I’ve had long hair for as long as I can remember. If my hair isn’t in a ponytail or messy bun, you can bet there’s a hair tie on my wrist, at the ready. It’s not the prettiest look and elastic hair bands can feel tight around the wrist, so my workaround has always been to keep an elastic on my watchband. Function over fashion.

When I came across K’lani Hair Tie Bracelets & Wrist Bands I was intrigued. They’re essentially hair elastics that are cute enough to do double duty as bracelets. Sold in packs of five, there’s a variety of design themes and color options.

When my K’lani Hair Tie Bracelets and Wrist Bands arrived in the mail, my first concern was the decorative aspects. I worried they would snag in my hair, but that said, I haven’t had any issues, and the ties and wrist bands are strong enough to hold a ponytail or bun tightly.

Three sizes are available. Per K’lani’s website, the medium is the size of a normal hair elastic that fits wrists between 5-6 1/2″ around. Small is geared toward young kids and small teens, fitting wrists under 5″ in diameter. Large will fit wrists over 6 1/2″.

My hair ties and wrist bands are size medium. In hindsight, I think a large might provide a better fit for me. Though size-wise I fall into the medium category, I don’t like that snug feel and dent that can result on my skin. I’d rather have them loose, even if it results in a sloppier look.

Just like hair elastics, I’m sure they will stretch over time. The question is how soon and how much. So far, they’re holding tight.

If you’re the type of traveler that tends to leave jewelry at home so you don’t have to be concerned about theft or loss, K’lani Hair Tie Bracelets and Wrist Bands are affordable enough to spice up your look with little worry should one go missing on the road.

K’lani Hair Tie Bracelets & Wrist Bands come in a fun range of styles. Cost is $19.99 on the K’lani website.

K’lani offers replacements on bands that break within 30 days. Hair tie bracelets can be returned within 30 days of its purchase date for a full refund, but they must be returned with the original packaging intact and in new condition.
