1-Up One-Handed Hair Ties – 3 Pack

Description

The 1-Up One-Handed Hair Ties – 3 Pack are designed to help children and adults style their hair more independently when using a standard hair elastic is difficult. They can be used with one hand, reduced hand function, a limb difference or other upper-limb mobility limitations.

Each hair tie combines a long elastic band with an adjustable toggle, making it easier to create ponytails, buns and pigtails without needing the same two-handed grip and dexterity required by a conventional hair band.

The flexible design can be used in different ways depending on the individual's movement and ability. It may be operated with one hand, two hands, a residual limb or, for some users, the feet, helping make everyday hair care more accessible and supporting greater independence at home, school, work or when out and about.

Key Features

  • Designed to make hair tying easier with one hand or reduced hand function.
  • Supports greater independence with everyday hair care.
  • Suitable for creating ponytails, buns and pigtails.
  • Long elastic design with an adjustable toggle.
  • Can accommodate different methods of use and levels of upper-limb function.
  • May be used with one hand, two hands, a residual limb or feet depending on the user's ability.
  • Suitable for children and adults.
  • Supplied as a pack of three.

How It Works

The elastic is positioned around the hair before the adjustable toggle is pulled to create a secure fit. The remaining elastic can then be wrapped around the ponytail or hairstyle as required.

Different techniques can be used depending on the user's range of movement, grip and preferred method, allowing the hair tie to be adapted to individual ability rather than requiring one fixed technique.

Before Purchasing

The 1-Up Hair Tie requires some movement and reach to position and tighten it. Before purchasing, it is helpful to consider whether the intended user can:

  • Position something around the head in a similar way to putting on a headband.
  • Pull the elastic or toggle firmly enough to secure the hair.
  • Reach the top or back of the head sufficiently to guide the hair and elastic.
