This is definitely one of those things that people always wonder why they didn’t come up with it. A Connecticut woman obviously always needs her hair elastics around, and decided to come up with a way to have them with her all the time, conveniently.

Sometimes you just need an elastic, but wrapping them around your wrist is not exactly fashionable. Marketer Karin Zannella felt the same, and never enjoyed the red rings left behind, so she invented Hairbanglez.

The just-released jewelry is a bangle with special grooves that hold a single elastic band in place without being too obvious, and they are available in skinny for $16 and classic for $20. The bangles are currently only available in black, but Zannella has plans to release many more colors in the future.

Is this something that you’ve always needed or is your handbag enough for some spare hair accessories?
