Hair Bobbles With No Kinks? - Invisibobble Review

Anyone will understand the pain of wanting to scoop your hair back in a bobble, to keep it out of your face, but not wanting to develop the dreadful "kink" which appears every time you remove a hair bobble. Although I think that the never-ending war of bobbles and kinky hair has now been won. Introduuuuuucing (I can't help but think of a WWE-esque narrator now) Invisibobble...

Invisibobble Traceless Hair Ring - no kink hair bobbleMy Aunty has already pinched one out of the box, and that's why there is only two pictured! Naughty...

The idea of Invisibobble, is that they are a "traceless hair ring" which means that they will not leave a mark in your hair, they also are caring to the hair, and helps to avoid headaches (I've never found this with any bobbles, do they seriously cause headache?!)

So, does the Invisibobble live up to its claims?

Traceless? Yes, it is completely traceless, I have tried it in both my naturally curly hair, and my blow-dried straight hair. Both times it had no kinks, and my Aunty with thinner hair than me, also tried it and was left with no kinks. Whether it refers to it being IN your hair, I don't know, but it isn't very attractive, but in my eyes, neither is a regular bobble.

Caring to the hair? This works because there is no metal, and the ends are sealed together so that it won't snag your hair. It is tons better than even the metal free bands I've used in the past, which still pull out strands of my hair. When I take one of these out, it slides out with ease and pulls zero hairs out with it.

Avoids headaches? I can't put this one to the test, as I only get headaches from reading without my glasses, and I never have a bobble so tight that it would cause headache. But I can imagine how this would avoid headache, as the weight being evenly distributed  means your hair feels a lot less restricted and a lot less "slicked-back."

I now sleep in these, by putting my hair on the very top of my head and sleeping like this means I don't lie on my hair giving it awkward kinks, neither do I have bobble kinks. Win, win...

Which is fair enough if you're 12, but in all honesty, I'm turning 19 very soon, I shouldn't be wearing a telephone cord shaped bobble on my wrist.

Being as partial as I am for a ponytail at the top of my head at the end of the day, these are an absolute saviour, and are one of the best bobbles I have tried, have zero gimmicks and fully live up to the claims Invisiboble makes.

Invisibobble is available from Feelunique, and is £3.75 for three hair rings. Find here.

  4. Oh wow- this could actually be a LIFECHANGER!!! My hair is straight and gets the dreaded "bobble bump" after just a few minutes...I'm so excited to give these a go (even if it's only for in the house- they are a little odd looking!)xx

    1. I only wear them in the house too, but I always have my hair down outside anyway! Give them a go, promise you'll love them :) xx

  5. I've tried these before! Except for me, they don't have a tight enough grip so when doing sports, it tends to slip out! :/

    1. Oh well that isn't good at all! Maybe it's because my hair is thick? I don't know. But they work so well for me! x

  6. I had some exactly like these but always thought they were bracelets! I wished I'd have known what they were really for! But at least I do now thanks to you :-)

  7. This looks like a great product! I hate when regular hair bands make that strange dent in my hair. Does this stay put for the most part?

    1. It does indeed! I sleep in them, they usually make my ponytail sag, quite a lot, but they always wake up still in my head. Haha. X

  8. Wow, this looks like such an interesting product! I don't know if I could bring myself to buy one since I'm forever losing hairties though, haha :)

    1. Me too but It kinda encourages me to be more careful with them! X

  9. It's the first time I've ever heard of these, but what a great idea! I hate getting kinks in my hair, especially overnight when I too like to tie it up. If I only tie it loosely I find the band is nowhere to be seen come morning, so these look like they could be a great option for me!

  10. Ooooooh what a very tempting purchase!! These look really great. Hopefully if I buy some I won't lose them like I usually do with hair ties!!
