Paging children of the 80s! (Mostly daughters of the 80s, I guess.)
Remember these?
hair elastics with plastic balls on each end

I loved those! They turned my braids into weapons with just a simple twist of my head. ;)

I remember these! I could never get them to work in my hair, though.

They're actually REALLY REALLY useful for keeping wires and cables tied up B-)

Can you still buy them? The elastic of these is shot.

You can find 'em on Amazon searching for bobble or twinbead ponytail holders.

YES!! And by the time my mom let me grow my hair long enough, they were not nearly as popular/easy to find.

OF COURSE

I remember how happy I was when I could prove to my mom that I didn't need them, that my braids would stay braided by themselves. Pigtails/ponytails were another matter and I had to use the one with the colored balls until I was old enough to buy my own non-balled elastics. I'm amused that I married a man and partnered another who both use those type of elastics even now.

ETA: I hated wearing the balled versions because to me in my pre-teen mind they looked all babyish and silly. I'm not a little girl anymore, Mom!!

Not *just* daughters of the '80s. I've never had long hair myself, but my mom sometimes let me do unspeakable things to play with her hair when I was a kid, and those were a common implement.
