Frequently Asked Questions

Will this elastic damage hair?

Fold over elastic is a popular choice for hair ties because it is soft, flexible, and more comfortable than many standard elastic types.

Which width should I choose?

5/8" is a popular all-around choice for hair ties, while wider options can create a bolder look or work better for specialty styles.

How many hair ties can I make?

That depends on the finished length of each tie, but one spool can go a long way for personal projects, gifts, or resale batches.

Is this good for selling handmade hair ties?

Yes. It is a great option for crafters, market sellers, Etsy shops, boutiques, and school fundraising projects.
