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 Dark Hues Organic Mini Round Hair Ties (6pk) come in a variety of classic dark colors that are perfect for thinner hair, kids, or fun hair sytles like braids. 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 organic cotton and natural rubber, when composted properly this hair tie will completely go back to the soil in just seven years.

Natural rubber is harvested by tapping the Havea tree and collecting the sap. Sustainably harvested rubber comes from forests that are carefully managed to avoid over-tapping, ensuring healthy rubber trees for the future. Some sustainable rubber tree management prohibits clear cutting to plant rubber plantations, and ensures the livelihoods of native peoples and local workers.
