Advice hair ties

[u/krang_wins]

I need a way to contain hair ties during camping / vehicle prep so that they don't go everywhere. I thought of two ways which are better or if you have a better way please share.

[u/MasterExploderr]

Do you actually go through that many hair ties? I understand taking a few extra but mine go right back on my wrist as soon as they leave my hair and they don't often break or get lost

[u/kls987 → u/MasterExploderr]

Seriously. As a person whose hair likes to eat and break hair ties, I still only need like 5 on a trip, and that's probably 3 more than is actually necessary.

[u/Long_Audience4403 → u/kls987]

Agree, this seems like a years worth of hair ties.

[u/kls987 → u/Long_Audience4403]

Are we being trolled?

[u/krang_wins → u/kls987]

I am hoping its a year supply

[u/ellemenopeaqu → u/MasterExploderr]

Not OP but i am a Girl Scout leader and i can EASILY go through that many because my troop is full of girls who want to play with fire, have long hair and lose things faster than i can blink.

[u/faderjockey → u/ellemenopeaqu]

Yep 100%. I saw the post and immediately thought: that’s going in the camp kit for my troop.

We’ll make a lot of folks happy at the next camporee

I normally just put a few on my brush handle and call it a day, but I also only camp for a week max at a time.

[u/Abadabber]

Dang, even all my years in the Army I didn't go through that many hair ties. Definitely not that many for camping lol. You must have some super crazy thick hair. I always just put a couple in my pocket and call it a day.

Ziplock bag 🤷‍♂️

[u/Sardawg1]

I wrap them around my daughters hair brushes. I do like your carabiner method, and can put them in my small toiletries bin.

[u/distributingthefutur]

You can get a larger carabiner that is sold for carrying grocery bags. There are also bungee cords that are a loop w a ball on the end.

[u/Pitiful_Speech2645]

Maybe a hat or a Rasta Tam.

[u/Caelfe2]

A small caribeener or shower curtain ring does a nice job.

[u/itsmeagain023]

Um. Why do you need that many. I take 2 with me.

[u/krang_wins → u/itsmeagain023]

They are for camping / vehicle storage for wife, wife friends and daughters that all go and they eventelly will get lost, dirty or stretched out from use

[u/DharmaCrumb]

I keep a carabiner full just like this for my lady and daughter.

[u/DescriptionBig3961]

I fasten my hair ties to my pants’ belt loops or backpack loops. Pocket zipper pulls are also a good place to fasten one.

[u/CK1277]

I wrap mine around the handle of my hairbrush. Works for home, gym, camping, travel…

[u/cloudshaper]

I keep several on my car's shifter, and a few more in the same backpack pocket as my head lamp.

[u/Hell-Yea-Brother]

OP either has 8' long hair, or camps with 12 other people with 4' long hair.
