Sustainability
These plastic-free hair ties are a sustainable solution to a surprisingly large environmental problem. Traditional hair ties are often made with synthetic materials like polyester and elastic, which shed microplastics and take hundreds of years to decompose. In contrast, these hair ties are made from 100% cotton and natural rubber—both biodegradable and renewable resources. Cotton, especially when organically grown, does not release microplastics into the environment, and natural rubber is harvested from rubber tree sap, which can be done sustainably to promote biodiversity and reduce deforestation. By choosing these compostable hair ties, you help prevent plastic waste, protect wildlife, and support a more circular, earth-friendly lifestyle.

Advocating for a cleaner planet, our vegan and cruelty-free products, along with donations to ocean conservation, reflect our commitment to fostering positive environmental change.
What are people saying about Plastic-Free Hair Ties?
How to use
Using these plastic-free hair ties is just as easy as using conventional ones—only much better for the planet. Simply stretch and wrap the tie around your ponytail, bun, or braid to keep your hair secure throughout the day. They’re strong enough to hold most hair types without snagging or pulling, and the soft cotton material is gentle on your hair and scalp.
When not in use, you can keep a few on your wrist or in your bag for quick styling on the go. And when they eventually wear out, you can compost them, knowing they’ll break down naturally without leaving behind plastic waste.
