    I don't know where all mine disappear to either! This will be great for when I'm in the house cos I hate my hair flinging around when I'm busy :)

    Heh, when I was younger, everyone at school used to use 'knicker elastic' in plain black or white - either overlap the ends and sew securely or simply knot it. Cheap, exactly the right diameter for your hair, and it doesn't matter if it gets lost.

    Thanks so much for this idea.I've now got 14 hairbands from an odd sock.

    Even better than socks are black tights that you have walked thru the toes on.
