The best rubber bands for hair are made specifically for styling and braiding. These bands are strong, reusable, and have a snag-free coating, meaning they will glide off your hair more easily when you take them out. Depending on your hair's length and thickness, you can choose from several sizes of elastics to ensure they don't break, slip off, or damage your hair. Ideally, the 'rubber bands' you use should be stretchy enough to create any style but still hold each section of hair securely with being too tight.
