Whether you're using them for DIY non-medical face masks, or have had your hair thrown up in a permanent top knot for the past couple weeks, you've probably been relying on trusty hair ties a lot lately.
If you're not especially skilled in the sewing department (or have not sewed so much as a button since middle school home-ec class), then you've probably already come across the no-sew face mask pattern, which requires only a bandana (or square piece of cloth), hair elastics, and some patience.
While we're not saying that you need to go out and buy ten packs of ties, it might not hurt to stock up on one or two if you want to make enough masks to last you before your next laundry day. And that doesn't even count all the elastics that mysteriously (and very consistently) vanish the minute they leave our ponytails or wrists.

Ahead, the best online stores to shop the trusty hair accessories that always seem to hold it together.
Despite labor strikes and increased scrutiny over the alleged mistreatment of employees at fulfillment centers, Amazon has still been experiencing a surge in orders as people rely on online shopping while staying home. If you're willing to exercise some patience, you can snag plenty of hair tie packs while they're still available.
