FAQ

  • Are these permanent tie on waistbeads? Do you offer removable strands?
    YES! All waistbeads are PERMANENT tie on waistbeads an in order to remove them you will have to cut the strand. At this time Haylo by Renae Waistbeads and More does Not offer removable waistbeads.
  • Do I have to give my measurements before ordering? And can I just give my pants size?
    Yes! Please provide your waist measurement in inches to ensure that your strand will fit comfortably to your body. Please do not give your pants size because the measurement needs to be in inches. ** Please double/ triple check to make sure your measurements are correct. When fulfilling orders, I make all waistbeads based off of the measurements that's provided. Haylo by Renae Waistbeads and More will NOT be responsible for waistbeads that does not find properly due to incorrect measurements given.

  • Can I wear my waistbeads in the shower?
    Yes! You are able to wear your waistbeads while bathing, swimming, working out, and during other normal activities. After bathing or doing water activities please make sure to wipe your waistbeads with a clean dry towel. Waistbeads can be cleaned with a gentle mild soap. **Please be mindful before using the potty to not tug on your strands to avoid possible breakage. **
  • Where should I wear/ tie on my waistbead on my body?
    Ultimately it is up to your liking, but I do suggest that clients choose to tie their strands at their Waistline, High Hip or on the Hip. Wherever makes you more comfortable then go for it! Remember, this is your journee, and you are free to do what you like!
  • Will the beads fade?
    Haylo by Renae Waistbeads and More makes every attempt to pick the highest quality beads. With day-to-day activities, lotions/ perfumes, body chemistry and other factors, over time you could possibly experience SOME fading. But we make sure to stay away from beads that we know will fade quickly to ensure longevity in the bead coatings.
  • Will my waistbeads make me lose weight?
    Waistbeads can help with aiding weight loss/ control. For many years women have used waistbeads to track their weight. But they are NOT magical strands where you will just lose weight instantly; just like with anything else you will have to hold yourself accountable and put in the work. For instance, while wearing your waistbeads if you overeat your strand will become tighter and rise up higher on your waistline which will make you feel uncomfortable. That is an indicator to let you know you are becoming full. And when you start losing weight you will notice your waistbeads will start dropping lower than where you originally tied them on. So, I guess you can kind of think of your strand as your own little personal accountability coach!
  • Can I return my waistbeads?
    ALL SALES ARE FINAL! Before placing your order please make sure that all measurements are correct and that the item that you are choosing is also correct. ALL SALES ARE FINAL!

  • What are waistbeads for and why do people wear them?
    Waistbeads date back to Egypt and were made popular in West Africa by the Yoruban Tribe of Nigeria an also the women of Ghana. They were worn to symbolize many different things depending on a persons culture, personal beliefs and their lifestyle. In some cultures waistbeads represent royalty and social standing because of the price and quality of the beads. Women of royalty usually wear more expensive and rare beads to distinguish themselves from others. Women of Ghana use their waistbeads to shape their waist. It is believed that wearing multiple waistbeads over time will help to keep the waist small and help accentuate the hips. Waistbeads can be worn for posture, beauty, weight tracking, spiritual protection, adornment, wealth, healing and growth journeys, maturity, the beginning of womanhood, femininity, spirituality an also fashion statement pieces. Many people will ask questions "Why do people wear waistbeads?" "What are waistbeads for?" Although there is no right or wrong answer, I follow up that question with "Why do you want to wear waistbeads?" To me wearing waistbeads is dependent on one's journey/ path. It is a personal experience. I have tied clients and they instantly say how their waistbead make them feel more sexy or helps them to bring out their feminine side. I myself wear waistbeads because I am on a healing/ self discovery journey and I must admit they make me feel beautiful! *****WOMEN OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES CAN WEAR HAYLO BY RENAE WAISTBEADS**** Remember this is a personal Journey and no one can tell you how to experience it.
