Scrunchies (as godawful as they are) are simple to make too. Take a close look at the fabric hair accessories in the stores, they’re stupidly simple in design and can even be sewn completely by hand. Saves money too!

Switching to internet news would have been an early change for me. Or like I do, reading the newspaper scraps at my coffee shop each morning. As a guy the hair thing is not such a problem.

OR the chopsticks cause they’re cute.

It is pretty, reusable, and way nicer on my hair then a rubber band. Oh, they have wooden ones too. Check them out here:

But my hair is also so thick that when it gets long enough chopsticks don’t really hold without feeling like they’re going to break.

What I”m trying to say is…go for the rubberbands if they don’t hurt you. : )
