There must be some black hole where hair ties go to die. Personally, I buy at least five packs of ten black hair ties a year and they all inevitably go missing. I never get more than five wears out of a single tie, either. I try and keep them on my key ring or in my bathroom around my face wash pump, since I need to pull my hair off my face to wash it. But somehow, some way, they always end up gone, baby gone.
The ones that don't vanish often stretch out and become threadbare, eventually snapping. Besides the hair ties that go M.I.A., my friend Randi Newport said, "My hair tie is always breaking. Or they magically disappear thanks to my cat."
Hair ties also can't handle the load of hair that is either too long or too thick and therefore snap, which is why my colleague Ana Santos grumbles that it's "too much effort to manage daily, broken hair ties." The aforementioned Cassie has had to resort to another method, saying, "I have to use scrunchies instead lately."
