FAQ

KOOSHOO hair ties are the world's first plant-based, plastic-free hair elastic, made from organic cotton and natural tree rubber. KOOSHOO makes six styles, all strength-tested 2 to 5 times stronger than the average hair tie, depending on the style, and all creaseless, non-slip and gentle on hair, so they hold securely without snapping or damaging strands. They're ethically made, with the Flat hair ties produced in a Fairtrade-certified facility in India and the other styles in an ethical facility in Japan, and they last far longer than disposable plastic ties.

KOOSHOO hair ties are made from just two plant-based ingredients: GOTS-certified organic cotton and natural tree rubber certified by the Fair Rubber Association. They contain no plastic and are dyed with OEKO-TEX-certified non-toxic dyes.

KOOSHOO hair ties are popular with women because they hold any hair type securely without creasing, pulling or snapping, and they're gentle enough to help reduce breakage. They come in a range of styles and curated colours for every mood, and sit neatly on the wrist between uses.

Yes. KOOSHOO hair ties grip long hair firmly without slipping, thanks to the natural tree rubber that stretches and holds tight. They're creaseless and strong enough to keep a long, heavy ponytail in place through workouts and all-day wear.

Yes. KOOSHOO hair ties are strength-tested at 2 to 5 times stronger than the average hair tie, depending on the style, built to be worn and stretched every day without snapping. The Flat hair tie is the strongest of the range, and with proper care, they all last far longer than conventional plastic ties.

Unlike a regular ponytail holder made from synthetic plastic, a KOOSHOO hair tie is made from plant-based organic cotton and natural tree rubber. It's creaseless, gentler on hair, stronger and fully plastic-free, and comes in six styles to suit different hair types, so it performs better and won't shed microplastics or sit in landfill for centuries.

Yes. KOOSHOO hair ties are available in black, along with a wide range of curated colours, including hair-tone shades that blend in and brighter colours for every mood.

KOOSHOO hair ties are eco-friendly because they're made from plants, not plastic, using organic cotton and natural tree rubber instead of synthetic elastic. They're ethically made (the Flat hair ties in a Fairtrade-certified facility in India), dyed with non-toxic OEKO-TEX dyes, and shipped in plastic-free, recycled paper packaging.

KOOSHOO hair ties last far longer than plastic ones because they're 2 to 5 times stronger depending on the style and are built to be stretched and worn daily. Where conventional plastic ties stretch out, snap and get tossed (about 15 million are thrown away every day in the US), a well-cared-for KOOSHOO tie keeps its strength for a long time, and being plant-based, it won't sit in a landfill for centuries.
