Are Clips Better Than Elastics?



Let's look at the differences between a scrunchie and a hair tie so you can choose the best one for your hair. Are you sick of your hair tie breaking at the worst times? Like 10 minutes into your HIIT class or halfway through your board meeting as you try to fix your hair for the fifth time that day? We get it, and we've been there! Some of the "best hair ties" in the world don't keep your hair in place or aren't strong enough to be used every day, which is what ambitious women like us need!


So what do you do? Do you want a scrunchie or a certain type of hair tie? You want a professional hair tie that will last and move with you. You also want a hair tie company that cares about your time and hair as much as you do.


The Debate: Scrunchie vs. Hair Tie


We think scrunchies are the best. First of all, they are a bit bigger and more durable, and they really add a stylish touch to your outfit. Most hair ties crease and dent your hair, so when you take it down after a workout or out of your messy bun, it looks weird. Scrunchies, on the other hand, are made of fabric, which is much more forgiving and less likely to break your hair. So this time, the scrunchie wins.


Is it better to use a hair clip than a hair tie?


When you just want to wear your hair half up or in a loose bun, hair clips are a great alternative to hair ties or scrunchies. But hair clips won't work for high-performance training days, dance class, or other times when you really need your hair to stay put. So the hair tie wins and the hair clip loses.Real talk: when I want my hair out of my face and off my neck, pulling it up into a ponytail does the trick. But no matter what kind of scrunchie or elastic I use, I always get a headache after about an hour of wearing one.


This is where a big claw clip comes in. The most popular hair accessory of the 1990s has been making a comeback lately, thanks to models like Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber, as well as everyone else who has been looking back on the past for comfort. Whether it's from binge-watching old shows like Dawson's Creek and Moesha on Netflix or going back to the sparkly eyeshadows and lip liners you used to wear when you were younger.


"I think the big, exaggerated claw clip is on trend because fashion and hair influence each other and we're all just thinking about another time right now," says Ted Gibson, a celebrity hairstylist and co-founder of STARRING by Ted Gibson in Los Angeles. "The clip can bring out a fun hairstyle, and I love that it's versatile in the ways you can use it."
