Does your hair tie snap, snag or slide?

Poll posted by BR Natalie

Hands up, who has a hair tie somewhere on their person, right now?  I have one on my wrist (I KNOW, you shouldn't do it), and one in my hair.  And one in my pocket.  And I've just had a dig around in the sofa and found three.  So there you go, without moving I have six bobbles* within reach.  

Where would us mid to long haired gals be without a hair tie?  When life gets busy, mucky or active a bobble can make all of the difference to getting the job done.  And yet, they're not without faults.  Too small to wrap around three times, too loose when wrapped around twice.  Snapping.  Snagging.  Sliding. 

And the NOOOO! when you lose or break your favourite elastic.  Sigh.  There may well be bigger issues in life, but at that moment, right then, the flump is real.

We're going to be sending out FIFTY packs of Mita Active Non-Slip Snag-Free Elastics to reviewers.  Each pack contains a mix of thick and thin elastics, ideal for all hair types.  The bands are snag free and won't pull or tug hair when you remove them, AND they each have a special non-slip silicone strip, which means your pony tail will be held firmly.

So - why not share your hair tie thoughts below - have you found the right hair tie for you yet?  What do you look for in a hair elastic?  How many do you have on you right now?  And have you found the answer to the age-old question...where do all the lost hair ties go?!

Once you have at least five well written reviews against your profile you can apply to join our Expert Review Panel by filling out this survey.

 

*Bobbles, don't you know, are what we Poms call hair ties.  That or hair bands.  Which is more confusing, so, I stick to bobbles.  What do you call your hair elastic?

My entire life I have had issues with hair ties, due to have super thick hair. As a child, I could never find anything that could help me and even now, finding hair ties is such a pain that I very rarely tie up hair up anymore. I would LOVE to give these a try, so I could wear my hair in a high ponytail and have it hold all day.

At the moment I have one..one measly hair tye. I guard it fiercely like my dog and his bones. I guard it because this is the only hair tye I own that is perfect for me hair and I can't remember for the life of me where I got it. There are a few broken hairs dreaded around it so I can no longer where it on my wrist in public. So if it is not being used I am in perilous danger of losing it. I think I NEED new WORKING hairtyes.

I have so much trouble finding a decent hair tie. They are either too tight or too loose. Your hair catches on the ones that have metal on them, and if you do manage to find one that is good, it stretches or snaps after very little use.

I have so many hair ties but they disappear quickly! I'm sick of them snagging on my hair and in my daughters hair, it's hard enough for me to get her to let me tie her hair up let alone facing the wrath of a four year old who has a hair tie snagged in her hair!

Very frustrating everytime I buy hairties they are always too tight! After a while, the hairties seem to stretch a lot and start to come loose from the clip. Once it snapped and hurt my hand. I hope there is a perfect hairtie that I can keep my hair together with damaging it and doesn't stretched too much overtime.

I hate those hair ties with metal bars on them! So glad they're gradually disappearing. A pack that has a combination of thicknesses is such a good idea! Especially for a family if you've got people with long/short and thick/thin hair in the same household.

I have really long, thick and slippery Asian hair, so hair ties slip and slide right off my pony tail!! It's extremely annoying, I'm constantly having to re-tie or tighten my hair. A high pony tail is my go to, but no hair tie seems to be able to hold my hair up. It's especially annoying when I go to the gym or play sports, as I have to tighten my hair every 5 minutes because it's come down. My hair ties also stretch really easily, and they become too loose, but they won't go round another loop. It's frustrating having so much hair! I would love to try these and see if they can hold up my hair!

Only 1 hair tie on me at the moment - and it's actually in my hair. If I get to work with my hair out and discover I have no hair ties on my wrists, it can actually ruin my whole day - I NEED my hair tied back to get in the right head space to work, to clean, even to eat. The worst is when I pick out a hair tie from the pile that is just way too lose, and my hair just droops all day - not ideal! The only time I don't have my hair tied up is when I sleep... so I have about 10 beside my bed right now.

I loose hair ties all the time and a time comes when I am unable to find any in the drawer. Even the one I have been using pull my hair if I leave them natural which are frizzy and waves. It gives headache when you struggle to find the right one for yourself. I will really want to try Mita active as it sounds like answering my prayers. This can make my life easy and stress free.

Ugh I think often hair ties become the Bain of a woman's existence! As a mum and a busy night worker I usually have my hair tied up, as does my daughter, but we're constantly having to fix hair, re-tie it or hunt our new hair ties when then snap! I usually look for a hair tie with just the right of stretch vs snap back to make sure it's not going to be sliding anywhere, but lets face it it never lasts lone before the elastic has had enough!

Yes, yes and yes!! How infuriating! I've actually been thinking recently about changing my hair ties because when they snag they actually damage my hair and when they slide I end up with a low pony every time I'm gunning for a high pony. I'd love to see if these hair ties really make the difference.

I have BIG curly hair, so when I have a favourite hair that breaks, I loose it lol. Because of my big hair, my hair ties always snag and get tangled, so I would love to try these out :)

I tend to loose my hair ties a lot but what really annoys me is how easily they stretch out and break. I hate how my hair is left on the hair tie every time I take it off as well. I always get black hair ties to match my hair colour and it has to be thick because my hair is thick and the thin ones break before I can make a pony tail. I would love to try this to see if they work for my hair

Argh I always chuck my hair up in some kind of messy bun thing because I am a busy mum and my baby grabs onto my hair. My hair is super damaged and fragile at the ends so I am always keen to try correct this. Your hair falls out after having a baby too.

These hair ties sound just what my 5-year-old daughter needs. She was fortunate enough to get my husband's thick hair which must be the reason her hair ties always seem to slip out. Me and my ultra fine doesn't suffer from that issue, although I wouldn't mind that issue if it meant I had nice thick hair! Honestly, with two girls and myself, I feel like I am constantly buying hair ties, who knows where they go!
