If you're a woman of a certain age, you can most likely remember a trend that hit in the early to mid '90's; that of wearing a colorful hair scrunchie on your wrist like a bracelet. We fully participated in this trend (of course we did) and have clear memories of making sure we included a matching scrunchie when planning our outfits.
Blame it on a middle school flashback, but ever since that trend died off, we've been loathe to wear a hair tie - even a basic black rubber band - around our wrist. That is up until recently when we discovered a new trend, one that has hair ties once again doubling as bracelets. (Minus the lumpy, ginormous size of a scrunchie. Hallelujah.) You can find these dual-action hair ties/bracelets in a variety of places, including your local beauty supply or drug store. By bracelet they're cute, light weight, and easy to forget you're even wearing them. By hair, they do their job of a ponytail or messy bun holder with ease. Although if you're looking for a tight, sleek ponytail we recommend the old-school hair bands as these ties tend to provide a slightly looser hold. We have to admit, during these dog days of summer, it sure has been nice to have an easy go-to right on our wrist when we're desperate to get our hair up off our neck and out of our faces.
These ties come in all sorts of colors, though we happen to like the variety that Mane Message provides above some others we've seen recently. Though let's be honest. It's probably because she offers a tie dye option. And that thrills the middle schooler lurking just under our poised adult selves. Like, totally.
