they could, but you can also replace them if needed.
you are definitely an anomaly in preferring rubber bands to hair ties for your long hair (says the guy wearing his hair in a pony tail as he types this). i’m sure you’re not alone, but i don’t personally know of anyone else who actually prefers rubber bands. thinner hair, in particular, tangles easily in rubber bands.
mine’s not curly, it’s super straight. but it’s also super fine. it sees rubber bands as things to strangle like it was the kraken trying to pull a ship down.
I find it interesting that you call it hair “ties” if I am thinking of the right product. I had 11-12" cut off in December and it’s still partway down on my back. These are the latest I have ordered (I will show you the one I used when it was 11" longer as well). Are these what you mean by hair ties? Top one shorter hair; bottom pic longer hair (although I wrapped it around almost 3 times but it was tight)
ok just making sure. Loving the using of scraps…luckily I didn’t throw mine out they are all in a box below my glowforge, although I have broken some up a bit…they will be usable as you and @rbtdanforth have shown!! yay!
Can you tell me what size hole you are using for those ‘hair ties’? That would save some experimentation time. Thank you!
Hurrah!!! Perfect timing for me to see this today…my mom just called and asked if I had a couple of extra ear savers for her friends (retirement city). They just had their COVID-19 cases jump in their ZIP CODE! This mod will allow me to send her a LOT more (since I am getting low on acrylic and a new shipment will take awhile to arrive) …
A friend of hers told her that she was putting her mask on, while she had her hearing aid in, and then was putting on her glasses and the elastic caught the hearing aid and it popped out and hit the floor and broke! Mom immediately thought of these ear savers and asked me if she could get a few. I’m going to send her a variety of the ear savers so they can take what will work best for each of them. They are in Arizona.
I went out for the first time since this nonsense started to a restaurant to help friends who work at hospice and bring earsavers. We needed disabled transport to get there with the power chair and I gave out earsavers to them and the employees at the restaurant and both they and I were astonished at the difference they made, They were ready to buy them but I was like Santa Claus bringing gifts they did not know were possible.
A few things I noticed. Gas was $1.68, higher than I expected. Traffic was lighter than normal but only a little far more than I would expect though most businesses were closed. We ate outside at the most upwind point available, but while the staff was in protection few of the customers were and most ate inside, many older and disabled though I was the only wheelchair.
The county is number 5 in the state behind Orlando and South Florida, so I guess the danger will not go away anytime soon.
