How to Protect Your Locs and Coils from Breakage — The Twistee Way
How to Protect Your Locs and Coils from Breakage — The Twistee Way
Your Hair Deserves Gentle Strength
If you’ve ever struggled with snapped strands, tension headaches, or broken elastics, you know how hard it is to find a hair tie that actually respects your texture. Loc’d, coily, and thick hair require flexibility and strength — not pulling, pinching, or snapping. That’s precisely why we created the Twistee Magnetic Hair Tie — to give your hair the hold it needs without the harm.
Understand What Causes Breakage
1. Breakage usually comes from three main sources
Friction — rough fabrics and rubber elastics tug at the cuticle. Tension — overly tight styles that stress your roots. Dryness — hair that’s not properly moisturized before styling. Traditional hair ties make all three worse. They’re designed for fine or straight hair, not for textured or loc’d strands that need stretch and space to breathe.
2. Choose the Right Tools A gentle hold starts with your accessories
Twistee’s smooth silicone band glides over textured strands instead of gripping them. The magnetic closure clicks into place — no wrapping, yanking, or over-stretching. That means your hair stays secure all day without tension or breakage.
💡 Tip: Moisturize your hair lightly before styling — silicone won’t absorb your product, so your moisture stays locked in.
3. Style Smart — Not Tight
Tight styles don’t equal control. In fact, they often lead to thinning edges and sore roots. Because Twistee gives you full control over the tension, you can adjust how snug or loose your style feels. Whether you’re pulling locs into a bun, creating a puff, or gathering thick curls, your scalp should feel supported — not strained.
4. Keep Variety in Your Routine
Wearing the same style for too long can cause weak spots. Alternate between high puffs, low ponytails, and half-up styles to give your hair some rest. The Twistee’s flexible design makes it easy to switch up your look without needing multiple accessories.
5. Care for Your Twistee, Care for Your Hair
Clean your Twistee regularly with mild soap and warm water to remove buildup and oils. Let it air dry completely before the next use — this keeps the silicone smooth and long-lasting.
The Bottom Line
Your hair doesn’t have to suffer for style. With the Twistee Magnetic Hair Tie, you can secure thick, coily, and loc’d hair gently — no stress, no breakage, no creasing, and no compromise.
