[@infinitelyblessed4812]

***** where did you buy it from whit

[@freshfaced625]

Thanks Whitney! You're a blessing! I'm tired of buying store bought hair ties that don't work properly and break or deteriorate soon afterwards, this is exactly what i need. Also, i love your vlogs, they make me laugh so much and i'm glad to see your life going so well, keep them coming.

[@Naptural85]

[@BrittanyLoveTV]

WOWWW at me following you for years and just finding out we have the same favorite color!!! No wonder why I adore you so much!! TEAM YELLOW!

[@ronniefea2899]

You simply make me smile!

[@MzKinkyCurl]

Also, you can make them longer, like 18-20" ( headband size), in order to band the hair to create a heatless stretching technique

[@gramnet]

thanks for the measurements bc I would prefer to make a headhand

[@kgaerr]

Tip: Burn the ends to stop them from fraying.

[@Caram3l_Bombsh3ll]

DIY is what it's all about. I just love your personality.

[@ramsay014]

Just got mine in the mail from elastic by the yard! Super excited!!

[@Sahara333]

So clever!! I'm going to buy this fabric tomorrow and make them with my mom, she's super excited. I'll be able to replace all my hair ties and head bands!

[@heysarahhayes]

I can NEVER find them and now I don't have to because I can do them myself! You are so awesome for this and shoutout to Q for passing it along :)

[@trypeacealways]

[@lovespink2012]

I love ribbon ties!

[@Joined4theVideos]

I got my elastic and made my first yard of hair ties. I got so many colors. YAY! thanks Whitney! :)

[@al1honey]

Shout out to the Team Qui Santewa/Naptural85 collaboration👏. Bravissimo y'all!!

[@khiofficial2900]

Omg yessss!! Thanks!! I am loving all of these diy hacks and things💛💛 My fav color is yellow too btw. Its kinda rare to hear someone say they like yellow. A lot of people say eww like its a bad color😂😂✨✨

[@marilynreadus3710]

Thank you! You're so creative!

[@vvkelly97]

Just got my elastic and made my first ones. I made my 12 inches instead of nine so I can loop them around my hair twice easier.

[@sherwandagriffin]

Thanks so much. My hair always seems to curl around other hair ties. I am so excited.

[@saffylew]

i also use old stockings that have holes in i snip one leg hold and one end in my mouth for stability while I wrap the stocking leg around my pony tail and eventually bring the two ends together and tuck under to make it neat!

[@ALEXsimplycomplex]

I just purchased 2 pks of the goody brand on Fri after seeing your Favs.. I LOVE these things!!!! Now I must try this DIY thanks for sharing

[@ManiSimone]

Yesssssssssss! 🏃girl I'm running to the store!

[@The1NYCgirl]

This is so awesome! I always pick these up in the store but when I see how much they cost, I always just put them back. Perfect timing with this DIY video because I need new hair ties/scrunchies STAT! You know the monster that likes to take socks leaving you with just one sock? Well in my house there's a monster that lovvvvvvvves hair ties! LOL! Yep, I ordered 5 yards to get started on replenishing my stash. Thanks so much for this!

[@mckenziewright2866]

Thank you so much for posting this I have some tile over elastic that I didn't know what I was going to do it because I bought it for another purpose but I didn't need it for that. Now I can do something else with it.

[@pinkysistamb]

Sweet! Saving this to my playlists. Still have super shrink so my hair isn't very long for me to use hair elastics but I feel with practice I can start banding my hair. I don't get a lot of pretty color choices for Goody bands locally, so this DIY is bae! Total color freedom! If you use the craft store, you can often get it cheaper than $3 buying pairing purchase up with purchase off coupons. A C Moore, Jo Ann's, and Michael's all accept store and competitor crafting coupons straight from your cellphone. There is usually a limit of 1 coupon in a single visit. That website you found is a awesome find though.

[@WhatRissaKnows]

Love this!! Great money saver!

[@loverin23able]

Girl you are da best!!! All your tutorials have improved my naptural(lol) hair. Lovely!!!

[@MyMamasChild2]

I love this. I can't wait to try it.

[@piperanthony8803]

Wow, that was so simple! Thanks, Whitney. :)

[@SnapShot120]

I especially love how they can double as bracelets!
