Carabiners
I have quite long hair, which I always need to tie up so that my daughter doesn’t keep grabbing at it. However, I am forever losing hair bands. I don’t know what it is, or why they disappear, but there is some sort of black hole in my house that attracts them. When we finally move I’m going to find hundreds of the things somewhere.
I think that this hack might save me, and my husband, hours of frustration. Using just a simple carabiner, of the kind that you’d use to clip your bottle to your bag, you can keep all of your hair bands in one place. The bonus of this is that it’s much harder to lose a large carabiner than it is one solitary hairband.
