Hairties/elastics
Okay, here is a picture of the plainest you can get with hair tools. If you don't have any of these, you either have short hair, have lost them, or have found a miracle way to manage hair without one. These are a very versatile style tool, used in everyday basic styles. But what about when you want to hide the tie?
They do have them in brown, blonde, and other hair color variations, but those are harder to find sometimes. Also, sometimes they are too thick or too noticeable. (They are very useful,though. If you lose them easily, break them easily, or like doing ponytails and simple buns, I suggest buying more than 5-7 of these.)

These are multicolored (hair color) hairties. Usually it's hard to match them to blonde, light brown, colored, or highlighted hair, but the closer you can get, the better. They are pretty much the same as the ones above except for their varying color.
As I was perusing the internet for hair tie pictures, I saw this--Could it be true? I went to the page where the picture was from and read the article. I don't know what to say--I don't have any myself, and I haven't seen them before, but I will definitely have to try one of these out. Let me know how they work if you try them! :)
So, these are thinner hairties. People with thinner hair can pull these off for use in normal ponytails, high ponytails, and buns. Even so, they can still be useful for other purposes where the average hairtie can be a bit too bulky.
Since these ones are easier on the wrist, but can still be used for side braids, securing a simple or sock bun, and doing low ponies, I like to take them to school with me. For thick hair, they have less purpose, but they can still come in handy for those times when you don't have a small elastic to finish off a braid or pigtails.
These ones also come in multicolor.

I almost bought a package of these once, but settled for a bulk pack of the bottom ones.However, this would be a good "starter" package for those tiny braid pullbacks, accents, and the like.
The TINY ones at the top would probably best suit those microbraids and cornrows, such as used here and here.
The middle ones are probably best for slightly bigger braids such as here.
The bigger small ones (at the bottom) are best for pigtails and side braids, such as here and here, when you want the hairtie to be less noticeable than the beautiful 'do.

I have never seen these before in a store, but they seem to be translucent hair-color-tinted mini elastics. Assuming that they function the same as the clear ones, they would be good for blending in to your hair. Again, I have never tried them, but if you see them and want to try them, don't be afraid.
These are the hairties I see my friends with slick straight hair use, and I have seen them at stores (also in multiple hair colors), but haven't tried them. Based on their claim, I suggest that those of you with hair that slips easily out of a normal hairtie or need a strong grip, this is your elastic.
