About TELETIES
The perfect hair tie is hard to come by, but TELETIES is here to change that. This company’s take on the classic accessory is made of a Thermoplastic Polyurethane material and shaped into a spiral to grip hair without pulling, tugging, or causing discomfort.
Forgoing the one-size-fits-all myth, this brand’s elastics come in multiple sizes. Its unique twist—pun intended—on the traditional hair tie has earned the brand 169k followers across Instagram and Facebook, as well as features in Refinery29, Good Morning America, Pop Sugar, Cosmopolitan, Oprah Magazine, and other notable sources.
Ready to overhaul your hair accessories? Let this TELETIES headbands review help you decide if this company’s products are right for you. We’ll dive deep into the brand, its collection, customer ratings, FAQs, and more.
Overview of TELETIES
Though a seemingly simple accessory, a good hair tie is hard to find. Most often they’re the wrong size, are made of cheap and flimsy material, or lack elasticity. They cause discomfort and tear hair upon removal.
Lindsay Muscato knew the struggle all too well. Having been active all her life, she couldn’t find a product that kept up. And, after she became a mom, she still struggled to keep her hair up and out of her face.
So, the TELETIES Nastia Liukin hair tie founder launched the brand in 2017. She began product development in her living room, bringing friends on to help build the brand. Growing rapidly and needing more space, the company has since moved twice to where it now functions in full capacity in Maitland, Florida.
Lindsay came up with the name one day in the shower when she thought that the ties resembled telephone chords—TELETIES is pronounced tele-ties.
Today, the brand offers its hair coils, headbands, and accessories in a variety of neutral shades, vibrant colors, whimsical finishes, and fun patterns. Plus, it doesn’t pretend everyone has the same hair type. Instead, shoppers can choose from three different sizes.
As a personal mission, Lindsay ensures that proceeds from every purchase are donated to the non-profit organization FORCE (Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered). And, in April of last year, the company donated over 15k ties to health professionals.
Now that you know more about the brand, its founder, and its mission, this TELETIES headbands review will now look at the pros and cons:

TELETIES Hair Ties Review
There are many reasons why women are making the switch to TELETIES twisty hair ties. They cause less creasing and damage than regular elastics, don’t cause headaches, stay in place, are waterproof, and are incredibly trendy.
If you’ve decided to add these elastics to your cart, it’s time to choose a design. From the TELETIES Animal bundle to the Party People pack, there are numerous styles to choose from. In fact, the brand is always introducing new options.
Each tie is embellished with the brand’s signature small metal ring. If you’re wondering about the TELETIES cut off tags process, you can rest assured that the ring will not cause damage to your hair or get stuck.
Up next, we’ll introduce you to some of the brand’s best-selling hair ties. In this category, TELETIES are offered in one or more of the following three sizes and bundles:
- Tiny: five for $9
- Small: three for $8
- Large: three for $10
TELETIES For the Love of Nudes Review
These neutral-toned ties are simple and professional-looking, perfect for the office, a minimalist look, or as an incognito hair accessory that won’t distract from your ‘do. The TELETIES For the Love of Nudes pack is available in all three size variants: tiny, small, and large.
With the TELETIES small nudes as well as the large, you’ll receive three neutral shades that range from off-white to a medium brown—all with a slight peachy tone. In the tiny kit, you’ll get an additional two shades: grey-brown and deep chocolate.
TELETIES Party People Review
Summer is here, and the TELETIES Party People ties are here to help you embrace the warm weather. The clear elastic is speckled with red, pink, blue, teal, green, and yellow dots, reminiscent of birthday confetti or old-school beach balls.
They’re a little girly, a little festive, and available in all three sizes: tiny, small, and large. But, unlike the last version, you’ll receive 3-5 of the same design, depending on the size you choose. If you’re looking for something more multi-dimensional, check out the TELETIES small Peppermint elastic.
TELETIES Groovy Baby Review
The TELETIES Groovy Baby elastics feature a funky print that pays homage to the ‘70s nostalgia that is infused in so many of today’s fashion trends. The blue tie-dye effect is fun, vibrant, and perfect for a pool day.
This option is definitely suited for someone with a bold personality. Available in the TELETIES large size, shoppers will receive three elastics with the same design.
TELETIES Eat Glitter for Breakfast Review
The name is very uptown New York party girl (think Kate Spade), while the colors are iridescent and borderline psychedelic. The TELETIES Eat Glitter for Breakfast ties are a fun way to liven up any outfit. And they speak to the hearts of rainbow lovers everywhere.
This multi-colored metallic style is available in both the large and small options, the latter is sometimes referred to as the skinny TELETIES size due to its thin shape.
TELETIES Headbands Review
When upgrading your stash of hair ties, you might want to rethink your headbands, too. Designed to be comfortable, stay in place, and not leave a crease, the brand offers 10 color variations. Up next, this TELETIES review will look at three fan favorites—all of which cost $9.
TELETIES Tortoise Headband Review
It’s no secret that tortoise print is an incredibly popular trend right now. From nails to hair clips, purses, and shoes—we’re seeing it pretty much everywhere.
So, it’s no surprise that the TELETIES Tortoise headband is the brand’s most popular print. This animalistic brown and black marbled design will provide a subtle statement in darker hair colors, but will really pop in lighter hues.
When you want to remove it, simply wrap the headband around your wrist.
TELETIES Platinum Headband Review
For women with darker hair, the TELETIES headband in Platinum will really pop. The metallic finish embodies a futuristic and edgy look. Like the other color options, this band is made of a comfortable rubber that’ll stay where you need it to, whether you’re running on a treadmill or out on a hike.
For a cohesive look, pair it with an Electric Silver tie. Or, if you prefer something more subtle, the TELETIES Clear headband is for you.
TELETIES Party People Headband Review
If you’re anything like us, you fell in love with the multicolored confetti hair tie, featured earlier in this TELETIES review. Well, the brand offers the Party People headband to match.
This celebratory print is one that we can’t help but smile at. It’s a perfect pick-me-up when exercising or running errands, giving your look a little glimmer even when you’re short on time.

TELETIES Sets & Tools Review
In addition to its ties and bands, this brand offers collections and accessories to choose from. The accessories ensure you can take your hair products on the go, while the collections let you purchase multiple different sizes of the ties. This TELETIES review will walk you through two popular options.
TELETIES Alyssa’s Picks Review
Unleash your wild side with the TELETIES Alyssa’s Picks combo. This limited-edition collection includes five hair elastics in a curated range of colors and patterns.
There are two large ties and three small ties in this pack, in a mix of animal prints, glitters, neutrals, and metallic tones. In other words, you’ll have new elastics for a multitude of occasions. Get it for $20.
TELETIES Teletote Review
Whether you’re traveling, heading to the gym, or off to another day at the office, having somewhere to store your hair ties is a must. The TELETIES TELETOTE is a clear, circular zip pouch that makes it easy to organize and carry around your array of elastics.
Customers can choose between beige and blue, and both options feature an elegant gold zipper. Able to hold 10-15 ties, the TELETOTE costs $13.
TELETIES Reviews: What Do Customers Think?
TELETIES look durable, trendy, and like they’d keep our hair in place. But what do customers think about these products and the company?
This TELETIES review sourced testimonials from the brand’s website, Amazon, and Reddit to find out. And, it’s clear that it gets an overwhelming amount of positive feedback from customers.
On the company’s website, some of its products have been rated hundreds to thousands of times. And, the scores are exceptionally impressive. Here’s an overview:
- TELETIES (small): an average of 4.9/5 stars from 2.5k ratings
- TELETIES (large): an average of 4.9/5 stars from 1.9k ratings
- TELETIES (tiny): an average of 4.9/5 stars from 295 ratings
- TELETIES HEADBAND in Tortoise: an average of 4.4/5 stars from 385 ratings
- TELETIES HEADBAND in Platinum: an average of 4.5/5 stars from 209 ratings
- TELETOTE: an average of 4.9/5 stars from 152 ratings
We chose to take a closer look at the small TELETIES because they’re the company’s most rated products. Shoppers report satisfaction with the wide range of colors and styles, the durability, and how well they hold.
One woman also appreciates how they can get wet: “I’m a health care worker and I’m always washing my hands. I love how Teleties can get wet or I can wash them and they don’t become soaked and disgusting on my wrist.”
Meanwhile, another customer makes two key observations: the TELETIES look good when worn on your wrist and don’t cause headaches. We’ve all put in a too-tight elastic and had to pop an Advil an hour later, so it’s nice to know that this option won’t cause discomfort.
Because comments on the brand’s site were so positive, we turned to other sources to get a more well-rounded picture. On Amazon, we were pleased to see that ratings hold up. The TELETIES in Almond Beige have been reviewed 1.4k times with an average score of 4.8/5 stars.
Here, we learn that women really recommend these hair ties. Take this user’s glowing testimonial:
“I was always skeptical to try them because they didn’t seem like they had any grip. WRONG! These babies can hold on. And they truly diminish the indentation that regular hair ties leave!”
And, though they stretch with time, they easily shrink back to their original sizes: “They do stretch out after a long day’s wear, but I pour some hot water over them and they shrink back in seconds! I also wear them on my wrist when I take hot showers and that shrinks them too!”
In TELETIES reviews on Reddit, the brand’s products also come highly recommended. Shoppers report that they don’t cause headaches, stay in place, and are offered in enough colors that you can always match them to your outfit—or, as one Redditor did, your nails!
The only negative we came across was that some shoppers thought the hair ties were smaller than expected, especially the small size. Thankfully, the brand offers a larger size. But, we recommend ordering a multipack first to see which option works best for you.
All in all, we were happy to see that TELETIES reviews were consistent among multiple sources, which is always a good sign. Thousands of customers attest to literally everything about this company and its products.
Are TELETIES Worth It?
Without a doubt, this TELETIES review thinks the brand’s products are worth it. From the strong but flexible material that is long-lasting, to the way they shrink back to their original sizes—these products seem like a worthy investment.
Unlike regular hair elastics, TELETIES won’t cause discomfort or pull your hair out. Plus, as stated by the company, each tie “doubles as a bracelet.” Customers are always presented with new colors and patterns to express themselves.

Plus, people like that the brand doesn’t pretend hair products are one-size-fits-all. Instead, it offers multiple sizes.

FAQ
What is a TELETIES Headband?
This headband is a longer, skinnier version of the basic TELETIES. It’s a coil design headband that functions just like regular headbands with the intention of pulling and holding your hair back,
You put it on the same way you would a normal headband, but the coil design allows it to travel through your hair more smoothly, and the rubber label at the back increases resistance so that the band doesn’t fall out of your hair.
Why are they called TELETIES?
The brand is called TELETIES because its hair ties resemble telephone chords. Founder Lindsay Muscato couldn’t pass up the cute wordplay!
Where is TELETIES Headbands located?
TELETIES headbands are produced and distributed out of a warehouse in Maitland, Florida.
How do TELETIES Headbands work?
The brand’s headbands are designed to be versatile, stretching over your wrist, ponytails, and hair buns. Here’s a quick overview of how to use one:
- Stretch the band over your head so that it sits around your neck
- Pull the front forward and up from your neck until the top rests on the crown of your head
- Ensure that the bottom sits just above your neck for optimal comfort and hold
Over time, you might see a slight loss of elasticity, which is a side effect of the “no-rip” Thermoplastic Polyurethane material. If they do stretch out, TELETIES says that this isn’t a problem. You can easily shrink the ties back to their original size.
Simply submerge the band in warm water—the heat will cause the material to shrink back to its regular size. Make sure it’s in the correct shape. If it’s twisted, the process won’t work.
Do TELETIES Headbands leave creases?
TELETIES typically don’t leave marks behind. The company boasts that its headbands and ties reduce creasing, but not that they are incapable of leaving them. Though few customers dealt with marks left in their hair, some reviews noted a subtle crease.
What sizes does TELETIES have?
TELETIES come in three sizes: tiny, small and large. Each option is designed for different hair types. Here are the measurements:
- Large: 6.5cm wide x 1cm thick
- Small: 4.5cm wide x 0.5cm thick
- Tiny: 2.5cm wide x 0.5cm thick
In terms of TELETIES small vs large vs tiny, the tiny is typically intended for children, adults with thin hair, or for styles that require tight closures (like braids). Meanwhile, large is for people with thick and/or curly hair. Small is for everything in between!
What stores sell TELETIES Headbands?
A handful of retailers sell this brand’s products, including American Eagle, Walmart, Kohls, and The Paper Store. If you are a retailer who wants to sell the brand’s products, you can sign up to be a certified TELETIES wholesale retailer on its website.
