How to properly remove elastic hair band
Learn how to remove small rubber bands without pulling out your hair.
Small hair ties are perfect for seamless hairstyles. But getting them out of the hair is pure torture. There are always two equally painful options: either pulling them out (often while your hair is still dangling from the tie) or cutting them out (again, with a good chance of chopping off your own locks). Well, not anymore! Yes, you heard right: no more hair pulling with these life-saving hair tie removal tricks!
If you want to remove hair ties quickly, this trick will definitely work just fine. Just grab your hair styling tool – a curling iron, for example – and turn it on. Now simply touch the elastic with the tool and watch it pop right off. However, be careful not to hold the hot tool for too long or the elastic will leave molten residue on the heated surface and ruin your curling iron. Also, don't press too hard on the tool to avoid melting the elastics on your hair. The faster you go, the better.
