Hair bobble/tie/elastic

[hellohello202011]

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...

They are hairbands in our house.

I usually call a hair band/ elastic band for your hair/ scrunchie/ ponytail band.
I can't think of a definitive name apart from scrunchie, sorry! I've heard hair bobble too, but I imagine that has got balls or beads or something on it.

Hairband for plain ones, scrunching for fabric covered ones.

Bobble for a normal one, scrunchie for a fabric covered one.

Thanks everyone, that's interesting to hear. First time I heard about scrunchies, but it sounds like just what it does

Bunch band here for the plain thin elastic bands. Hair bands are the big ones that go right round your head. Scrunchies are bunch bands with ruched fabric covering. Bobbles are bunch bands with some sort of decoration on, bow, beads or similar.

Hairband for the plain elastic ones for ponytails. Head band for the u-shaped thing that goes on the top of your head (really hard to describe it turns out!). Scrunchie for the hairband covered in ruched fabric.

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

Hair band for the plain one. Scrunchie for the puffy one. Alice band for the one round your head.

The ones I had as a kid were called bobbles... but that's because they had bobbles on them, pairs of plastic balls.

Scrunchies are the ones with fabric that you scrunch up.

Hair bands are the ones which go round your whole head (aka Alice bands).

The thinner ordinary ones are just hair ties or elastics.

Bobble for a normal one, scrunchie for a fabric covered one.

Same as this. Hairband for the one that goes round the head (there was a trend when I was at primary school for the girls to wear black velvet ones with their names on in bright colours)

Hairband for the plain ones and bobbles for the ones with little round balls on.

Go go.

Go go. Would be a bobble elsewhere. This is NI.

here in ireland we say bobbin.

Ah that's cute!

So interesting!

Hair bobble, hair elastic, hairband

I know! I buy primark ones and use the thin ones from the bunch but they always disappear too soon

Hair band for the plain elastic one, scrunchie for the big chunky fabric one, Alice band for the one that goes round your head that Blair Waldorf wore, hair bobble if it’s got two little decorative balls or other solid shape (eg plastic daisies) on it.

Hair band for small thin one or scrunchie for thick fabric ones!

Oh and Alice band for the bit of plastic that goes from ear to ear over your head.

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!

Hair bobbles in my house

Aww :)
Banana clip! Funny name but googled it and the name suits perfectly! I've never used them though.
Like the sound of clasp - that's the sound they make!
