Sometimes, when we have hair elastics tied in our hair, they can be super difficult to get out.


Pulling on the hair elastics can both hurt your roots and maybe even cause some of your hair to come out.


So what are we to do? Here, I have an alternative method to show you how to remove hair elastics. Let’s jump in!

Tools and materials:

  • Hair elastics
  • Curling iron
  • Hairbrush
Holding curling iron on elastic

1. Put curling iron on elastic

Wait for your curling iron to heat up, and then place it on top of the hair elastic for a quick moment.


This will cause the hair elastic to melt and go soft, and this will make it easy to pull out of your hair.

2. Continue

Do this on all of the hair elastics.

Brushing hair

3. Brush out hair

Continue to brush out your hair to remove the bumps that were formed by the hair elastics.
