What matters most
The most important choice is finding a tie or clip that matches your hair type. Fine hair suits the Original everyday spiral tie. If you have thick, curly or long hair, you need the Power tie. This is a thicker spiral that provides a stronger hold for heavy hair. It is also waterproof and does not absorb sweat, so it works well for sport and active days.
You also need to choose the right colour. Crystal clear spirals blend in and disappear in most hair colours. You can also find black, mint, metallic and pretzel brown ties to match your look.
How to choose ties and scrunchies
You can choose between standard spiral ties, elastic ties and scrunchies. The Original and Power lines are spiral coils that spread pressure around your ponytail to reduce creasing. The Hair Ring is a crystal clear version of the spiral tie for a traceless ponytail. If you want a flexible elastic tie that wraps around a bun or a plait, choose the Wrapstar.
The range also includes spiral scrunchies. These come in a pack of eight with clear, black and metallic colours. Like the ties, these scrunchies use a spiral shape to hold your hair without leaving kinks or marks.
How to choose flat clips
If you want to hold your hair back without a bobble, look at the Waver clips. These come in a pack of 3 in a pretty dark brown shade. They have a helical shape that grips your hair firmly without leaving a crease.
The Waver clips have no metal or pointed parts. They slide open and closed when you squeeze them with two fingers. You can use these flat clips for buns, half up styles and everyday ponytails. This makes them a useful choice for many different looks. They are designed to blend easily with most dark hair colours.
Pack sizes and bundles
You can buy these hair accessories in several different pack sizes. The Original spiral tie comes in a pack of 3. You can also get it as a 3 x 3 bundle, which gives you 9 ties in total. The Power spirals come in a crystal clear set of 6, a multicoloured five pack or an 11 pack bundle.
The Wrapstar elastic tie comes as a single item or in a five pack. If you want to try a bit of everything, there is a mixed bundle. This includes spiral ties, clips, bows and scrunchies in one set.
Care and use
Spiral hair ties will stretch out over time as you use them. You can bring them back to their original shape very easily. Just leave the stretched tie in warm water for a few minutes. The heat helps the coil shrink back to its starting size.
The spiral design makes these ties easy to remove. The smooth surface slides out of your hair without snagging or tugging. The waterproof Power ties stay fresh because they do not soak up water. You can wash them as needed without worrying about damage.
