The Best Hair Ties ~ Three Times Stronger!

January 19, 2023 Tracey Bailey

We all want hair ties that stop breakage in our hair, but what about a hair tie that doesn't break...that's something special!

It might have crossed your mind that conventional hair tie brands actually make their ties so they break readily, and so cheap that they are considered a throw-away item—meaning, you have to buy more and the brand's profits increase.

But, are there stronger elastic hair ties that do not snap easily?

KOOSHOO are the best hair ties we have found, not just because of their eco and social credentials, but because they believe in you having to buy less!

To be sure of their claims, Kooshoo had their hair ties tested. The "Flats" (flat ties that are sewn closed) are in a league of their own—three or more times stronger than the alternatives.

Some people prefer the round hair ties that are glued together, so Kooshoo has a Mondo round variety made by a 4th generation Japanese family business. They are not as strong as the Flats, but still stronger than the popular brands.

The Flats, by the way, are hand-sewn by a Fair Trade-certified, Nun-owned social good business in Southern India!

More reasons Kooshoo are the best hair ties

KOOSHOO hair accessories are made from two plant-based materials: Fairtrade organic cotton and natural tree rubber.

Kooshoo hair ties are truly biodegradable and will return to the earth within 10 years after being buried or composted. Conventional hair accessories are made from petrochemical materials and will still exist for hundreds of years after they are lost or tossed.

KOOSHOO uses organic cotton because conventional cotton is one of the most heavily sprayed crops on earth. Organic cotton is better for both the well-being of the workers and the environment.

Who is KOOSHOO?

Kooshoo founders

Founded by Rachel and Jesse, KOOSHOO is headquartered on Norfolk Island in the South Pacific and "kooshoo" is a local word that means "feeling good".

KOOSHOO was started as one small, positive change that could make a big difference. Part of their greater mission is to leave this beautiful planet and its beings in better shape than they found it; and to be transparent and respectful of their impact on the environment, communities, and people.

For KOOSHOO it is about so much more than hairties. They create better products in a better way, while bringing meaning and connection to the world.

Products that will last —but not in a landfill!

Volume does not always mean value!

We are led to believe that a pack of 30 hair ties is a bargain, but those bulk buys are generally of lesser quality, they snap or deteriorate quickly, and tend to be discarded rather than treasured.

KOOSHOO's research found that 15 million plastic hair ties are being lost or tossed every single day in the USA alone. That’s like driving a city bus worth of plastic into a landfill daily. That is staggering to us!

So, think again...If it's a hair tie that won't break, that is machine washable, a hair tie that is made from plants rather than plastic, then a pack of five hair bands could be amazing value.
