Five hundred bands in a mix of sizes, which is the pack you want if you are sectioning rather than only tying a ponytail. Small ones hold a parted box for cornrows, larger ones hold a finished plait or a puff.

The elastic stretches and returns rather than snapping on the second use, which sounds like a low bar until a band gives way halfway through a set of stitch braids. They grip without digging in, so you are not tearing through a section to get one out.

Assorted sizing is the point of this pack:

  • Small bands for parting and boxing off sections
  • Mid sizes for holding a braid while you work
  • Larger bands for finished plaits, puffs and ponytails

Sectioning a head means three or four different band sizes across one style, and buying them separately means you always run out of the one you need. Five hundred lasts a home user a long time, and a working braider a few busy weeks.

Application tips

Match the band to the section rather than to the style. A parting that will be undone in twenty minutes wants the smallest size and a single turn. A finished plait that has to survive a week wants a bigger band and two.

Tip a handful into a shallow dish before you start, so you are not fishing about in a bag one-handed with a section held between your fingers.

Results

The elastic pulls back rather than going slack, so a band stretched round a thick section returns to something like its original size instead of hanging loose after one wear.

Across a full head that adds up. Sections stay boxed off while you work, plaits stay closed at the ends, and you get through a whole set without stopping to hunt for a replacement.

Composition

The full INCI is printed on the pack. We publish it here as soon as the brand supplies it, and we will read it off the bottle for you if you ask.
