FAQs
What’s the difference between a bobble and a rubber band?
Bobbles (or hair ties) are fabric-covered elastic bands designed for everyday ponytails and updos. Rubber bands are thinner and tighter, often used for braiding, sectioning, or detailed styles, especially in professional or kids' hairstyling.
What are the best bobbles for thick hair?
Look for extra-strong or spiral hair ties designed for thick or heavy hair. These provide better hold without snapping or slipping.
Do bobbles stretch out over time?
Yes, most fabric bobbles will stretch with frequent use. To prolong their life, avoid overstretching and rotate between multiple bobbles.
Can bobbles and bands be reused?
Bobbles can be reused many times if they maintain their elasticity. Rubber bands tend to stretch or snap more easily and may need replacing more frequently, especially after multiple uses.
