1. Style your hair as you want: ponytail, braid, or bun.
2. Wrap the Bellody Hair Gummie Elastics Mocha Brown around your hair a few times.
3. Make sure the elastic is evenly placed, not too tight in one spot.
4. Want to remove it? Slide it carefully off your hair instead of pulling it off. This prevents hair breakage.

Want to give your scalp some extra care? The Scalp Massage Brush ClasSic Black from Bellody is a great addition. Massaging a few minutes before styling stimulates circulation and makes your hair look healthier.

The braided outer layer of cotton and polyester fibres gently wraps your hair instead of squeezing it at one point. This makes it a hair tie without breakage, as the tension spreads over a larger surface. The elastic inner core also provides a firm grip, even with lots of hair. It’s also a hair tie for thick hair that won’t slip down. Your hair stays put all day without feeling like your scalp is being pinched. You’ll notice it from the first wear.

Yes, the Bellody Hair Gummie is suitable for thick hair too. The braided structure offers enough hold to keep a full ponytail in place all day.

If you have very thick or very smooth hair, the elastic may slip a little more with intense movement than a tight rubber hair tie would. But it holds well for daily use and normal activities.

A hair tie without metal joints or hard seams, like the Bellody Hair Gummie Elastics Mocha Brown, is a good choice to prevent hair breakage. The soft textileMantel doesn’t pull your hair like a smooth rubber hair tie does.

Just be sure to remove it carefully. Hair that is already damaged can get caught in the braided cord if you pull too hard. Slide it off gently and you’ll be fine.

One box contains four hair gummies. The packaging is made of recycled cardboard and fully plastic-free.

Want to mix colours? The Hair Gummie Elastics Beige and the Hair Gummie Elastics Dark Green are great complements to the Mocha Brown version.

A scrunchie adds volume and sits looser in your hair, which is nice for home or a casual look. The Scrunchie Hair Gummie ClasSic Black is a great example. But for a sleek ponytail or tidy braid, the Bellody Hair Gummie Elastics Mocha Brown is subtler and more compact.

Plastic spiral hair ties are handy for sports or swimming because they’re water-resistant. They feel harder on your hair and sometimes leave a deeper kink. Which hair tie best prevents breakage with long hair? For everyday use, Bellody’s soft textileMantel wins here.

Choose Bellody hair accessories when you want comfort and a neat look combined. If you have very smooth hair and exercise a lot, a tighter spiral hair tie might be better for sports.
