Thank you! I want you to know I laughed so hard when I got your comment and all I could see was Bill wrapping a tiny scrape of women's underwear around his head. LOL! Is there a special name for them in Britain?
It didn't even occur to me that someone might misunderstand the term. But yes, a hair thing, almost just like a rubber band usually worn by men. At least that's what I've always called them.
