I can’t remember where I was, either volunteering with the American Red Cross or at the hospital but I was in desperate need of a hair tie. A nurse showed me this life hack!
She took a latex glove like one of these
She ripped off the end that ends at the wrist
You end up with something like this - it’s like a rubber band!
Tie your hair back and you’re good to go!
I never thought I’d use this life hack but it came in handy at the gym of all places. They didn’t have any hair ties but they had a box of latex gloves. Problem solved!
