No, not that kind of hair!
My wife has long hair and got tired of threading it through typical hair rubber bands so she came up with the idea of beaded hair ties. They work like a ball bungee you use for securing tarps. I helped figure out how to make them and they worked so well she decided to try offering some on etsy.

Hopefully by selling these can offset her "hair toy" spending. At least she can't complain about my car spending anymore.
Nice. I'll have to point these out to the wife.
I swear I'd seen something like this when I was a kid. I used them as elastic weapons in the toy world

In reply to GameboyRMH:
Yeah, I think there is something similar that's manufactured commercially, but they have a metal crimp in the middle that snags and pulls hair. (My hair is 1/2" long so I have not experienced this myself)
Ah yes you're right. Good point.

my hair (when I had lots of it still) came down to mid-back. Yes, the metal crimps on a hairband will rip out your hair
