Product Insights
The Grooved Elastics Set Of 4 from Simons offers a grooved texture that grips fine, silky hair without tight tension or dents, and rotating among the four elastics extends their lifespan by enabling recovery between uses. However, at $2.25 per elastic ($9 for the set), it costs 50% more than L. Erickson's and is designed as a travel or accent set, not a daily workhorse, and it is not heat-resistant.

Deep Research
How grooved elastics improve grip and hold
- For fine or ultra-silky hair that slips out of smooth elastics, the grooved surface creates additional friction points against the hair shaft, providing a secure grip without the need for heavy tension that can cause dents.
Elastic durability and stretch recovery
- Rotating through the four elastics instead of wearing the same one repeatedly allows each band to recover its original shape between uses, a practice that prevents permanent stretching and significantly extends the usable lifespan of hair ties — a durability edge built into this multi-pack format.
Price positioning and value versus other sets
- The set’s four-piece count is atypical for utility elastics — most budget and workhorse packs ship 20, 30, or even 48 units — and instead follows a boutique accessory format where the purchase is meant to feel like a small fashion edit. For a buyer who goes through hair ties weekly, this pack size turns the elastic into a styled accent piece, not a household staple, and makes more sense as an impulse add-on than a bulk replacement.
- Simons’ hair accessory line routinely anchors its own-brand elastics and hair ties at $9 CAD — the grooved elastics share this shelf price with the pearl hair tie and numerous other sets, signaling a curated, entry-level fashion tier rather than a price that scales with manufacturing cost. A buyer choosing this set is therefore buying into a consistent boutique aesthetic at a predictable spend, not hunting for the lowest cost per elastic.
- At $9 CAD for four elastics, the per-piece price lands at $2.25 CAD — higher than the $1.50 USD each that L. Erickson’s Grab & Go ponytail holders command, even though the L. Erickson set consistently earns expert praise for its damage-free hold and extended durability. For a commodity house-brand elastic without an equivalent performance reputation, this price places the Simon's set in a premium pocket, where the purchase is driven more by in-store convenience and aesthetics than by cost per wear.

Q&A
1 answered- Are these elastics heat-resistant? Can they be used with blow-dryers or curling irons?
- These elastics are not labeled as heat-resistant. As with most elastic hair ties, we recommend avoiding direct exposure to high heat from blow-dryers or curling irons to prevent damage.
