Since many years ago I thought it would be interesting to stick the end of a braid (the tassel-y bit after the hair tie) into a small satin bag, to protect the ends.

But I didn't have any money at all at the time and now I have money but not enough hair to try it! I assume you'd probably need another hair tie to keep it on, even once the bag is closed and tied...
I'd probably try a claw clip too... (and of course by "hair tie" I really mean a scrunchie! )

Am I just crazy or does anyone else think this would work? Would it look too silly to be worth it? Hahaha.
The idea was inspired by bun covers.
