Our Twist Headbands are made of super soft organic biodegradable cotton, (plus a little bit of spandex) so they're gentle on your hair and can be worn a bunch of different ways: Go with the twist in front for a cute knot headband, or twist in back for a wide headband, around your neck like a bandana or scarf, or even as a mask when out and about! They are crazy soft and crazy durable - and made in the most eco-friendly and ethical way possible, given the fabrics that exist. While they're not entirely biodegradable due to the 5% spandex they need for stretch, they are likely the most responsibly made headbands on the market.

Eco-friendly & Sustainably made
full of good juju

Made from certified sustainably sourced organic cotton, our Twist Headbands are produced at a Fairtrade certified social good facility in southern India where profits are used to fund important health-focused causes. Making products that are kind to the earth and leave farmers, sewers and customers feeling KOOSHOO is the heart of what we do. DOING GOOD.

Quality: soft-feeling, hard working

Our Twist Headbands are made of durable, yet soft organic biodegradable cotton, so they're gentle on your hair, AND gentle on the planet. Stretch them, wash them, wear them over and over - these headliners are high quality and durable. Of course, they will wear down over time (as will any plant-based product), so treat them with care to maximise their life above the soil. BEING GOOD.

High style & shades for days

Our Twist Headbands can be worn a bunch of different ways: Go with the twist in front for a cute knot headband, or twist in back for a wide headband. Or because we're all about options, wear them as a bandana, bandeau, looped twice as a hair tie, or even a mask! Our Twist Headband comes in different colours to wow with your workout gear, coordinate with your cutest outfit, complement your complexion or match your mood. LOOKING GOOD.

High performance

Unlike their plastic counterparts, these Headbands are breathable, sweat-wicking, and carefully designed to perform when you need them most: running, yoga, washing the day off your face, taming uncooperative strays, hiding unwelcome greys, looking good, feeling good. These hold tight and won't slip. Keep your hair out of your eyes but your head in the game! FEELING GOOD.

Material:

• Plant-based
• Made from 95% biodegradable materials
• Certified sustainably sourced organic cotton
• A little bit of spandex for stretch and head-hugging comfort

Made in a Fairtrade Certified facility in India.

All products are dyed using low impact dyes, a non toxic fabric dye that has been certified as eco-friendly by Oeko-Tex with their Standard 100 label. Oeko-Tex is an international trademark with stringent standards for product safety and sustainability, so you can be sure any dyes with the Standard 100 label are completely devoid of harmful substances.

Care:

Biodegradable materials are, by nature, capable of being broken down and returned to the soil - eventually. KOOSHOO products are created in a way that makes them durable, strong and high performance, but they're still plant-based materials, which means they will wear down (just as intended) - but proper care can extend their life. To maximise longevity, avoid storing them in direct sunlight, stretching them while wet, or letting oils and hair products linger on them.

Wash your KOOSHOO hair accessories with like colours in cold water and lay flat to dry. Good as new.

About the Company

KOOSHOO was born from the philosophy that business is a powerful way to share our message. From the beginning, as 26-year-olds contemplating the future and how we could make the most positive impact in our lifetimes, we decided that creating a business would have furthest reach and produce greater results than any of us could as individuals. The dream was to create a purpose-led brand that would produce something with the intent to change how things are done moving forward - to embody a cultural shift in sustainable living.

How it started

We set out to make one small change that would have a big impact

A wrong turn in Borneo led us to a man who happened to own the first recycling plant in the area - an area so destroyed by the industry that existed only to produce goods for Western consumption. This was the first of many moments that lit our path. We learned more about conscious consumerism, zero waste and plastic-free movements. We did a deep dive into supply chains, organic natural materials, fair wages and ethical treatment. We set out on a path to create a sustainable product that fills a need and empowers our customers - without adding to the load that is weighing down our planet. We set out to make one small change that would have a big impact. And KOOSHOO was born.

We are accountable for the life cycle of our products from start to finish – from the earth and back to the earth. Our consumption as a species has an impact, both positive and negative.We want to be part of the change. We are here to embody a cultural shift in sustainable living - making better things in a better way.

This means sourcing natural materials that are renewable, organic, plant-based and plastic-free, and then following their journey through every stage – from harvesting to manufacturing to shipping and natural disposal. At each step along the way, we focus on ethical treatment, fair wages and sustainable practices that empower both the creator and the consumer, while being gentle on the earth.

Inspiration

We started KOOSHOO as one small change that could make a big difference. We want to live more than a better life, we want to truly do good. Part of this greater mission is to leave this beautiful planet and its beings in better shape than we found it. To be fully transparent and respectful of our impact on the environment, on communities and on individuals. Each day we work together to create a lifestyle that feels balanced, joyful, inspired, and grateful.

This is about so much more than hair accessories. We are creating better products in a better way, while bringing meaning and connection to the world. Products that will last – but not in a landfill. Hair. Care.

"When you choose KOOSHOO hair accessories you are choosing organic, biodegradable and responsibly created products that are stylish, last longer and don't damage your hair. It's quality, style and performance without the ethical compromise. That's a choice that feels good."

Meaning

Kooshoo means feeling good

Our current "home base" (headquarters) is Norfolk Island in the South Pacific, where Rachel grew up, and where her family has been for seven generations. Remote and very tiny at only 3x5 miles, the subtropical climate is made for self-reliance and the interdependence with nature - and depends on its population living a sustainable life. Norfolk Islanders feel a deep sense of pride and a responsibility to take care of their home. They speak a unique and special blend of 18th Century English and Tahitian. In the beautiful language of Norfuk, "KOOSHOO" means "feeling good".

Our vision

We are part of a greater movement

We believe that responsible companies operate in a way that is accountable to both people and planet. When consumers support these businesses, they help create a movement that spurs other brands to adopt the same commitment to accountability along the supply chain. At KOOSHOO, conscious manufacturing and fair trade labour go hand-in-hand. It's not enough for companies to use clean ingredients but then opt for the cheapest labour available. Consumers can push back with their voices and choices - and only support brands whose ethics line up with theirs. Voting with your dollars for the future you wish to see will resonate and will create change on a greater scale.
