I am having a crisis

[Deleted]

I didn't bring a hair binder to work today. I always have 2-3 on my wrist so I don't know how this even happened.

Grrr.

[ax2]

Pencil twist.

Hair elastic/hair binder/hair thing.

[pantsparty]

Okay, I had no idea what you were talking about. A binder of hair clippings? Hairstyles? I was seriously confused for a second.

[ooglie26]

Use a pen/pencil as a hair stick. I always fogetting mine at home.

I have a pen now, but I'm out of the office for meetings so I probably will have to take it down.

Well that's a term I've never heard.

A crisis is actually wearing them on your wrist

What is wrong with wearing one on your wrist? What do you have against wrist elastics?

[wowhead]

Rubber band. Just cut it out instead of pulling it out. Crisis averted.

I assumed this was another wedding post. I thought you had an entire binder filled with pictures of hair dos. I was rolling my eyes. never heard of a hair elastic being calls a hair binder.

In similar moments of desperation, I've used a rubber band.

I do t have a rubberband, but if I see one at the meeting I'll steal it.

I hate that, I'd use a rubber band. I call it a hair binder too, is it a Minnesota thing? I just realized that I also call rubber bands, rubber binders too. We talk weird I guess?

Gee thanks.

I was about to tell you it's time to step away from wedding planning if you have a hair binder.

I hate when I do t have a hair tie. None in your car??

Is hair binder like a east coast term or some shit?

I am part of the MN contingency. I usually just say "hair thing" but I was trying to be formal. Ha.

According to Wikipedia hair binder is a Minnesota term.

[WOT?*]

Is your hair long enough to wrap in a bun and pull the end through so it's a "hair knot" type of bun?

[sergey]

I only use actual rubber bands, it's all that will hold up my hair. The trick is to find the smoother ones that don't grip onto individual strands. *hair flip*

I have too, and it is inevitably a disaster!

desperate times call for desperate measures!

That's ok, don't worry about it.

[BaliHai]

The next time someone makes fun of me for saying hair tie, I'm going to hit them with hair binder.

Sorry, OP. I'm pretty sure my makeup bag senses whenever I need a hair tie and then eats the ones in it. I feel your pain.

Glad I wasn't the only one.
I have never heard of it being called a hair binder.

[jane6672]

I get real specific and call it a "Pony-tail holder"
