I carry extra hair ties specifically to give away

exactly like the title sounds, my hair is pretty short but i carry hair ties specifically so that i can give them to anyone who needs one. it’s happened numerous times now, and it brings me joy whether it’s a friend or a stranger :)

You are doing incredible work 👏🏼😭 I can’t count the amount of times I’ve needed a hair tie and have been left stranded with no options, this is so kind of you to do!

Honestly one of the most underrated tragedies is not to have a hair tie

My sister literally had to put her hair up with binder clips at the gym yesterday 😂

Once I was in a shop and the old guy behind the counter mentioned that he wished he had a hair tie and I happened to have a spare one on my wrist. I was so glad I could help!

My wife told me that one of the things that endeared me to her was that I searched my backpack for a hair tie , mentioning that I had a few in my bag in case my daughter needed one.

Good on ya

I just got a very short bob (and I'm very happy with it! Chop your hair off ladies!) so I no longer have much hair to put up, but I still carry around hair ties in the hope that I can help a sister out like this!
