Today, I wanted to share a UVA trend with you: Twistbands! These unique hairties became a huge trend around grounds last year and girls even wear them like bracelets. I didn't really get the hype-- sure they came in fun colors, but so do lots of other hairties...what was the big deal? I decided to stick to my plain old black hairties and favorite hair clips for the time being.
Finally one day while shopping at one of my favorite Cville stores, Duo, I succumbed to buying a set of these trendy hairties. They come in sets of 3 for $10. I selected the set with pastel pink, purple, and blue tie dye.
The pink one in my hair!
Since buying a set, I've decided I definitely like them. They're a fun way to add a pop of color to my hair and come in tons of different colors as well as tie dye and metallic options (I've been eyeing the metallics for a while now). Additionally, their use of stretchy fabric for a hair tye is less harsh on my hair and makes it less likely to cause hair to split.
The one critique I have however, is that they're definitely not work-out friendly-- my hair's thick and these would not hold a pony tail in place while running, jumping, etc. For working out I'll stick to these Scunci No-Slip Grip hairties that can be found at your local drug store
Have you seen these? What do you think?
