchase for my hair.

I absolutely love this set of colors. I have thick curly hair and these hair ties have been a life saver. I usually don’t branch out with colors, I tend to stick to black hair ties having darker brown hair but this set is absolutely gorgeous.

Plus, my daughter’s name is Violet so when these dropped, they were a MUST. Totally recommend. I love all 3 of them. Beautiful.

Today was the Day, 12/31/2020, that I took my daughter on a little shopping trip of appreciation to a local Antique/Flea Market just to browse around and possibly instill in her an appreciation for history, heritage and things of the vintage variety.

Little did I know that after looking around and chatting with the shopkeeper that we would happen upon a variety of Teleties at the front counter!!! Well, me being somewhat of a dad that enjoys treating his daughter to nice personal care products, my gaze fell upon the “Eat Glitter for Breakfast” design which I picked up and hinted that she might like, which she did!!! I secretly liked it too and hinted to her that if she let me have one of those for a wristband she could pick out several other designs which I didn’t have to encourage her to do!!! Done Deal!!!.

and come to find out Teleties has an interest in supporting the cancer awareness aspect made it all the more special!!! Thank-You Teleties!!!😁👍🏻.

My daughter and I love our Teleties! We have very thick wavy hair. It is so hard to find hair ties that will hold our hair. These have never failed us. I usually get the large for pony tails or buns.

My daughter uses the large and small for pony tails and French braids. We love all of the different colors. My daughter loves the Coke collection.

I have been using these hair ties for years, but they occasionally get lost. I don’t know why these aren’t available anymore. I found some in the Dollar General two years ago and bought the last two packs they had.

I am down to about 5 left, but my daughter loves them, too and wants to only wear these. She’s 11 and still loses hair ties, so I’m very protective of my last few. Please bring these back! Pretty please?.

They are the best hairties I have ever used. They are even more ouchless than all other ouchless brands. But the problem is: they are nearly impossible to find now! I found a source on ebay, but the shipping is too much to justify.

It does seem some Kmarts have them, but you might have to drive a long distance (at which point you might as well buy the ebay ones). If Goody does not want to make and promote these, maybe its time I make my own and sell them!.

I bought these hair ties a long time ago and I’m down to my last one. I cherish it like gold. Where can I find these again? I look at every CVS and Rite-Aid I pass by. I have curly think long hair and this never gets tangled and actually holds my hair in place without falling out.

Ever.

These elastic bands are great. They’re wide, soft and nice and stretchy. The shop allowed me to order a custom length and to not have them pre-knotted so I could knot them to my desired preference. Shipping was very fast.

Very happy!.

Very prompt shipping in a nice package. These were purchased as a gift, so speed and packaging mattered to me. BlueOcean delivered nicely.

Wonderful seller, lovely, ribbon like bands. Can’t wait to use them!

for $12,first let me say these are the best hair ties you can buy. But I won’t lie and say they are perfect. They will stretch out over time, and if you work out in them, I would recommend tossing them in the wash every once and awhile.

But even though they have stretched out and are no longer skin tight to my wrist, it just means that instead of 3 loops to keep my hair tight, I just have to use 4. so they might not be fresh and tight, but they still work.

I would put this to the fact that they are really frickin durable, mainly because the elastic is stitched together and while i haven’t tested it, I would bet that the claim that they can hold 100 lbs.

So safe to say, i still keep using them, and will do so until i can find a way to break one. One last thing is that don’t become too attached to the black band that goes over the seam and stitching, as the glue is a little weak and will probably come off after heavy use, but a quick fix with super glue will fix it.

So if you are looking for a stylish and long term functioning hair tie for a hella reasonable price, then these hair ties are for you.

I love the Combat Pack hair ties. They’re perfect for securing my bangs back so they stay out my face when riding with the windows down. They also double as cool bracelets and tie downs for my dive gear.

I wish you could build your own hair tie packs or by them individually. My favorite ties in the pack are the ammo and the camo. The other two I shared with a buddy. The sergeant headwrap is the suv Swiss Army knife for securing my hair in a quickness.

It’s great for when I’m having to wear a helmet or when I’m swimming/diving or biking 🚴‍♀️. I would like to have one if not ten in the South Vietnamese Tiger 🐅 stripe camouflage pattern. Check out the John Wayne movie 🎥 The Green Berets to get the color scheme exactly right.

Fresh Greens Hair Oil is the Goldilocks of hair oils. Not too thick or greasy and the scent is mild. I use it in my beard 🧔🏾 and my 🦁 mane.

I absolutely love my hair ties! I bought the Combat Pack and they’re great when I’m sighting in a high caliber rifle and I don’t want the buttstock to yank the heck out of my hair. The quality is superb, the patterns are straight up badass, and the protection they provide is unmatched.

I love this version of the invisibobble. I have fine-medium coarse hair and I have a lot of it, so this holds it better than the other invisibobbles I have tried. I honestly dismissed this at first because I have tried the others back then but never held my hair up.

My daughter absolutely wanted it so we tried it during the 21 days of beauty sale and I don’t regret buying a bunch! What I particularly think this is useful for is that not only can it pull my hair up in a pony or a bun without leaving any dents in my hair, I can sanitize it at home with alcohol or by washing it in hot water without waiting for it to dry.

I am an anesthetist and I am constantly in front of patients’ airways that might have COVID so it is important for me to be able to sanitize it after I work.

I love Invisibobble! This is the only hair rubber-band that does not pull on my hair or falls out. I use Invisibobble daily. Invisibobble does NOT break easily (I have received gifts or bought similar cheaper ones that break the first time I try to use them in my hair; and, my hair is straight and thin).

Definitely worth paying extra for!.

These are very comfortable, and stay very well in my fine thin hair without having to wear tightly. However, the look is not particularly attractive.

Love teleties which some patterns would stay and colors of both clips and hair ties. Especially neutral colors. Love color evergreen in clips please consider keeping that color. Or bring some more evergreen clip mediums back.

I have one thing that I don’t like about the hair ties is the color and or pattern fades off.

I’m not a fan of headbands because they usually hurt my head or just pop off of my head. This one looks good, doesn’t hurt my head and stays on. Love the Halloween color too!

These ties are so much easier on my hair than the normal ponytail holders. I don’t have to worry about removing half of my hair to take them off. Thank you for a great product.
