Damn Polyshits

So, I wear something called "PolyBands" in my hair. Think of the traditional hair band, you know, the elastic with thread around it, but only more so like a clear rubberband. About 4 years ago, I started using these after I noticed that my hair was breaking from being in a ponytail. These are supposed to be gentler and everything. But the one thing I have noticed is that they break after every other use. And it's not like they break while I'm trying to put them in my hair... no... they break when I'm sitting down, minding my own business, and then snap... there goes the band, and my hair comes tumbling down. I know my chicas out there can relate to this... When I have my hair up, it's because it looks like crap in the first place, but now, I have no way to pull it back, making it look like uber crap. Damn you hairband company.. I blame all of my bad hair days on you!
