That the telephone cord can be "careful", and it is easy to adapt a bracelet both on a wrist and on a hairstyle, I happened to learn only on the example of an elastic band novelty from Invisibobble. It is possible to consider and get such elastics here - invisibobble.ru - from the exclusive representative of a brand in Russia.
In the name consisting of two English words the intrigue is already concluded.
In translation from English, "Invisible" - "invisible", i.e. we deal with something invisible, but, judging by the responses exclusively convenient in use.
Such effect is reached because of variety of elastic bands: it is possible to pick up color so that the elastic band "was practically dissolved" in hair, and it is possible to highlight, on the contrary, its presence with bright color.
Telephone wire as way to keep hair
Paradoxically, truth?
During a "domobilny" era, many were irritated by ability of a telephone cord to be twisted so that at the most inappropriate moment (only when the call was distributed) the receiver was tightly fastened to the device.
To answer, it was necessary to bend to phone or to be enough all device together with the opposite twisted cord.
And here that surprisingly! For so many years came to nobody to mind to use a cord as a hair accessory.
And on a wrist from a telephone cord only severe young men with square shoulders from movies of times of "dashing nineties" could attach "bracelets".
The original idea to use a cord from idle phone as subsidiary means for creation of a hairstyle, came to mind to the stylist from Munich Sophie Trelles-Tvede.
The legend of creation of an elastic band cord which is spread around on the Internet, says that the 19-year-old student solved thus a problem of an unruly hair which suffered from influence of other elastic bands, spoiled hair and caused a headache.
By means of the friend Felix Haffa who already had experience in sales of accessories, Sofia realized the extraordinary idea. Her ingenuity and enterprise can only be welcomed.
At Sofie Tvidis now multimillion business, and her elastic bands springs are world renowned.
Progress miracles
Sofia and Felix all calculated precisely: the elastic band innovation too differed from other similar devices:
- stylish design – a special spiral form;
- material – flexible and soft environmentally friendly silicone;
- hair, thanks to an unusual form, are saved from zalom;
- are calculated on any "fluffiness" and length;
- head skin does not suffer.
Well, the progress miracle is simple!
Fell in love with soft multi-colored spiralk around the world, and even children's volosika are not harmed.
Casting of long-haired
I got strange and spiral elastic bands for testing from the official representative in Russia - the Best Brends company. Otherwise I just would not buy them for one simple reason – my hair experienced next "imagination" of the hairdresser, and their length was cut by half.
That it was clear to you, I after all tried to represent "tails" from the hair.
It looks so.
For the objective reason I had "to whistle" urgently the general gathering of all familiar with long hair. Well, or at least with vegetation of average length.
Persons interested were, underwent selection and started an experiment.
We study overseas features
The received boxes were so tiny, and elastics are so small that I was overcome by doubts concerning their advertized abilities to hold hair in the necessary situation.
Packing suffered when transporting a little, but it was not reflected in elastic bands in any way.
Two transparent boxes were received. In everyone – on three pieces of elastic bands. In one – transparent with small brilliant impregnations. In another – opaque, saturated cherry color.
Made laugh names. Except patented "Invisibobble", transparent "LOVE" and here specification – "The I LOVE YOU" that did not doubt are called!
From a reverse side one more name - "YOU'RE PURRFECT". And, against the background of cat's moustaches!
The second box was "covered with drawings" even more abruptly.
First, it was called by "DINNER FOR TWO" (a hint on the fact that will master together elastic bands springs), but also the rhyme was "attached" on a bokovinka.
The sense of the poem comes down to the fact that packing of elastic bands of Invisibobble costs cheaper, than a joint meal.
Such painted boxes with elastic bands can be used as gift option for the girlfriend (if there is nothing in a stock at all!).
All the rest on packing – in the habitual mode.
The sticker in Russian reporting these companies representatives in Russia
the quantity of elastic bands in packing, the instruction on eco-friendly material of which the packing box is made is designated.
This "telephone" miracle, judging by an inscription on a box, is manufactured in China.
There is no mention of structure.
All information on production material (artificial pitch) and the sizes of elastic bands (diameter external – 3 cm, and internal – 16 mm) can be found on the official site of Brities.ru online store where it is, actually, possible to order elastic bands-spiralki.
Check on durability
The elastics springs taken from boxes looked very tiny.
For descriptive reasons photographed them near the device for an adhesive tape.
The absolute smoothness is not observed. Places of solderings are well visible in the picture, but so fixedly we considered elastic bands only for the detailed description. In a usual condition of a junction it is not visible.
Testing for durability of an elastic band-spiralki was undergone.
We stretched them differently, with special diligence, but they sustained - elastic. "Plus" elastics earned deservedly.
Then testing on hair began.
Long hair can be "coordinated" differently:
- in braids;
- in a tail;
- the combined options.
Elastic bands earned one more "plus" since they did not "tear" hair, almost did not leave zalom, and were distributed on hair without drawing them.
On hair of average length of options of hairstyles there is not a lot of, but it is possible to think up.
All "models" were unanimous in the following:
- elastic bands well hold hair;
- the headache is not observed;
- springs do not draw and do not confuse hair;
- it is possible to use on hair of different length;
- the quantity of "turns" is selected individually, most often – two;
- do not "tear" hair;
- there is no smell, do not stick to hair.
How to look after
Care of spiral elastic bands very simple: it is possible to wash separately in soap warm water or it is even simpler - during washing of the head put on a hand as a bracelet.
Dries quickly, from influence of water does not spoil.
Features
1. All my "models" recommended not to pull together elastic bands from hair, and to untangle them. So more simply and more conveniently.
2. Long and especially very thick hair, elastic bands long will not hold in a high hairstyle – slip to a nape.
3. After use stretch, but quickly restore the initial form in hot water.
Here elastic bands after long use,
here they in hot "bathtub",
and here – in 5 minutes after acceptance of a bathtub.
4. Elastic bands can be used as a bracelet.
In my opinion, such application is possible only for very young girls, but on taste and color …
In any case, some famous young ladies do not hesitate to carry Invisibobble at all and as a hair accessory, and as bracelets.
We here too tried.
Results
Testing of the elastic band spring reminding a telephone cord took place successfully.
Obvious "minuses" are not revealed therefore they can be recommended as a stylish and convenient hair accessory which is capable to save both your nerves, and your hair.
