Hair Ties? Pony Tail Holders? What Are Those Hair Thingys Actually Called?? || 2021 Keke Mae ||

You'Re at work, your hair is driving. You absolutely crazy. You usually have one of these on your wrist, but today you forgot to put one on. You need to need to put your hair up. You look over and you ask your co-worker hey. Can i borrow your this? What do you call this? What'S up guys so recently, i did a video all about these slipped, skinny scrunchy daily boppers, and it got me wondering what are these actually called. So i started doing some research and i found that there are a lot of different names for what these are and a lot of them are kind of weird binder. Bobble chongo liga do doggy elastic band, go, go hair band, hair, binder hair deals, hair elastic bands, ding dong, hair elastic band; woogie, ribbon, hair knickknacks hair tie hair up rubber band scrunchy twisty x-twist whiz, tinker hair thing, nubby, doo, uh, bobbin, hair holder, ponytail, holder, hair Locky and do fletchy what like some of these sound like they could be like pokemon names, and obviously some of these names are different. So like a scrunchie is going to be like this as opposed to this and like a rubber band is like this and not this a do, flashy a woogie! Why all right? So, let's start with a really kind of brief history of these bad boys. These bad boys have only been around since the late 1950s um before that way way back in time, um, 15. 16. 17. 1800'S. They used pretty ribbons like this or leather straps or basically anything they could get their hands on to keep their hair out of their faces and out of their eyes, potentially to help them think better. Who worked for her in the movie right. So then we jump way way forward in hot time to the 1800s when rubber is invented, and we see it start seeing things like rubber bands um that work very, very well as a hair tie downside of these boys. Oh, why did i do that? They pull your hair out, so we see in 1958, we see the patent for the first hair elastic, which is similar to the ones we see today. It was called the elastic loop fastener. It wasn't listed on my wikipedia list of names that i found and these bad boys were way way way easier and friendly to your hair than these guys or these guys, but that doesn't answer my question. My question was: what are these actually called? So i did just a really quick impromptu poll on my instagram and here's. What i found out most people are calling them. Buzzfeed also did a poll where it looks like 50 or 95.5 000 people said that it's called a hair tie 14 or 26 000 people said ponytail holder and 11 20.9 000 people said hair band there's also quite a few people who said elastic, hair, bobble, other Rubber band scrunchy, hair, binder air hair bow bobbin or gogo, but even gogo only has 431 votes, so those ones are very, very rare, but most people are calling them hair ties, which is very, very, very interesting. Here'S why? So if we look on amazon, it looks like we have three big hair tie manufacturers and we have goody, scrunchy and revlon. Obviously, there's a lot more places and lots more people that make these things i'm talking about the generic ones you can buy at target. So looking at these, they describe their own product as elastics elastics, elastics, hair, elastics, hair elastics. So according to these companies, when they're selling their product they're calling them hair elastics, let's take a look a little bit further. So let's look at target.com all right. So, let's go to categories: let's go to beauty, show more. We have a hair accessory, so we go to the hair accessories site and it looks like oh, these are actually kind of pretty um so and it looks like these same thing as we saw on amazon's, etc, etc. But if we look at the type over here on the filters it looks like our only option is hair elastics, and that brings up everything that says elastics. So there you have it. If you want to be technical, it's a hair elastic. If you want to fit in with everybody else, it's a hair tie. If you want to be cool and do your own thing, you can call it a go-go, it really doesn't matter. Do your thing, but if you're asking your coworker for one most likely they'll understand what you're talking about, if you ask them for a hair tie. Thank you all so much for watching.

You know those things used to shoot at your friends personally. I'Ve been using hair tie recently, but i i kind of want to go back to ponytail holder, as you saw in my latest uh zara haul.
