Brushworks Large Pastel Wonder Bobble Spiral Ties (5 Pack)

Brushworks Large Pastel Wonder Bobble Spiral Ties (5 Pack) is a set of large pastel spiral hair ties whose coil holds a thick ponytail without the crimp a flat elastic leaves behind, in a pack of five. That crimp is the reason most people take a ponytail down and then have to do something about their hair; a coil spreads its hold over several turns instead of pressing one line into the lengths, so hair taken out of the ring falls much as it went in. The pastel colours are there to be seen, which is the opposite choice from the clear or black versions - the tie is meant to sit against the hair as a piece of colour. Five to a pack covers the gym bag, the handbag and the shelf at home.

Materials and what is in the pack

• Five large pastel spiral ties to a pack.
• A coil rather than a flat elastic band, so the hold is spread over several turns.

Why it suits you

• The coil holds a thick ponytail without pressing in the crimp a flat elastic leaves in the lengths.
• The pastel shades are meant to show against the hair, so the tie reads as colour you chose rather than something left on a wrist.

How to use and care for it

• Gather a thick ponytail firmly in one hand before the first turn, so the coil is not asked to do the gathering.
• Wind the ring on turn by turn, stopping while it still feels comfortable at the roots.
• Take it out by unwinding rather than stretching, which is also what keeps the ring in shape.
• Keep the rings away from heat and rinse off any product before putting one back in a bag.
