When you wrap that little elastic multiple times around your hair, you probably don’t think about what damage it’s doing to it. Hair ties definitely do save us from having to deal with our hair in our faces all day long, but there are some not-great side-effects. You might notice that more of your hair is pulled out of your scalp and that your hair experiences more breakage when you put your hair up. Don’t worry, you don’t have to sacrifice hair ties. There’s another option: Silk hair scrunchies. They can save you a lot of grief (and hair).
The elastic is still buried underneath that smooth, shiny silk, but the silk keeps it from digging into your hair and causing breakage. The material is just naturally more gentle on your hair—plus, it looks so much more stylish. Some high-end scrunchies are actually designed to make your hair look even better. They can reduce dreaded static, while providing your hair with protein and amino acids, which helps hydrate your hair.
For all of these reasons, we rounded up the best silk hair ties for you.
