Kitsch Spiral Hair Ties for Women - Waterproof Ponytail Holders for Teens | Stylish Phone Cord Hair Ties & Hair Coils for Girls | Coil Hair Ties for Thick Hair & Thin Hair, 8 Pcs (Brunette)

Personal Background:Hair Type: super fine silky hair - NO volume on top of my headAmount of Hair: VERY full head of hair, as in I have a ton of hair, but each strand is very thinHair Texture: varies (if I air dry it's wavy/has a little curl / if I bush periodically when wet it dries mostly straight / if I kink it a bunch while drying it has light curls midway down my head)Hair Color: Dirty/Golden blondHair Length: Long, hangs about 8 inches below my shoulderSo, I used to use elastics with the fabric coating the band (pretty standard hair ties). Scrunchies, though they would leave less kinks, did not keep my hair together (my hair just slipped right out) and hair rubber bands DESTROYED my hair every time I removed them (despite being designed to come out of hair, I would lose a good amount in the battle because the fine strands just LOVED getting stuck). The soft fabric ties you use on kids(the ones with no rubber band in them)? those did not stay in, but at least they didn't hurt to remove. That really left me with the regular hair ties. For years I had to buy multiples packs a year because they never lasted long (would either snap on me, or the elastic got too stretched out. Because my hair has a silky texture, I had to wrap my hair pretty tightly (to the point of always hurting my fingers when putting up my hair) Aside from the constant hair tie replacing and loss of finger circulation when putting on, I would always get the worse hair kinks. If I wore my hair up for one day, I had to wear my hair up everyday until the next time i washed my hair. The kink was THAT bad. (note on myself: I'm pretty big on my hair care/health, so I would never straighten my hair to remove the kink, and try to only wash my hair a few times a week and use dry shampoo between washings- this could attribute to my hair type) THEN, one glorious Christmas my sister got me the weirdest hair tie as a gift. I have never seen a hair tie that looked like a coil before. She said it was big in Asia and I decided to give it a go (because why not?) It was a weird transition, but one that was surprisingly life changing. The coils in the tie helps keep my hair up by catching the stands that want to weasel their way out, and I did not have to bind my hair as tightly. Because I did not need to wrap the tie so many times round my hair, I got less of a hair kink. I can now wear my hair up one day then wear it down the next. That's how much the tie made a difference. On top of that, they are surprisingly durable. I received a two pack of clear coil ties, and have been using them for 8 months. The only reason I purchased these is because I left one at work (I've been working remotely since COVID hit, and I don't want to drive 45 minutes each way to retrieve a hair tie) and the other one is getting pretty stretched (fun fact, unlike regular hairties, these coil ties are almost as strong stretched out as they are new - I just have to wrap the tie around my hair a few extra times, but they still work like a charm!). I wanted to have some backup ties, and I liked having a few other colors. If I'm going out, I'd rather use a coil closer to my hair color than a clear shiny one.Now, that is my review on coil ties in general (10/10). My thoughts on this particular brand of hair coils? So far I've used them daily for a little over a week, and the products seem relatively comparable. They have not stretched out yet, and they hold my hair just as well as far as i can tell. My only note is that, since working from home, I don't try to get my hair up as nicely. Instead of a high pony tail or a bun, I've been wearing my hair mostly is low hanging loose ponytails. Most of my thoughts on this tie, and the reason I rated it 5 stars, is because I love this type of hair tie, and it acts the same as the ones I've used in the past. I also felt this pack was a great value, offering multiple hairties in a variation of colors for a reasonable price ($8 may seem high for hair ties, but as previously mentioned these things will last for the long haul).UPDATE: I tried binding my hair in a high ponytail, and the coil did stretch out a bit in the process. The coil is still plenty usable, but I don't think they will last quite as long as the previous product I used. However, I still consider this product worthy of five stars, because the price for the amount of hair coils received is still a bargain. I anticipate these coils lasting me a good year, despite the mild stretching I already noticed in one coil (have not needed to use any of the other coils yet) I uploaded a picture to show current hair coil status. The clear coil is the one I received last December (8 months of daily use - often used to bind my hair in a high ponytail, so a lot of strain has been put on the coil) The black coil is the one I've been using for about 2 weeks of daily use (mostly binding my hair loosely in a low ponytail) The brown coil has not yet been used and came in the same pack as the black coil (can see how much the black coil has stretched out over 2 weeks of use) I estimate getting about 6 weeks use out of each coil if I rotate between high ponytails (hair bound tightly) and low ponytails (hair bound loosely).Last side note, because I always look for this when I read product reviews, I write reviews randomly. I usually only comment on products I've personally used and have strong opinions on (I don't write reviews on things I buy for others, or items I am indifferent on. I mostly rate books I've read because I think it's good for authors to get feedback on their work & items i really love/dislike)

I've been using 2 of these for over a year now and they still work great! The rest are a bonus for future use I guess. I originally got these because they are easier for my hands to use compared to traditional elastic hair ties. They are not quite as stay-tight as elastics but they do a great job and are more gentle on the hair. My hair is fairly silky and these stay put. By the end of the day the one in use has slowly stretched out a little, but leaving it on the dresser overnight allows it to reset for the next day. I recommending making the switch. Grab a pack - it will last you a long time, or split the pack with a friend.

At first I thought they were too small, but these little things are awesome and hold my thick, curly hair up all day without falling.

They work nicely in my hair. Only with they were thicker. Good product.

I recently purchased the Kitsch Spiral Hair Ties for Women (Brunette, 8-pack), and overall, I’m really happy with their performance, though I did encounter a small issue with my order…These hair ties are incredibly gentle on my hair. I have thick, somewhat coarse hair, and traditional elastics usually leave me with creases or breakage. But these spiral hair ties work like a charm! They hold my hair securely in place without any damage or indentations. I love that they don’t pull on my hair, which makes them great for both everyday wear and exercising.The spiral design is not only unique but also effective. The coils distribute the pressure evenly around my ponytail, making it feel comfortable even after wearing it for hours. They’re also very durable no stretching out or losing their shape, even after multiple uses.The brunette color is a perfect match for my hair, blending in seamlessly. If you have dark hair like mine, I think you’ll appreciate how well these hair ties blend in while still looking sleek and stylish.The only downside was that my pack arrived with only 7 hair ties instead of the promised 8. While this isn’t a huge issue, it was a bit disappointing, especially since I was looking forward to having a full set. I reached out to customer service, and hopefully, this will be resolved soon. (Amazon refunded me for this purchase since it only had 7 hair ties instead of the expected 8. However, I’m very happy with the hair ties I received—they’re amazing and do a great job without damaging my hair when I pull it back.)I would still highly recommend the Kitsch Spiral Hair Ties. They work wonderfully, are gentle on the hair, and provide a crease-free hold. The missing hair tie was an unfortunate oversight, but I’m hopeful that it will be addressed. Despite that small hiccup, these are definitely one of the best spiral hair ties I’ve used!

I have used knock off brands of these ties before, but when I saw this great deal on Kitsch on Amazon I snapped them up. Love the mix of colors and they are great quality.

I really liked these hair ties at first— the colors are super practical, they hold my hair well without pulling, and they don’t leave a crease after I take them out. The spiral design makes them comfortable, and I like that they're waterproof.However, after just a week, one of them snapped while I was putting my hair up. I wasn’t expecting them to last forever, but I did hope they’d be more durable. The pack comes with eight, so I still have plenty left, but I’m a little worried about how long they’ll hold up.Overall, they work well and are comfortable, but if you’re looking for something long-lasting, these might not be the best choice.

Great product for my fine hair. Keeps hair up pretty well. Not quite as well as hair bands but worth it because it doesn't rip any hair out or leave kinks. Goes right back into shape under hot water.
