Forgot a hair tie and couldn’t find a rubber band.. Thought I’d give this a try and it’s a game changer. It held up as well as a rubber band would’ve and didn’t rip half of my hair out at the end of my shift!

    OR.. you could’ve just gotten a fucking haircut.

    I actually had a nurse show that to me to keep my hair out of my face after an ex roomate assaulted me with pepper spray. Definitely saved me a few times.

    I have silicone elastics and I love them. They last for ages too!

    I’m in a nursing home kitchen and have found that the little elastic loops off the sides of a face mask make a good hair tie in a pinch.

    It’s what plenty of biology people who work in labs do

    Yes, I do this whenever I’m in a pinch! Unless we have asparagus around

    You really shouldn’t use rubber bands as hair ties asti all tbh.

    A claw clip is next level though.

    So i’m not the only one. I’ve worked in food service for the past 16 years. I’ve never seen anybody else do this.
