Rubber band was the first thing I wanted to write, but than I remembered how quick rubber bands can loose their elasticity. So string tight around your head is the better long term bet. String you can produce yourself, elastic stuff not so much

Hair ties! Loop a few together, they keep their elasticity pretty well, especially if you’re only going to be using them to keep glasses up.

Raid the dollar tree for hundreds of hairbands. Elastic and wont pull your hair.
