    never. i used to as a back up. but once i got my bunning technique down, i've never needed it. even if i have to take my hair down to readjust my bun, i'm pretty confident with sticks and forks that i don't need an elastic.

    Our school uniform is a kind of putrid green, and I have a friend who always wears neon hair ties with it Not quite so co-ordinated...

    I always wear and elastic (unless I am going out somewhere I need to look more formal and then it's in my bag!) and most of the time my hair ends up in a messy bun and I don't even remember doing it!

    If I wear my hair down to work I'll take a hair tie with me so I can pull it back to do pedicures.
    Rest in peace, little kitty.

    no, because i don't use elastics unless it's at the end of a braid, in which case it barely fits around my thumb, much less my wrist.

    The other day I got back from going to the store, and I took of my jacket and there was one on my wrist that I didn't remember putting there.

    I always have one with me if my hair is down. I change my hairstyle a lot, 4+ times a day, I'll have it down, in a ponytail, back down again, up in a bun of some sort, etc.

    I I don't have my hair tied back, there will almost certainly be a tie on my wrist. I don't go anywhere without them.

    Oh I always have at least one. The BF and I both have long hair and we buy packages of the thick black Goody elastics. When I tidy up I always end up with a few on my wrist.
    We probably have 20 or so hiding in the nooks and crannies of our house at any time... the couch and the side of the bed are always good places to look for them.

    Only during the time I braid and even then then I feel uncomfortable with it. My wrists aren't very wide, but it still feels like the elastic cuts of the blood circulating.

    Ah...Vintage!
