Hair Ties - no elastics, just rubber and cotton

With the significant increase in the plastic free movement, we go past the coffee cup and straws and head into the bathroom where everything from loofas to natural shampoo is going through the plastic free process, and hair ties are no different. We have 2 brands of hair ties in store, both made from the same materials but with a couple of small differences. Both brands are 100% biodegradable and packaged plastic free. Both are rubber for stretch instead of elastic, both use organic cotton on the outside.

Kooshoo come in two different styles, one flat and fashionable, the others are round and thinner. The Green Essentials hair ties are narrower than the original flat Kooshoos. The Kooshoo hair ties have a feature at the join and are sized perfectly to wear on the wrist for most people as a bracelet, ready for when you need to quickly whip your hair into a ponytail. If you love the fun colours and the idea of wearing them around the wrist as a fashion accessory, Kooshoo is your brand. If you're looking for functionality and affordability, Green Essentials is the pick for you.

Hair ties are suitable to use with all hair types, whether it's with thick hair or thin hair. We have narrower ties to hold a tight ponytail better, and smaller hair ties for fine hair or for children.

What are eco friendly hair ties made from?

Our eco friendly plastic free hair ties are made from rubber and organic cotton. Hair elastics are traditionally made from nylon coated elastic, which contains plastic and other non-biodegradable materials. Whether you call them hair ties, hair elastics or ponytail holders, they commonly get lost and end up in waterways. By choosing our plastic free eco friendly options, the only thing accidentally falling to the ground is made from pure rubber and cotton.
