Sound familiar?
If you wear your hair up daily, you may notice:
A crease that won't drop
Hair pulling as you take it out
Re-tying it two or three times a day
Most of that comes down to one thing. Hold sitting at a single point.
The SmartCore difference
An alternative to elastic based hair ties, a different kind of hold.
-
TRADITIONAL ELASTIC HAIR TIE
✕ Firm, fixed hold
✕ Holds hair in one place, where tension can build
✕ Can feel tight depending on use
✕ May leave a visible crease
✕ Often removed by pulling
-
BUNLUV SMARTCORE SPIRAL SCRUNCHIE
✓ Softer, flexible hold
✓ Designed for a more even feel
✓ Designed for everyday comfort
✓ A softer finish on the hair
✓ Slides out more easily
It's not obvious on the outside. It's what's inside that feels different.
A traditional elastic hair tie holds your hair in one fixed position and relies on tension to hold the hair in place. SmartCore combines a spiral inner structure with a fabric outer layer, so there's less direct contact with your hair, and a more flexible hold.

From our founder
A brand build on real life

Good questions
Questions worth asking about your hair tie.
About SmartCore Scrunchies
SmartCore spiral scrunchies take a different approach to everyday hair styling. Built with a structured inner spiral and wrapped in soft fabric, you can wear them from your morning routine to sleep.
Everyday Styling
You probably tie your hair up, take it down, and restyle it more than once a day. SmartCore is made for that, whether you're heading to work, school, the gym, or just moving through your day.
Hair Types
- fine or straight hair
- thick or longer hair
- curly and coily textures
- children over 3 years and teens
Not suitable for children under 3 years. Contains small parts that may present a choking hazard.
Designed in Australia
We're an Australian brand, and we design hair accessories that feel easy to wear and fit naturally into your everyday life. Each piece balances function, simplicity, and considered detail.
How SmartCore Spiral Scrunchies are designed
We built SmartCore for everyday wear, with a spiral inner structure that gives you an alternative to traditional elastic hair ties. The spiral moves with your hair as you wear it, while the outer fabric wraps around the core rather than directly around your hair. Lightweight and comfortable, you can wear it whether your hair's up for an hour or all day.
Why spiral scrunchies feel different to elastics
Traditional elastic hair ties rely on tension to gather hair. SmartCore spiral scrunchies are designed differently, featuring a spiral inner structure rather than a single elastic loop.
The spiral shape creates a different structure compared to traditional elastics. This design makes SmartCore scrunchies a considered option for everyday routines where hair may be worn up and down throughout the day.
SmartCore scrunchies for different hair types
We make SmartCore in a range of fabrics and finishes, so you can find one suited to your texture and routine:
- curly, coily and wavy hair
- straight and fine hair
- thick, long or full hair
- children and teens.
Worn by men, women, and families across Australia, however you wear your hair, there's likely a SmartCore for it.
Everyday wear, sleep and active routines
SmartCore is made to fit into your real life, from busy mornings to slower evenings. You can wear it for:
- daily wear
- school hairstyles
- gym, running and low-impact movement
- sleeping or lounging
Made to be worn, lived in, and loved, without overthinking it.
What are spiral hair ties also called?
You might know them as coil hair ties, phone cord hair ties, or hair coils. At BUNLUV, we build this spiral structure into a scrunchie, so you get a softer, more flexible way to hold your hair.
What is the difference between a spiral hair tie and a regular hair tie?
A traditional hair tie is usually elastic and holds your hair in a fixed position. A spiral or coil-style tie uses a curved structure that can distribute tension differently along your hair. We combine that spiral with fabric, so you get a more considered, flexible hold.
Are coil or spiral hair ties better for your hair?
It depends on you and your routine. Some people choose spiral or coil ties because they're designed to avoid tightly gripping one section of hair. We built SmartCore as that kind of alternative, for a softer, more flexible way to wear your hair.
Do spiral hair ties leave a crease in the hair?
Creasing can depend on how tightly you tie your hair, your hair type, and how long you wear it. Some people find spiral or coil-style ties reduce the appearance of a crease compared to tighter elastics, but results can vary.
What are phone cord hair ties?
Phone cord hair ties are another name for spiral or coil hair ties, named for their resemblance to old telephone cords. People often use them for ponytails, buns, or casual styles.
Are spiral hair ties suitable for wet or delicate hair?
Your hair can feel more delicate when it's wet or after something like swimming. Some people reach for spiral or fabric-covered ties during these moments, as part of a gentler routine. We designed SmartCore with this in mind too. In fact, this is where the idea of the smartcore scrunchie began. Read our founder story here.
Can I wear spiral hair ties every day?
Yes. Hair ties are part of most people's daily routine, whether for work, movement, or rest, and SmartCore is designed for exactly that, with comfort and flexibility in mind.
What are hair bobbles? Are they the same thing?
"Hair bobbles" is a general term used in Australia and the UK for many kinds of hair ties, including elastics, scrunchies, and sometimes spiral or coil styles. What it means can vary depending on where you hear it.
Where they fit into your routine
- everyday wear
- school and work styling
- low-impact movement to running
- sleep or rest
- travel and on-the-go
