A few years back my sister Alissa introduced us to these stretchy coil hair elastics that comfortably hold up a ponytail without creating kinks. As veteran lifeguards, we would use similar coil bands (example) to keep our whistles on our arms. And yes.. I'll admit to using my whistle a few times to hold my hair up in a pony. But only on those extremely hot days!

My hair fluctuates from a short bob to a long-ish cut, so I've been using coil hair ties on and off throughout the years. It's hard to find a really good brand of these particular hair accessories since low-quality plastic will stretch out and snap in the cold, proving to be pretty useless in Canada.
It was a total treat to try out the Hair Slinky by La Vita Glam since these hair ties are made with medical grade plastic, promising to last forever. They have 4 main benefits:
- No hair dents
- No damage
- Comfortable no-slip grip
- Looks as good on your wrist as it does in your hair

Classic Collection HAIR SLINKY - Set of 3 for $10
These are fun, cool and totally reliable for all types of hair. They don't tug, they hold well and they look awesome. I love that even though I have my hair up, they don't leave the dreaded straight line dent around your head when you remove it. The small hair-toned coils are perfect for blending right into your 'do when you want to achieve a more subtle look.These hair ties seem to be almost identical to the invisibobble, which you can find at Sephora and Urban Outfitters. They cost around the same at 3 for $10, though I do appreciate that the Hair Slinky brand is based in Canada and really stands behind their product. Better yet, I haven't seen anything as funky as the large purple Hair Slinky modelled by Lisa, below.

Lisa has beautiful thick dark hair while myself and Lauren (4 images above) have lighter, thinner hair. I definitely prefer to use the Classic 3-for-10 collection since they easily grip my short hair into a cute, casual pony. Overall, these hair ties are a complete hit and I can't wait to pick up some more to throw into presents during the holidays. Nothing beats the beautiful colour range, and reliable quality.
Top tip: if your Hair Slinky stretches out, drop into some boiling water. It'll spring right back into shape!
