According to KOOSHOO's estimates, every day around 20,000 pounds of hair elastics are created in the US daily! Made from petroleum, these hair ties never break down, and end up polluting our waterways and hurting marine life. To change that stat, KOOSHOO has created the first completely biodegradable hair tie! The Organic Black Hair Ties come in a versitle black color, and double as a bracelet when not in your hair. They're meant to be a long-term solution, but if one goes missing, you can rest easier knowing it's 100% plastic free and biodegradable! Made from GOTS certified organic cotton and natural rubber, when composted properly this hair tie will completely go back to the soil in just seven years.
