Clean & Conscious Awards 2022 - Finalist
Bicycle inner tubes are estimated to contribute to landfill at the rate of one rhino per day in Australia. Similarly hair ties are on average being lost in the quantity of one bus load daily.
Here at Eco Ocean Haircare, we're tackling this issue by crafting eco hair ties - perfect for your pre & post-beach hair. Made from upcycled rubber, coconut oil, and eucalyptus, our award-winning hair ties provide a strong grip without pulling or damaging your wet strands, making them ideal for beach days. Even during extreme sports, they won’t let you down, lasting 10x longer than regular hair ties.
Our classic black hair ties have been extensively tested, and are lovingly made in Australia to ensure we're creating only the best products for you, your hair and our Planet.
For every purchase you're directly diverting waste away from Australian landfills, and supporting our circular economy business model.

Our eco hair ties are made from up-cycled bicycle inner tubes, that are then put through a lengthy process to ensure they are fit for your hair. Part of this process includes cleaning, and curing the hair ties using all nature ingredients think coconut oil and eucalyptus to make sure they are soft and supple- ready for your hair
If you have fine/frizzy/curly hair check out our soft cotton hair scrunchies- they may be a better solution for you. Nestled inside is our large eco hair tie wrapped around super soft 100% cotton derived from -shirt dead stock
Otherwise, if you are looking to replace your current hair ties and upgrade to something eco, sustainable, plastic-free we offer a snag free guarantee. If you do experience any snagging we will offer you a refund
We love this question! And that is exactly why with each order you get a handwritten note that tells you how many inner tubes were rescued from landfill that month. We try and update this on our socials but the best way to get the exact number is by making an order with us
For every inner tube that does not go to landfill, you have directly impacted our environment in a positive way to ensure that no chemicals or toxins are going into our environment and therefore continuing to protect mother nature
The definition of biodegradable; something that can decompose or break down naturally by microbial action, a perfect example is vegetable scraps
Whilst we're not selling veggie scraps, this word is being corrupted by green washing and it's hard to know if any man-made product will every truly break down. Even manufactured rubber and cotton. We're not into green washing so our answer reverts back to 'prevention is better than a cure' and stacked up against creating new materials or working with what we already have around us, we've chosen to make ourselves at home with up-cycling and designing products that are less likely to fall out of your hair
