So, what do you refer to these as?
 
I've always called them hair ties, but I understand most people when they ask for elastics or hair bands.

My mother's friend calls them Pretties. Threw me for a loop the first time
 
My daughter called them pretties when she was little, and it stuck. I called them ponytail holders when I was younger, along with those evil ones with the balls at the end the nearly gave me a concussion whenever my mother fixed my hair.

I call them "Territory Markers"

My girlfriend use to leave them everywhere....
 
The ones with metal on them are instruments of torture, not innocent hair accessories. >_<

We call them hair ties, hair bands, or 'scrunchies'. Though the real 'scrunchy' ones are the ones with more fabric around them.

PONYTAIL HOLDERS.
 
I always called them hair ties as that seems to be their main function, tieing down hair. Though I think those with the metal bits deserve another name.
 
It's either Ponytail Holder, or Hair Tie. It depends, really. :/
 
I call them ponytail holders of doom and pain as those particular kinds snap on me all the time (I have very thick hair) so I prefer scrunchies.
