Scrunchies and leather ponytail wraps from $12 to $188, from silk skinny ties to hand-made lambskin.
Scrunchies and Ponytail Wraps, Sorted by Price
The easiest ponytail upgrade
A scrunchie is the cheapest way to change a ponytail, but the range is wider than most people realize. This edit sorts hair ties from Slip, Emi Jay, Lele Sadoughi and Jennifer Behr by price, from $12 silk to $188 leather. Prices are from each brand's listing on November 3, 2026.
Under $20
The Slip Skinny Scrunchie at $12, in pink or black, is made with slipsilk, the same silk as the brand's pillowcase, and is designed to be anti-crease and anti-breakage. Emi Jay's Cozy Scrunchie at $16 is a 4 inch knit in Heather Cloud, Oat Latte, Cookie Crumbs and Dream Cloud, made of acrylic, nylon and polyester. The skinny silk is for the day you want your hair held and nothing else, and the knit is for sweater season.
$25 to $40
Lele Sadoughi's Ivory Lace at $28 is an oversized eyelet-lace scrunchie that works on a wrist, a top knot or a ponytail, and her Jet Cindy at $38 is oversized chiffon. Her Smokey Amber Square Jacquard at $38 is the one to pick for a warmer, more textured look. Emi Jay's Sweet Dreams Silk at $32 is 100% silk charmeuse, 4 inches across, handmade in Los Angeles, and meant for sleeping. If I had to pick one, it would be the silk, because it works at night and in the morning.
$140 and up
Jennifer Behr's Mini Leather Ponywrap at $142 is made by hand in New York from lambskin, with a bendable wire interior that curves around a ponytail of any thickness and a Japanese elastic. The Embossed Leather Ponywrap at $188 is crocodile-embossed lambskin lined in suede, a silhouette from the brand's earliest days. It is a hair accessory that looks like jewelry.
What I would keep in the drawer
Keep a $12 silk one by your bed and a lace or chiffon one in your bag. The ponywrap is the one to buy when you want a sleek low ponytail to look finished.
