Unlike regular ring-shaped hair elastics, which may slowly slide out throughout the day, the Hair Bungee, $4.99 for a 4 pack, is a single piece of elastic with hooks on both ends. It's easy to use: simply hook one end of the Hair Bungee into your hair, wrap around the ponytail and fasten with the other hook.

The Hair Bungee is available in blonde and brown shades at hair and beauty salons and selected pharmacies. Call 1300 181 441 or buy online at www.hairbungee.com.
