For this project we were told to find a world problem and create a solution. My group took a more amusing approach to this project. We came to the conclusion that there was no existing hair tie that could have a strong hold, not rip out your hair, and not hurt your head. So, we decided to make a hair tie that could check all of those boxes.

Once we got our question we had to solve it. We brainstormed different materials to build a hair tie with. Once we settled on a silicon band wrapped in thread we decided to do two tests, as you can see above. Then we decided that that material would work perfectly for accomplishing what we want.
