What do you call it? Used to live in the US and called it hair tie, then picked up bobble from my friend here, but most people I know call it hair tie...

Hair bobbles....I wish I knew where they all went. I buy hundreds of them but can only ever find one!

I call them ponytail bands or hair bands. I would call the over-the -head one (either stretch fabric or Alice band style) a hair band too though.
I agree that “bobbles” are what we had as kids, ponytail bands with little plastic decorations on them, balls, fruits, animals etc. I can still remember all my favourite ones and I’m 49!
OP a scrunchie is a very specific fashion statement from the 90s- google for a pic.
For info, the things that you clip on to your head, like a little flexible metal thing to keep your fringe out of the way, are called “hair clips” in England but in Scotland we always called them “clasps”. (I mean the decorative ones, the non-decorative ones are Kirby grips).
When I worked in a pharmacy in the late eighties we had a massive rack of “banana clips” that it was my job to organise. People loved those!
