EVERY girl knows the frustration of leaving the house without anything to tie up your hair.
This can be particularly annoying if you were planning a workout but don’t worry, your gym gear might hold the answer.
In a Reddit post, one user shared their shock at learning that there are hair bands hidden on most fitness tops.
The poster used an emoji to show how mind-blown they were by the discovery.
Available on most workout jumpers or jackets, the hidden hair band is actually right under your nose.
In fact, you’ve likely fidgeted with it between sets or on your way home from a run.
However, most people don’t even know that the handy feature is available.
The Redditor revealed that the zipper pull on your jacket likely contains a small elastic.
This is designed to be easily removed from your jacket and repurposed as a hair tie.
You can then re-tie it to your zipper once you are finished using it in your hair.
While the poster shared an example on their Scuba gear, the hidden hair tie is available on a variety of brands, including Lululemon.
“I’m sure most of y’all already knew this and I’m super late to the game,” the Redditor wrote.
“But I just saw on the website, as I happened to be wearing my Scuba half-zip, that one of the features of all the scuba hoodies are the emergency hair tie.”
The unnamed user went on to describe the design feature as “so cool.”
Reddit users shared their thoughts on the hack in the comments section.
“And the hair ties can be purchased as a replacement zipper pull if yours ever break,” wrote one reader.
“Oh wow. I was today year’s old when I learned this,” said another person.
“It’s the same on Define jackets! Such a cute little feature!” commented a third Redditor.
“Lots of the jackets and some of the bags come with these emergency ties! It’s great,” wrote another commenter.
“Oh my God! Thanks for sharing it. Great to know that,” said one reader.
“Oh my God, I had no idea! I’m going to check my bags and hoodies now,” commented another person.
“This has been around since the early 2000s,” wrote one Reddit user.
