Hair elastics have been getting a lot of attention lately, and not for their excellent ponytail-maintaining qualities. A little debate is brewing about the one you're wearing on your wrist.

If you're starting to feel a bit self-conscious about your black band chilling on your bare wrist, Cosmopolitan seems to have found a solution. They have discovered a special bracelet that will hold—and kind of disguise—your wrist elastic. They're called Hairbanglez and they come in a variety of colors.
