The grips bobby pins and the other one a headband!
There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.
I aint no abacus but you can count on me.
I think bauble is more used for christmas items? That's what I thought at least.
I think you're right--though my brain-logic had been thinking of these types of things that children wear, which to me would be classed as baubles? And I thought the term had evolved from that!
I'm from the South West and I would usually say hair tie, but I use bobble too and would know what it means. I've had people be confused when I ask them for a hair tie before (mostly when I lived in the Midlands for university).
That's a bobby pin! And to me, a hair band is a u-shaped band that goes on the top of your head to push your hair back. I wear them all the time and usually call them Alice bands but I don't know where I got that from. Maybe it's an Alice in Wonderland reference?
I usually tie my hair up with scrunchies these days because I have ALL the hair and it needs special equipment, haha.

Reason: added something
I call it a bobble and I'm from south-east England. Though my mum and sister laughed at me when I called it a bobble as apparently bobbles have to be 'bobbly'. Whatever that means.
Now I've typed the word 'bobble' so much it doesn't look like a word.

Lio despite not being able to see that last line on LFV I thought you'd written it and wandered into the thread to say purely reading it secondhand and the word 'bobble' doesn't look like a word anymore :P
I use bobble. I don;'t use the word hairband but have heard others use that. I am from a middle Northern region (I'm a hobbit really :P)
I forgot the name once in year two and my teacher made me sit on the floor of the classroom crossed legged whilst everyone at desks stared at me until I remembered it 10 minutes later. Why she placed such emphasis on knowing such a word I'll never know :P Doubt I'll have that issue again thanks to this thread :P

Speaking of bobble and bauble, I have had a lot of fun trying to teach one American member on here how to pronounce them differently- she said them both exactly the same! Americans on this thread, do you pronounce them differently to each other?
I'm in Ireland and I call them bobbins. I never heard them called bobbles or hair ties! A scrunchy is the velvety ones, a hairband is like what Mikey posted. And now I'm thinking boobles instead lol.
