What do you call the thing that holds your hair up? Hair ties, ponytail holders, hair bows, elastics, or maybe none of the above? Growing up, my mom called them "wiggle-waggles" — don't ask me why. Imagine my embarrassment when I walked into first grade, searching for anything to tie my hair back, only to find out that no one knew what a "wiggle-waggle" was. The shame still lingers.
We recently asked POPSUGAR Instagram followers what they call that circular piece of elastic, and boy, did they deliver. Prompted by their strong opinions, I decided to ask my coworkers for their thoughts and feelings. Sadly, no one else picked up on the "wiggle-waggle" trend, but I did get a variety of answers I'd never considered before. Who knew the tiny band around your wrist could have so many names?
