Hair ties are an accessory that, when choosing, attention should be drawn not only to aesthetic properties

Well-groomed, loose hair adorns every representative of the fair sex. True, based on your personal experience, you will probably agree that it is often necessary to "rein" your hair for comfort or to liven up your look with different hairstyles. One of the most common "tools" used for this is hair elastics , which we would undoubtedly find not only on all women, but also on men with longer hair.

Properly selected hair bands and other accessories can become the highlight of a hairstyle, and often the entire image, as well as subtly mask hair flaws. Unfortunately, as always, there is another side to the coin. If you make this purchase casually, without taking a closer look at the properties of a specific product, you risk "asking" not only for the style of the accessory, but, at worst, for its functional properties, which can harm the appearance and health of the hair.

When searching for the cause of your hair problems (weakness, breakage, shedding, etc.), have you considered various factors, from hair care products to hormonal disorders? The answer can also be hidden by a small hair tie, which, if chosen incorrectly, can damage the hair structure and lead to long-term hair damage.

So, in this post, we're going to share some valuable tips that we hope will help you choose hair ties that are not only visually appealing, but also fully nourish your hair.

Basic tips for choosing hair bands

When you start looking through the assortment of hair ties, the variety of products on offer can make your head spin. And we are talking about choosing such a visually small accessory! In order not to waste more time on the search than you would like, you should familiarize yourself with a few tips and follow them.

• Avoid hair ties made of hard rubber or with metal parts.
• Very thin hair bands can damage your hair, so this is also not a good choice.
• When deciding which size hair band to choose, note that you can tie it around your hair 2-3 times. In this way, you will not only comfortably form an aesthetically looking, firmly held hairstyle, but also avoid hair damage.
• Do not choose hair bands that tighten, break or otherwise damage your hair. Hair damage is not a one-time problem that disappears when it is grown out. Once a hair is broken, it does not grow back. In that area, the hair may thin or even begin to fall out.
• It is not only important to choose the right hair tie, but also to tie it correctly. Do not tighten too much, alternate the height of the hair tie.

How to choose the right size of silk hair band?

If you've been interested in silk hair bands, you've probably noticed that they come in different sizes. It is often mistakenly believed that the length of silk ties is directly related to the thickness of the hair. This is a misconception. In fact, different sizes of silk elastics use the same length of elastic, only the amount of silk varies. The more silk, the more ornate the hair tie, giving the image uniqueness and luxury.

Therefore, when choosing the size of silk elastics, think not about the volume of your hair, but also about your lifestyle or the intention to combine the new purchase with one or another outfit. Large silk elastics, which, by the way, look great not only in the hair, but also on the wrist, are perfect for a festive occasion or, for example, to work, to liven up a classic, slightly boring outfit with an eye-catching accent.

Medium-sized silk hair ties are the "golden mean" that looks great with both dressier and casual outfits. And small hair ties are a minimalist, visually almost indistinguishable from ordinary rubber bands, but preserving the good properties of silk that we have already discussed, ideal for sports, traveling or other occasions when the most important thing is the comfort of the hairstyle, and not the praise of others for it. beauty

Extremely small hair ties are also produced, the length of which is about 1.5 times smaller than standard models. This version of the elastics is suitable for very thin hair, children or when creating hairstyles with a smaller amount of hair (for example, tying two ponytails or several small braids).

Hair bands for children should not only be beautiful, but also comfortable

If the little lady is baptized at home, it is likely that you need to spend no less time on nurturing her beauty than you do on your own. And when choosing, for example, which hair ties for children is the best choice, you have to turn your head a lot. After all, just by looking at the delicate hairs of the little ones, it is obvious that the wrong rubber bands can damage them, squeeze them, or cause excessive pressure and pain when styling.

The task is not much simpler - to "hit" the taste of the little princess, which, as a frequent mother will testify, is often very exclusive. Some want only pink hair ties or other hair accessories, others - decorated with unicorns or other fairy-tale characters. We understand how tiring it can be to search for that one hair accessory - a rubber band... It remains to take a deep breath and try to look at this stage with understanding, preferably through the eyes of a child. After all, when, if not in childhood, can we afford to look the way our fantasy dictates!

And one more practical tip. If you see that a child does not want to part with one or another hair band, we advise you to buy several identical ones as a precaution. Few things will be lost, torn or, due to other unforeseen circumstances, disappear: if you can pull out another, the same one from the drawer, you will avoid unnecessary tears of the child and save a lot of your nerve cells.

Both the already discussed silk hair ties and the Invisibobble hair accessories will be perfect for both mother and daughter. The manufacturers of the silk gummies offer quite a wide variety of colors to choose from (including several different shades of pink!), and the Invisibobble range is also eye-catching with a playful design. Unicorn, ribbons, and maybe ears: it is likely that some moms themselves would love to borrow such a "crazy" hair band from their daughter!

Features of care of hair bands

In order for your favorite hair tie to preserve its aesthetics and last as long as possible, it is necessary to properly care for this accessory.

• Both fabric and silk elastics contain rubber inside, which can begin to crack due to improper storage conditions. To avoid this, you should store your hair accessories in a box that protects from sunlight. Also, avoid jewelry holders that are thicker than the length of the hair tie itself.
• The fabric from which the rubber bands are sewn is also afraid of direct sunlight. If not stored properly, it can fade, wear or otherwise lose its aesthetics.
• It goes without saying that hair bands need to be washed regularly. When doing this, use a mild detergent and, very importantly, resist the temptation to add fabric softener. This tool contains components that destroy rubber.
• Silk hair bands should be washed even more carefully. Hand wash in cool (no more than 30º C) water with a mild detergent or natural hair shampoo. When washing, avoid intense rubbing: press the rubber band in your hand like a ball. Of course, no direct sunlight or tumble dryer. Just spread the washed silk elastic on the towel.

By following these basic tips, your beloved hair band will decorate and delight you for a long time! Of course, if you did your "homework" beforehand and chose not only a stylish, hair-friendly accessory, but also a quality-made accessory.
