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.
