Hairstrong is engineered for custom fit, serious hold, and hair health—not just aesthetics.

We’ve combined an adjustable toggle, a fortified bungee cord, and soft, sweat-wicking fabric to create a hairband that actually works for your hair type. Whether you choose our Lightweight Hold or Heavyweight Hold Strongband, you get tension you can control and comfort that lasts all day—without slipping, snapping, or causing breakage.

Regular scrunchies stretch out. Ours adjust to you—and stay that way.

Choosing the right Hairstrong band depends on your hair type, daily routine, and how much hold you need. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide:

Lightweight Hold Strongband®

Best for: Fine, thin, or short hair

Ideal for: Everyday wear, casual workouts, low ponytails, half-up styles, and long wear without discomfort

Why it works: Offers a light to medium hold with a slimmer profile and adjustable tension for a gentle yet secure grip.

Note: While it’s designed for lighter hair types, people with thicker hair who prefer a sleek look or less tension can still wear it comfortably.

Heavyweight Hold Strongband®

Best for: Thick, long, curly, or heavy hair

Ideal for: High-intensity workouts, long shifts, buns, high ponytails, and voluminous styles

Why it works: Engineered for strong, supportive tension that keeps your hair in place all day without slipping or needing constant adjustment.

Note: If you don’t need the strength but prefer a fuller look or more fabric, this band still works—it’s just built with max hold in mind.

Silk Adjustable Scrunchies

Best for: All hair types

Ideal for: Gentle styling, sleep, and reducing friction or breakage

Why it works: Made from 100% mulberry silk for a soft, luxurious feel. Perfect for protecting your hair overnight or elevating your look with less creasing and frizz.

Still unsure? Start with the Lightweight Hold for most day-to-day styles, or the Heavyweight Hold if your hair needs more grip.

Yes! Hairstrong bands are designed to adapt to all hair types and textures, including fine, thick, curly, coily, straight, and everything in between. Thanks to the adjustable toggle, you can customize the tension for a secure, comfortable fit that works for your unique hair and style.

That said, some customers with very straight or ultra-smooth hair (which can be more slippery) may notice a slightly softer grip compared to those with more textured hair. The fabric doesn’t always anchor as tightly to those strands—but we’re actively developing a new version designed specifically for ultra-smooth hair types.

Because no one should have to compromise on performance and we’re here to build for every strand.

Using your Hairstrong band is simple—but because it’s not your average hair tie, there’s a bit of a learning curve at first. Once you get the hang of it, you won’t go back.

Here’s how to use it in 3 easy steps:

Wrap it like a scrunchie. Loop the band around your ponytail or bun just like any other hair tie.

Adjust the toggle. Slide it to tighten until it feels snug. This is where Hairstrong stands out—you control the hold based on your hair type and activity level.

Lock it in & go. Once adjusted, the band stays put. Whether you’re working out, working a shift, or wearing it all day, your hair won’t budge.

💡 Pro tip: A snug fit is all you need—no over-tightening. It protects your hair and scalp while still holding strong.

Got extra cord after tightening? Wrap it around your ponytail base or tuck it under your bun for a cleaner, minimal look.

Absolutely. Hairstrong was designed with athletes in mind and tested through high-intensity training. Whether you’re running, lifting, doing HIIT, or sweating it out in cardio, it offers a secure, customizable hold that outperforms regular hair ties—no slipping, no constant re-tying.

For non-contact training, both our Lightweight Hold and Heavyweight Hold Strongbands® stay strong and comfortable from start to finish.

If you’re in contact sports like rugby or BJJ, it’s important to note: while Hairstrong provides excellent grip, you don’t want any hair tie to be completely immovable. Too much tension in high-contact situations can increase the risk of hair being pulled. In these cases, a slightly looser fit—or opting for braids—can help reduce that risk.

No matter how you move, Hairstrong gives you a hold that works with you, not against you.

Definitely both! While Hairstrong was originally designed for high-intensity training, it’s become a daily essential for people who wear their hair up for long hours at work, on the go, or during everyday tasks.

The adjustable fit means less pressure on your scalp, fewer headaches, and a more comfortable experience—whether you’re wearing it for a 12-hour shift or a full day of errands. It’s especially loved by those in healthcare, fitness, and active professions.

And with a range of colours to choose from, many customers use Hairstrong to match their work uniforms, scrubs, or outfits—getting comfort, function, and style all in one.

Hair damage from hair ties usually comes from two things: excessive tension (pulling too tightly on the same spot for too long) and friction (caused by rough materials or constant movement). Most elastics and scrunchies stretch out quickly, lose their grip, and end up pulling on strands unevenly or snagging hair when removed.

Hairstrong is made to reduce both. The adjustable toggle gives you full control over how tight it holds—so it’s secure without straining your scalp or causing unnecessary pressure. The fortified bungee cord offers even support, while the soft, sweat-wicking fabric helps minimize friction during movement.

While no hair tie can eliminate all risk of damage, Hairstrong is built to protect your hair, not fight it—so you get a strong hold with less breakage, less pulling, and more comfort over time.

Hairstrong is made with high-quality materials and engineered for durability. It’s built to last far longer than standard elastics—and we back that with a 100-day warranty that covers any defects caused by our manufacturing process.

Many of our customers have used their Hairstrong bands for years without issue. Over time, like all elastic-based products, some stretch is natural. But unlike traditional hair ties, the adjustable toggle allows you to keep tightening the fit—even if the elastic softens—so your band can still perform like it did on day one.

That said, how long your Hairstrong lasts depends on factors like how often you wear it, how tightly you pull the toggle, and overall wear and tear. But thanks to its unique design, you’ll get long-term performance and reliability that other hair accessories can’t match.

If your Hairstrong fails due to a manufacturing defect within 100 days of purchase, just reach out to us at info@hairstrong.ca with your order number and a photo—we’ll make it right.

Yes, you can and should! Especially if you wear your Hairstrong daily or during workouts, regular washing helps remove sweat, oils, and buildup to keep it performing at its best.

We recommend hand washing in cold water with mild soap and air drying flat to preserve the shape and strength of the bungee cord. Many customers rinse theirs in the shower after workouts and hang it to dry in the bathroom—quick, easy, and effective.

If you’re active every day, our bundle packs make it easy to rotate through the week and do a full clean—just like your workout gear.

Note for Silk Collection:

Silk is more delicate. Hand wash with a silk-safe detergent and lay flat to dry. Avoid heat or machine washing to preserve softness and structure.
