The Invisibobble phenomenon is the most random thing; who would’ve thought that little, plastic rings that look a bit like a slinky with it’s ends tied, would’ve become such a hugely popular and successful brand? Honestly, whenever I get an Invisibobble delivery I’m as excited as I am when something in a Clinique envelope lands on my doorstep, which is so strange and I really can’t explain it! When they first launched they were basic, kind of traditionally coloured – the sort of shades you’d expect from such a product – and they were very functional. ย Now there are dinky ones for styling, bigger ones for fuller hair and glorious colour collections that make me “ooo” and “ahhh” in the same way I do with any other exciting colour collection. ย There is just something about the Invisibobble.
I’m sure you’re familiar with Invisibobbles, but just in case you’re not, they are hairbands that are a lot more gentle on your hair, so are less likely to leave dents and marks and they were inspired by an experiment with a phone cord. ย I find these a lot more gentle on hair than traditional hairbands, yet they’re also a lot more effective and less likely to slide out – when I wear one to bed, it’ll be in pretty much the same place the next morning, whereas normal hairbands tend to make a break for it overnight. ย The final thing I like so much about them is that they’re pretty comfortable to wear on your wrist too, even though that can stretch them out a bit, although apparently dropping them in a cup of hot water returns them to their original state.
The latest collection is the Invisibobble Secret Garden Collection, which is a very pretty, typically Spring-like selection of pastel colours; there’s Lucky Fountain – a very pretty blue with a hint of lilac; Sweet Clementine – a juicy orange; Forbidden Fruit – a pale green that takes colour from apple and mint and finally Cherry Blossom – a typically pastel pink that’s really rather lovely. ย I honestly like them all and I love the fact that they now do so many colours as it means you can really have a play with them, making them part of your style rather than something that just keeps hair in place; plus, the coloured ones look great on your wrist too! I can’t seem to find the Secret Garden Collection anywhere online, but they’re stocked in Topshop, Urban Outfitters and Boots with prices starting at around ยฃ4 for a single colour box of three.

Is it amazing that something like a phone cord, who most of us don’t have anymore, could have inspired a new hair trend! I wonder what else those of us who don’t think out of the box very well are overlooking!
I just think these are amazing how they dont even dent the hair they are perfect for when youre doing makeup and just want hair out of your face
