Naptual85 you are seriously a blessing to KZbin. I don't know what I would do without you! 😊😊

[@kerducky]

GREAT tutorial super quick and easy! Now I'm saying "SAY WHAT!" the DIY band looks just as good as the Goody brand, really awesome! Thanks for sharing Q and Whitney! Hopefully by the time I try to make one of these hair ties I'll have a smartphone to actually share pictures with you on Instagram!

[@Naptural85]

Hey Meka Gummybearz ! That's so sweet, thank you Xo!!

[@sazanahashi735]

It has been 9 years, but I still come back to videos like this. 😂💚

[@waltbaby08]

Dude you totally ROCK! You are one of the most resourceful KZbinrs I know.

[@LeeReed1975000]

I love yellow. Glad to know someone else appreciates it.

[@Caram3l_Bombsh3ll]

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

[@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]

Aw, happy to help Jacqueline Umeh ! You're so sweet, thank you! And yes girl! Go and make some of these! They last a long time and are super gentle! Xo!

[@freshfaced625]

Thank you so much for replying. Thanks, I will make some, i'm ordering the fold over elastic online now.

[@kgaerr]

Tip: Burn the ends to stop them from fraying.

[@Naturallyorz]

I don't really wear hair ties but even I got excited watching this video. I'm all about the DIY projects and your energy making this video is awesome! Btw love the nail polish!!!

[@Naptural85]

XO! Aw, thanks Naturallyorz !! I'm happy you liked the vid! The polish is Mineral Fusion "Lagoon" Xo!!

[@Naturallyorz]

Thanx I'm definitely going to pick that up!

[@infinitelyblessed4812]

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

[@BreeDarcel]

I finally tried this! So perfect. Cost efficiency aside. It felt good to make my own 💕

[@ashleyg3648]

OMG. I had no idea you coudl make them at home!I've looked lovingly at those goody brand fabric elastics but could never justify the price tag...thank you both so much!

[@luvistruth]

Let's talk about how excited I am for this.... SUPER EXCITED!

[@ymb6987]

OMGosh!!! Whitney you are the McGyver for Naturals!!! Love this and I'm going to Etsy right now!!

[@tianac1834]

On ebay I got 20 yards for $4.00 dollars AND free shipping

[@motivibes0630]

Goodness, for me, a hair tie wearer, this video is a God send! Thank you!!!

[@wannellalawson4001]

You are so smart. This is the reason why I watch your channel.

[@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

[@niseynisey]

OMG. This entire video was SUPER CUTE.

[@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!

[@Psyducks-headache]

Thanks Whitney! Ik I'm years late but I appreciate finding this video. Got 1 yard of "elastic ribbon" for 10 cents at Walmart!

[@heysarahhayes]

This video is LIFE!!! I've been wanting to try the goody brand ribbon ties thats you've been raving about and like you said in your fav hair tools vid they go fast! 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 :)

[@Nevertoyoung20]

OMG I'm so glad to see how you made out! I didn't even think about checking online stores. I mean 1 yard for .50 cent!? Cray! I will be ordering soon! Thanks Naptural85!

[@daubing.ms.mea.]

You're a natural girl's dream!! Thx for this, can't wait to find these and go cray cray!!

[@ramsay014]

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

[@asiahabernab]

I'm definitely going to the craft store tomorrow to make these! I love the elastic headbands and can't wait to come up with my own!

[@ronniefea2899]

You simply make me smile!

[@csanders0719]

Oh and you can also make full sized headbands with them too!

[@lhatchi]

Why am I just now seeing this? This had me in awe and very excited. Can't wait to order some online.

[@trypeacealways]

Stop playing! I've spent so much money on these things. Going to make my own! Thx Whitney and to your fb follower for the idea!!

[@SnapShot120]

I especially love how they can double as bracelets!

[@ayammayaartist]

For your next diy hair accessory video can you please make a flower crown/headband? I think they are very pretty for the spring/summer and look beautiful in big natural hair!

[@dittney85]

Whitney can you PLEASE do a video on how you organize and store all of your hair tools and products? Thanks!

[@Joined4theVideos]

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

[@jaimie025]

I'm totally on this. You beat me to the punch with this DIY too because I was tired of breaking my neck to find these things in stores. Thanks for the tip to shop online too. Cheaper and sweeter. I like :)

[@al1honey]

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

[@aidam5277]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been trying to figure out how to make them for a long time and now I can make my own! I am going to make ribbon ties and head bands! ITS GOING DOWN!!!!!

[@nicolesawyer2199]

I watch your vlogs everyday! You inspire me to be creative and I love watching your adorable family! Xo

[@hooksleslie]

I ordered 14 yards of fold over elastic. Thank you for your videos and tips.

[@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.

[@sjc04d]

Your hair hacks vid sent me here. I can't believe I'm so late one this...how did I miss this one? Flew over to etsy to buy my 5yd roll 🙌🙌🙌

[@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!

[@allisonmaclagan7086]

I am so excited!!! I have a small business on Etsy! And I wanted something to add to packages and think this might be it!

[@sherwandagriffin]

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

[@Onque16]

I'm so happy that you made a video on this! I'll definitely be doing this.

[@booganell]

I just got my Etsy Elastic. I'm excited to try my diy hair ties, Thank you Whitney!

[@TheYesenia43]

Thanks i love those. They are very gentle with the hair

[@daynashallenberger6256]

Hello, I see this was a video from 7 years ago! I just found you today and learned how to make the pony tail holders for my granddaughter and friends for a unicorn birthday. Congrats on your channel!

[@CurvyChicaNY]

What a great idea, I'm buying the elastic tonight. By the way, your skin looks great.

[@ifeomagilyard7897]

YAY! I am excited I waited to purchase them. Now I can have more fabulous colors for less money! Ribbon Tie Happy Dance♡

[@Tanichea]

[@umbrella5231]

i love watching your videos whether it be your hair,vlogs, or even the style channel!!!! you have a beautiful family btw:)

[@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.

[@WealthisoftheMind]

So simple! I love easy DIYs.

[@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

[@4484wawatag]

Thank you withney and Qui Santewa for sharing !!!

[@1SilentRiver]

This is so awesome. I can't wait to try. I've been looking for an alternative to the rubber head bands that are usually available in hair stores that have caused me major hair loss and headaches due to the amount of pressure they put on the scalp. It's to the point where I never put my hair up or in pony's anymore out of fear of stressing my hair. Thanks for putting a sista on as always Whit!

[@alishataylor4142]

I missed you, this video made me smile! I'll be trying!

[@mozzh10985]

absolutely love this

[@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!

[@BelPati]

Oh, Lawd. A new obsession for myself. LOL Thanks, Naptural!!!!

[@janelawafer7605]

Oh my word!!! I am SO doing this right now!! I was looking at some crazy expensive Mane something ones and I am over that crap now! Time for some variety lol Love your videos!!

[@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!

[@Shielde0007]

[@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.

[@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😂😂✨✨

[@mynameiswhitneyw]

Amazing! I feel like these are always sold out when I need to replenish. I will definitely be doing this. Thanks!
