SasSea Wraps Rethinks the Hair Tie for Life in Motion

For people with long hair, staying active can create an unexpected challenge. Swimming, scuba diving, surfing, skiing, running, working out, or simply spending a windy day outdoors can leave long hair tangled, matted, difficult to manage and vulnerable to breakage. Traditional elastics may secure a ponytail at one point, but they do little to control the length of the hair. Braiding can help, but it takes time and can still leave wet hair tangled and difficult to manage afterward.

SasSea Wraps were created to solve that problem differently.

Their Slip Proof Grip design uses an engineered dual cord bungee system that wraps down the length of a ponytail, helping keep long hair contained and controlled while reducing pulling, tangles, breakage and damage associated with conventional hair fastening methods.

Built for water, wind, sport, travel and everyday life, SasSea Wraps give people with long hair a purpose built solution for keeping their hair secure, controlled and protected through movement and changing conditions.

Designed For Hair That Moves

Long hair can become difficult to manage in water, wind, sweat and repeated movement. SasSea Wraps address the problem with a dual cord bungee system that spirals down the ponytail, helping keep the full length controlled.

Slip Proof Grip technology helps the wrap stay securely in place while moving with the hair, providing lengthwise control without the time and effort of braiding.

A Different Approach To The Dry To Wet Transition

One of the most difficult challenges for long hair is the transition from dry to wet, and back again.

Wet hair is more vulnerable to stretching and breakage, while saltwater, chlorine, wind and movement can compound tangling and matting. Traditional elastics secure only one section of the hair, while braids can tighten and become difficult to unravel after prolonged exposure to water.

SasSea Wraps were engineered specifically with changing conditions in mind.

The flexible dual cord construction wraps around the ponytail to help keep strands together and reduce the uncontrolled movement that contributes to tangling and matting. The materials are water and UV resistant and designed for repeated wet to dry to wet use.

Instead of designing a hair accessory around how hair looks before an activity begins, SasSea Wraps were developed around what actually happens to long hair during the activity, and afterward.

From A Scuba Diving Problem To A Patent Pending Invention

Founder and inventor Patty Baiano, a longtime scuba diver and PADI Divemaster, experienced firsthand the severe tangling long hair can face underwater. She developed the dual cord system behind SasSea Wraps through years of testing and refinement, later pursuing patent protection and working with sustainable manufacturers.

Today, SasSea Wraps Slip Proof Grip Spiral Hair Ties offer a purpose built solution for managing long hair during active lifestyles.

Built For Far More Than The Water

Scuba diving inspired SasSea Wraps, but the same challenge exists in swimming, surfing, skiing, running, workouts, travel and other active pursuits. The brand gives women a practical way to keep long hair controlled without repeatedly tightening an elastic or spending time braiding.

The result is a hair accessory designed to adapt to an active lifestyle rather than requiring women to adapt their lifestyle around their hair.

Performance Without Giving Up Personal Style

SasSea Wraps come in Medium, Long and XL sizes, with multiple colors and limited edition Multi Twists. Each wrap is handmade in small batches using eco certified materials and sustainable manufacturing partners.

Water and UV resistant construction supports repeated use, while the spiral design provides lengthwise control with a distinctive, fashion forward look.

A Faster, More Accessible Alternative To Braiding

For generations, braiding has been one of the default solutions for controlling long hair during sports and water activities.

It works, but it takes time, requires the skill and dexterity to braid long hair effectively and can still leave wet hair tangled afterward. For children, people who never learned to braid, and those with limited hand mobility or dexterity, braiding their own hair may be difficult or simply not practical.

SasSea Wraps provide a simpler alternative.

Once the wrapping technique is learned, the spiral design allows users to secure the length of a ponytail quickly without the weaving, finger coordination or technique required to create a braid. The hair remains visible between the spiral wraps while the dual cords help keep the ponytail together and controlled.

That simplicity makes SasSea Wraps useful well beyond sports and water activities. They offer people with long hair a practical way to manage it themselves, whether they're getting ready for school, work, a workout, travel or an outdoor adventure.

Recognition For Active Hair Care

SasSea Wraps was awarded “Best Hair Ties for Long Hair in the USA of 2026” by BestofBestReview.com. The award recognizes the product’s focus on secure hair control for long hair, including its Slip Proof Grip™ design, wet to dry adaptability, water and UV resistant materials, range of sizes, handmade construction and suitability for active lifestyles.

The 2026 recognition follows the brand’s 2025 award, “Best Hair Ties for Athletes and Adventurers in the USA of 2025,” reflecting continued recognition of SasSea Wraps as an innovative hair control solution for long hair and active lifestyles.

A Product Shaped By An Active Community

The problem that inspired SasSea Wraps resonates with divers, swimmers, surfers, athletes, and people with long hair who struggle with tangling, breakage, braiding and constant readjustment.

For many customers, finally finding a solution designed around those frustrations has prompted the same feedback repeatedly: “game changing.” That response has helped shape the company's growth from a direct to consumer ecommerce business into a brand expanding into specialty retail and wholesale.

The Vision Behind SasSea Wraps

At the center of SasSea Wraps is a larger idea than simply keeping a ponytail neat.

For generations, women with long hair have been expected to adapt to hair control solutions that were never designed for the way they actually live. For active women, that can mean accepting tangles and damage, spending significant time braiding and detangling, or even questioning whether keeping very long hair is practical.

SasSea Wraps believes long hair should never become a barrier to participating fully in an active life.

The company's mission is to give women real, functional hair control that supports freedom of movement, from scuba diving and competitive sports to Pilates, travel and everyday adventure.

It is a simple idea with a meaningful result: hair should not determine what a woman feels free to do.

Rethinking An Everyday Essential

Hair ties are familiar products, which can make innovation in the category easy to overlook. The conventional hair elastic has changed so little that it is easy to assume there is little left to reinvent.

But most traditional hair ties solve only one part of the problem: holding hair together at a single point.

SasSea Wraps approaches hair control as a system.

Its dual cord construction, Slip Proof Grip technology, spiral wrapping method, water and UV resistant materials and lengthwise control address what happens to the entire ponytail, not simply what happens at its base.

That distinction is what transformed a frustrating day of scuba diving into an invention and ultimately into a growing women owned business.

A Hair Tie Designed To Keep Up

SasSea Wraps began with one woman's refusal to accept that severe tangling was simply the price of having long hair and living an active life.

That frustration became a sketch. The sketch became prototypes. The prototypes became an invention. And that invention became SasSea Wraps.

Today, SasSea Wraps Slip Proof Grip Spiral Hair Ties are designed for women whose lives move through water, wind, workouts, travel and everyday adventure, and who want their long hair to come along for all of it.
