So I got these new hair ties, my co-worker was mentioning how she saw them being used by professional hair stylists. They essentially look like the bungee cords my mom used to put over our garbage can lids in order to keep the raccoons from getting into them and making a mess. They actually keep my hair up, although in order to do a bun, I still have to put my hair up in a pony tail and then put these hook hair ties in. It keeps my hair up pretty tightly, which is more than amazing since I have so much hair, ordinary hair ties just don't cut it. Takes a little bit of getting used to though, I still suck at wrapping them around without getting one hook getting caught randomly in my hair.. but they are great for messy buns and pony tails.
