I've always worn my hair long, but never tied it up (even when working with dangerous power tools, much to my father's chagrin). Since I've started dressing, I've taken an interest in styling a bit and it sure requires a quantity of hair ties and bobby pins!
Need to start dinner? Time to tie the hair back!
Need to get the dishes done? Time to tie the hair back!
Need to put on a full face foundation? Time to tie the hair back!
Need to keep cool in the summer while getting the housework done? Time to tie the hair back!
When I first obtained a quantity of ties and pins, I naturally thought that I'd keep them safely in a box in a spot where I'd always find them. Turns out, the better solution is to toss a small handful randomly in each room of the house. It's where they end up anyway!
